So short stack HJ open. If my hand had higher second suite I would 3bet though maybe versus shortie like that its not big concern? Though we have 3 players with 100bb-200bb behind. So everyone call behind and we almost get family pot.

Now BB lead half pot (weird sizing...) and shortie shove. I cant fold having nut fd and nut gutshot. Also I think its good for me if more people stay in pot. So I think call is only option.

BU and SB fold and thing I was afraid of happens and BB 3bets. But yeah we still have those 8 flush outs and 3 straight outs and some implied even if he has TT or QQ. Now shove doesnt achieve anything imo. Though I am pretty committed to pot on most turns versus shove but if it happens to bet Q or T I can fold. So I thought call or fold probably close to each other but with likely implieds probably best to call.

We get to turn where I didnt even notice having two pair (:f_thumbsup:) which is pretty important as we could have 2 extra outs also versus flopped set. So I called turn shove but wasnt really sure about my actions on flop and turn overall. But yeah if I put like QQxx, KQJT range on turn I still have 30% and only need 26% or so.

Well maybe this hand simply "plays itself" but was thrilling spot to me being biggest omaha pot so far

PS: Now afterward yeah BB lead should probably always be less than half pot of shortie so I take back my weird sizing comment. Would probably be better to be bit bigger but not more than half of shortie.

I think you can never fold the turn, even with any Q or 10, as he might also have any kind of combodraw.
Therefore I would make life easy and ship it after he 3bets flop.

@kyyberi: my mistake
@najtreg: i thought about the same and came to the idea to fold on paired turns: we have the two highest suits so BB sits on top2+ OTF most of the times. why you want to draw for flush/straight on paired turn?

I would rather not draw on paired turn boards, therefore I would like to realize my flop equity (which is high enough I guess to stackoff) versus his entire range (including sets, top two and wraps).

I might have misunderstood this concept but I thought the idea behind calling and folding on turned boards instead of pushing the flop all in is that we dont push that much equity when GII OTF (flipping at best means EV0 at best) so instead we call and save money on paired turns.

on the other side my initially thoughts about this was the same like yours, he should not checkshove pure wraps not even donk it 5way. well if he does we are good to get it in and dont want to fold to a weak draw on a paired turn. but 5way OTF i dont assume he donks half pot with weak draws, except those with 2pair+

general rule of thumb i remember here (might be i understood it wrong):
if we see turns where we can fold, we just call flop
if there is no turn we would fold we can just GII on flop

I think is a correct general rule of thumb.
In this case, I think we cannot fold turn ever based on stack and potsizes, so I close my eyes, shove flop and hope for the best

Also a disclaimer inbetween, I am not a proffesional, so I can obv be wrong

Btw, I missed that it was 5way flop, improving his flop range strength drastically... but still....

My plan was to fold on Q and T and stack off all other turns. Also was going to write about me blocking both high flushes which could make those weaker draws unlikely. Also didnt expect to see that much T4xx or Q4xx combos necessarily. Well unknown villain but even if having like KQJ4 should BB be that eager to get it in being this deep? QTxx with support I understand as it makes me having sets unlikely.

Though I suppose you could argue that me having TT or QQ is unlikely after just calling flop. Would be fine at least with support and to let BB have chance for 3bet. But yeah in reality I would have probably 3bet lot of top sets at least.

I would prefer a fold preflop with that hand. You see where it leads on the flop (luckily BB doesn't ship OTF). You get a lot of tricky spots multiway especially if your opponents know how to use the shortstack that puts you in a bad relative position postflop. Ok, it's the micros. So, probably they won't do it (intentionally) but it still happens. You don't want to have much of a callingrange here pre - especially given the high rake environment
