Easiest pot decision since I saw the Dead in 94.

Best case: We scoop.
Worst case: We get outdrawn on the high and get sixthed on the low. If we are three at showdown, we lose half of our starting stack.

Admitting that I'm not a great Omaha strategist and without crunching the numbers, even I know that there would be only two words flying out of my mouth on this street: Pot and Repot.

As an aside, didn't @Chicken Rob name his jet skis Pot and Repot?

Pot it, hope v1 calls and David O raises.

Now I agree with betting pot 100%!

But I hate saying Pot so I would put in 10 $5 chips.

So many times I only see people betting pot as a verbal bet when they have the nuts that it is so easy to exploit. And even use it as a reverse tell as a bluff if I hold a blocker to the nuts.

Repot.

Jetskis never were formally christened, maybe Saturday...

Bet pot, hoping for 30/60 guy to our left to call and David_O to repot.

Basic limit poker play. We want as much action as possible, so set up the guy in the middle to have to call a single bet before the likely raise comes in. If he were to David_O's left instead of our left, a check-raise would be the better play, so he calls David_O's bet first.

I don't love a smaller bet than pot here. It's not like we have a total lock or anything. Cards can still come that would leave us getting quartered. We want 30/60 to come along, but not cheaply. Moreover, we want to ship as much money as possible while we're in a freerolling position.

Hero checks, local checks, David O bets pot, Everyone calls. Pot is $192, effective stacks are $57

River: < :3h >

Hero bets $57 / all in. Local folds, David O calls but gets quartered by Hero's flush.

I agree that Hero should have bet the turn and maybe trap the third villain for the last $57 or perhaps David O's bet would drive the local to fold though that seems rather unlikely.

We also learned a lot about the local's lack of skill in this game. He was getting a terrible price to draw for half the pot. Calling the $12 flop was marginally ok, but calling the $48 turn bet likely wasn't a good idea at all.

Not local Villain's faults he wasn't getting there on his draws Doc! Scott (@Psypher1000) was purposefully dealing him good draws and then turn and river garbage all night, LOL!!!

For whatever's worth, I would have flatted David's flop re-pot also...

Just to confirm. David O was quartered on a naked 45 correct?

It was worth the pot bet for me and getting quartered to see how the local was playing. I and others used that info the rest of the night!
