DBBP: 8-handed, Omaha Hi, $10 Ante

well played .. I wouldn't even like calling a pot bet on flop w/ these non nutted-draws

also a thought on stacks, not sure if you always play that stack size, but 30bb stack on bomb pot is rough , it might not be profitable to play at this stack size. You are going to be folding a lot and need a bigger stack to get paid when you hit.

Even if you only post in one section, make sure to take the time to read the Omaha sub-forum in "all threads mode" because the bolded part of your question was answered yesterday in the [high] section. You do not lead from early or middle position on the flop in DBBP. You use a check-raising strategy instead to help overcome your huge positional disadvantage in DBBP. Therefore, the check out of position on the flop was correct.

Also a 30bb stack in DBBP might be impossible to win because of the rake. You never win a pot preflop because the is no preflop in DBBP. And anyone that plays Omaha high low know that the rake in split pot games is out of touch with reality of the game type.

Just because he has $300 and the ante is $10 doesn't mean he's 30bb deep. Whether a game is beatable depends on whether % edge vs opponents/ average pot size is greater than average rake/ average pot size.

Also, just because split pots are much more common in double board games, doesn't necessarily mean you pay more rake as percent of expected profits.

Same concept: Running it twice makes it more likely that rake will exceed profits in a specific hand, but it doesn't change the long-term expected rake you pay.

(If you have a 10% edge in regular PLO and a 10% edge in DBBP PLO, you will split more pots in DBBP, but still pay the same expected rake in the long-run).

Check fold flop.
