A Sample Poker Hand Of Omaha Part2
Bob likes this flop a lot, because he has the "nut" (best possible) flush draw. If another diamond comes up on the turn or the river, he will make a strong hand, and, though he can't know it, he is likely to collect a number of bets from Andy, whose second-nut flush would wind up costing him a lot of money. But that's not all. Bob also has a pair of aces and an inside straight draw (often called a "gutshot" straight draw); if a jack hits the board, Bob's queen and ten will give him an 8-9-10-J-Q straight.
Chuck: (2_0~[2~[-3- This was a pretty nice starting hand, with four connected high cards and two possibilities for a flush, and Chuck has hit a monster draw: his [Vl'S gives him not merely a flush draw but also an open-ended straight-flush draw: if either [5 or 0 hits the board, Chuck is going to make a lot of money, especially from Bob, who is going to think his ace-high flush is "the nuts" until roughly the moment when Chuck reraises him for the third time. Chuck also has an open-ended straight draw—any queen or seven will give him a straight. (Unless he can make the straight flush, he'll be much better off making a straight than a flush, because his jack-high flush would lose to two other players.) Chuck also has a pair of aces with a king kicker, which at the moment is the best hand, but there is a low probability that this will win the hand, because, if he makes two pairs—aces up—then someone else will make a stronger hand. If 0 (the only king left) hits the board, Chuck will have aces and kings, but the same king will give Andy three kings. If a jack hits the board, Bob makes a straight. If a ten hits the board, Hal makes a straight. Chuck would need two perfect cards in a row for his ace to be useful: the last two aces in the deck would give Chuck three aces, which would win if no one makes a straight or a flush. So he has plenty to think about, and he doesn't know what's out there facing him.
Hal: |3-|51"H"[S- Hal has "hit the n°P" Iust wel1 enough to get into trouble. He has a pair of nines, but—more important—he has an open-ended straight draw by using his ten, jack, and queen. A seven, a ten, a jack, or a queen will give Hal a straight.
If it seems as though there are a lot of possible ways for each player to win (or lose) out there, you're right. Welcome to Omaha.
Because everyone still in the hand has a "piece" of this flop (meaning it has either improved all four of them or given them all at least some reasonable drawing possibility or other), even though those pieces are all draws rather than made hands, the betting action is likely to be anywhere from very cautious to very aggressive, depending on the playing styles of the people in the game.
