running sickly bad in omaha

[esmordan]

OK so rescently i have been grinding it out on FTP playing thier omaha tournies. I have nothing to really complain about b/c i have been cashing but as soon as i make the money i i tend to bust. In 2 rescent tournies... the daily 10+1 REBUY i didn't rebuy once and had just made the money as one of the top 3 and ran into these 3 hands.

1. I have 7h8h2d3s in the BB with no raises one caller and the SB cam along.

Flop 6h 10s 2d....i have about 65k sb has 20k limper has 32k....and it checks around

Turn is the 9h limper checks and the SB bets pot....i now have the Nuts with a redraw to a straight flush....so i repot putting hiom all in....the limper folds and the guy snap calls....i am thinging 78 as well,,,,no he shoves his 99K5 with nop hearts and

River 10d filling his boat and i double him up

Hand 2

I have 4d 5s6d7s in the sb i now have about 45k left

Guy limps next guy 3 bets and i call limper calls BB folds

Flop Ah 2d 9s

A terrible flop for my hand but it checks around

Turn 3d...Again i trun the NUTS with a redraw to a straight flush

Limper check guy pots i repot him all in.....again he had about 20k to styart the hand...And he flips over AAxx with no dimonds
And again River 3s

So now i am at about 25k

Hand 3...this hand i might have been about to fold but tough
I have AsKdQsJd....Guy lips next guy pots it i call from button...other guy smooth calls.....thay both had me cover with 37kish

Flop AdKh 5d...so i flop top 2 thew nut flush draw and a gutshot....so i lead out for pot...and commit myself to this hand next guy shoves and the guy behind thinks for awile and calls.....i am vs AA and KK....both one outers hit
Of corse you know it falls brick brick and thats my exit

So today i am playing in a 10+1 reg tourny omaha....i am running well in the top 6 or so with about 11 left
I get delt AsKskd x......guy with about the same stack size of 42k pots it to 3.5k and i call everyone else folds.....flop Kh 8c9c and he pots it for 10k...i repot all in and he SNAP calls me...i am thinging straight and flush draws i gott dodge outs

No i am way ahead on his AhKd8s8h....turn falls 9 so now he has a one outer....and we all know the rest he hits the 1 outer 8d on river

I can't complain i am doing well playing well making it in the money but we all know i want one of those top 2 spots.....all i can do is keep getting my money in with the best hand

Gl all on the tables

well hand 3 you should of checked the flop. given one of them raised pot preflop tells me he has A's or K's. that being said you know he has hit his seat. he is going to beat pot. so at that point you need to decide if its worth gambling since you have the str8 and nut flush draw. with putting him on ace's your about a 42/58 underdog. so witht hat being said do you want to gamble or rather wait for a better spot. i tired right now so if it doesnt make since here is the odds calculator for you to look at. i just put 2 random cards in for the guys other 2 hole cards since you never said what they were.

even tho they both hit their 1 outers, you were not that far behind either one of them...my guess is the guy that thought about calling preflop had the KKxx, and he still made an ok call...on the flop you were about a 40% dog....not in too bad of shape, guy with KK is dead...seeing as you hold his last remaining shot at beating trip aces...so think about it this way...your getting just over 2.5 times your money and your almost even...almost you made the right play but i think it could have been folded preflop, think about if you folded preflop, AA and KK both hit sets, one of them is going home in this hand and you move up the money!

can i fold AKQJ double suited from the button???

the more and more i think about the hand i can justify the call knowing your the underdog with a huge draw. i mean you hit and the board doesnt pair you tripled up and have lots chips and probly take this down.
