Re: One For Omaha Players pot sized bet for me:ok your not gonna get much better than this but you need to protect the hand by raising. for a start the sb limps in a lot ,so a flat call may give him the odds to call as well and you really dont want that. hopefully from your notes red has a high pair:hopeas this gives you the best chance of a win(and maybe a reraise if he has ks).:hope its not double suited connectors as then your about a coinflip:eek i always try to isolate a player hu with aces in omaha as vs 2 players your odds will drop dramatically and you really need to hit an ace or flush to win,chances are your single pair wont be enough. better to either pick up the pot or try to get hu with red. one thing i would say is that if slick thinks he can limp into pots with the blinds this high, then the table is lacking aggression.you should be taking advantage of this and pot raising with anything reasonable in decent position:ok i take it the a seat way outways the 3-5 cash prizes :unsureas long it does i would be playing very aggressively at this point.
