Lock the doors!

I love players like this...too bad they didn't reload....

I thought they were on a diamond draw, but as you can see, they called all in on the turn with top pair and a gutshot straight draw without a diamond in their hand.

I almost feel bad for some of these players. I mean, it's obvious that they really don't understand the game of Omaha, and should really learn it before jumping in to a cash game, especially at .50/1PL

With as many free games going on that people can play, there's no need to sit at a cash table and not know what is going on. Let's face it. Omaha isn't a game for those with a weak stomach :smile: It's hard as hell to make the switch from hold'em to Omaha.

all-in on a pair and a gutshot.

I hope you tagged him for future reference.

That was really bold of him to go all in on one pair.

Like you mentioned beaston, going fishing is something you do not do in Omaha. You may get away with it in Hold'em, but not in this game.

I get worried about calling when I have two pair in PL Omaha or even Limit Omaha.

It is too easy to be taken out by trips from another player, with the table deal you showed above.

Good thing your gut feeling payed off.
