I think it was the right thing to do, he already hadthe nuts and a one of the other players kept raising, if he went all in or made a big raise he probably wouldn't have called but by betting 10cents he probably made the raising player to think he was just trying to buy a cheap showdown and that he didn't have the nuts and therefore he caught him in a trap. Well played in my opinion.

Thanks dude, I minimum bet and hoping that the other player would reraise, good thing a J showed up on the river gave the other guy a straight or else he might have not called the all-in.

Yeah, there are really a big difference between omaha an hold em, the card variation and the hi/lo would make me crazy so for now, i'd stay clear from them.

Omaha is a great game, actually I recommend all different varieties of poker. Once you begin to understand them all, it helps you to improve in ways you wouldn´t believe!

Youre wrong give it some time and youll see that it is little more details to take care of but its great game. Only thing why i dont play it so often, NL Omaha Hi/Lo is there are too many maniacs playing for low hand and hoping for high. Go to Limit omaha and learn youll find it easier to play then holdem because you actually play minimun of 2 hands with same community cards. Give it another try.

You got it fodz.
If i may add hand played well but dont do it often because you got lucky with the guy who would go allin lowend straigh, you played him good, i would also bet minimum or no bet at all on river. Ill have a beer.
