For $4 more, it's tough to say. It seems a given, that you're losing to a better flush. You do have a small chance to fill up (but I'm thinking it's not worth it to find out).

You can safely muck knowing that you saved $4 on this hand.

Well villain wasn't drawing to nut flush on the flop, does that change my play at all?

Are you implying that villain has a non-nut flush? I'm sort of confused by this statement. What do you think the villain is drawing to (if not a flush), that would cause him to come over the top on the turn?

I guess I'm saying that if you think your flush is good, then by all means of course you call.

If you put him on a straight draw than by all means bet, but if villain plays his flush draws similarly I think I am check/calling a small bet hoping to fill up on the river, if it is a pot sized bet I prolly fold. 8 high flush doesn't really give your hand a lot of strength.

This is read dependent, right? We need to know if he goes for straights, flushes in the same way. We also need to know that he isn't retarded. Because if he is retarded then he could have just hit AAA.

Against someone new to the table, or if I am new to the table, this is an irritated fold. But if I've seen him be an idiot, I'll call. At the very worst you have some outs.

*edit: Looking at this some more, I think I would be calling here. What happenned?

what are you hoping to acomliiush by betting the turn like that into 3 players?

value bet, thin the field, make people fold ???

At the time, the thought was 'value bet'.

Help a non-omaha player out...since this is omaha high, why aren't we folding preflop?

I prefer this hand to be played in LP for not more than two bets. It's not particularly strong by any means. You're definitely looking for a flop with baby cards. You'd play this in LP if there are a few limpers, b/c you're hoping that they're holding a bunch of high cards, thus you'd expect low cards to flop. The sooted cards strength is in backdoor flush potential, not to be relied on primarily.

Also, snickers, if this were Omaha hi/lo it should be insta-mucked in every position (with the exception of the SB for 1/2 bet and checked in the BB).
