Its zoom, I only play zoom sometimes for 5-10 mins when starting tables, so no stats on opp. Pre its super standart 3 bet, dont know why I just call. Flop I think call is better, cause if I raise he folds all his bluffs (I dont need to protect my hand) and if he 3bet I have to fold. Turn he pots again, no reason to raise, I think I can even fold sometimes, cause I will have only 3-6 outs sometimes, but I think call not so bad. But river is 100% fold I think. He got at least K8, but most of the time KT. He will not pot AK, KQ for sure. And he will not bluff, cause when I call 2 times I have king most of the times.

I'm not an omaha pro yet, but,

I would 3bet preflop

As played, 3bet/ happy broke flop with toptrips, full house outs and backdoor flush, worse hands like nutflushdraws/ worse trips/ overpairs might still call you.

Hi,

standard 3b preflo ur right... Postflop i'm folding the river every time of the week. He is not potting 88xx here often enough for ur play to be profitable. I agree with the turn call tough... he might be just 2 barreling and if he has K8xx we have max implied odds.

Regards,

What would the purpose of the flop raise be? You are making it waaaay to easy for the opponent to raise flop here.
