Re: PL Omaha Hi/Lo Cash - SB play i would be pot betting+flat call any reraise. its a good hand with a lot of good outs so you really want a bit of a pot, but as your out of position you dont wanna go crazy. also by raising this should define his hand a little better,if you call he could reraise with junk or a hand . if you raise and get reraised then you can start putting him on more likely holdings and might save or help you in certain positions . ie theres a lo on board and you have the second nuts he might well have a2;). or it can help you to win bigger pots ,if say you are sure the other guy has a2 and you have a2+nut flush then you push as much as possible because its very hard for most opponents to fold a hand like this:ok this way the pot gets to just under $2 dollar max ,easy to fold on a bad flop but easier to build a pot post flop as the villan has some invested. also if the flop is tricky you can check call fairly cheaply till the river;) what happens next depends on the flop:loon
