Slow play nut flush?


I opened CO, BTN and SB called.

I checked flop, BTN B50, I called.

BTN B50 on the turn... should I continue to slow play? Or raise small and shove river?

It definitely seems like he has a weaker flush. I think slowplaying is the correct move, but just want to double check.

I think we want some nuts in both check call and check raise lines. The 9 and the 3 probably make us want to slow play more often as we are not worried about most rivers.


When he B50 twice I’m raising. He’s not putting us on bluffs with a cc again and B50 can look weak so he’s likely never folding a flush here or a set. I also expect to see less bluffs from him with this sizing so we don’t get a river bet out of him much unless he’s 3x VB too thin


Played fine so far good flop check either way ok ott. But now that's we've KC flop and k turn it's time to start building the pot so that stacks are at risk for one action otr. I like raising to 35.

He may or may not stick with it. B50 B50 isn't a thing here so prolly lost and not sure what to do with something middling. Imo what he's most unlikely to do is triple barrel so between donk clean rivers and raise now I choose the latter.


A lot of your value in these spots come from inferior flushes and maybe a set trying to chase a full house. I would bet away on all streets - this isn't a board that will be bet multiway unless they have a flush/set/etc and it seems btn has something.

You think slow playing in pot limit Omaha is the right move?


I think the problem with always slow-playing here is that it reduces your ability to bluff with the bare Ace. Definitely opponent specific, but I think you should generally play nut flush faster and hope they think you are running a bluff. This also prevents the board from pairing and killing your action.

Having two pair here does mean that the board will pair less often, so maybe that affects the decisions here.


Slow playing has more merit either the better your opponents are or the more bluffy they are. The problem here is we have no reason to think either of these things and he’s using 1/2 pot sizing twice which is probably more of a middling range going for value than a bluff
