I was playing 2/4 Limit Omaha Hi/Lo today at Full Tilt Poker when this hand transpired. Holding a good H/L hand I entered the pot for a discount in the small blind. I them proceeded to flop trip aces and a nice low draw. The turn gave me the Nuts for the high pot and a good low to go along with it. Tonky77 and I capped the betting on the turn and river when I held the virtual nuts. I ended up scooping the pot as he was raising with a decent high and no low. Tonky77 put a good portion of his stack in the pot with his only hope being to win half the pot and his investment back. The only time you should be re-raising in Omaha H/L is when you either have a strong high and low hand or your holding a Nut high. Never put a lot of money in the pot with the nut low heads up or 3 handed as there is a good chance that you will get a quarter of the pot by facing your opponents high hand and identical low to yours. This is why playing solid poker and being patient can be very profitable online. This ended up being an $80 pot that was built up by an inexperienced player. What are your opinions of the players online and the experience of the players there?
