May be a typo but it's hard to imagine a five card PLO hand that's single suited with no hearts (unless it's three of the suit). Anyway never played 5 Card PLO but not sure it would change the strategy here.

With seven limpers (isn't B&M cash game Omaha great!) I'm usually not checking the flop. With a smaller field (three or four players) I might wait a round to make sure board doesn't pair or a heart comes but with this large a field it seems you can start building now and give up on any board pair or heart (if it comes on the turn). OTOH I assume with this board and this many players you would assume that someone bets and even raises the flop for you.

Don't know your stack size but I'm guessing you're covering most or all based on previous posts. With the raise by the tight player you can assume you are either tied with him or he has something like a top or middle set and redraw to a flush (or possibly the non nut straight with redraws). But with FIVE! cold callers you might as well get money in now since it's likely they hold cards that block a river flush or the board pairing and you have to beat most of them now.

Interested to see what the better minds and more experienced players think but sometimes it's good to expose ones thinking early. I've been running good but am fairly sure my play isn't anyway near my results.

Edit to say if you pot turn it would be to an amount were the action can't be re-opened and most would be all in or nearly all in (if they called).


I like flop check, our hand is just too vulnerable and with this many limpers and the pot this small we're going to get a lot of calls and if just one other person has the same hand as us we're losing chunks of equity. Our hand is just not strong enough to protect. We want a blank turn before we start building a pot, and to protect our checking range. Often when we check, a turn fills a draw and we get to get away for 0 more bucks.

I would carry on calling here, for similar reasons. Bear in mind there's a reasonable chance we're drawing to a chop if it blanks out, and with this action, it's not impossible we're facing a 3-way chop. I call and check 100% of rivers just in case some lunatic wants to bluff their blockers.

You answered your own question!


If this xx is not another flush draw , I pot here . Happy to chop all the dead money with another player . We might be free rolled here , but given the amounts of calls , he's out are probably not much .
This is our last street to charge draws , and probably they will fold their equity here .
