Hand of the Week -- Cash Game - Omaha
Heres a hand from a couple days ago. I'm in a very loose Omaha/8 game. Yeah ---- its THAT game. Some of you know about THAT game.
In the BB, and pick up Ac 4c 7h 7d. Not a great hand, but theres a raise (means nothing in this game) and several callers. I call.
Flop is 7 2 2. Wow. SB (uber-loosey) bets out and I call (??) I think this is a "pull", not a "push" situation. Three other callers.
Turn is a 3. ZOUNDS !!!! Nut low and nut high. Pesky SB again leads and I call. ???? I'm thinking that I want callers. My image is so tight in this game that a raise will scare loose callers off.
River is a K. SB (finally) checks and I bet. Three callers.
So -- what do you think. A reasonable case could be made for; folding the raise pre-flop, raising on the Flop, raising the Turn, and even going for the check raise on the River. Those of you who think I played it wrong on EVERY street will not hurt my feelings.
Results to be posted later.

I like the result of the hand, after all you got a lot of callers, but (you know me...) I advocate a little more agression. I think on the flop, raising is a little more appropriate, due to the two babies on board. Charge the low draws more and in a game that loose, the nut flush draw is probably not going anywhere for one more small bet. AND if it is the nut flush youre up against, he probably also has a low draw to go with it. On the turn you hit your gin card. Since someone bet into you again, and you have position, its a good time to raise. Maybe its just me, but in limit games, if you have the nuts or close to it, usually the best time to ram and jam is the turn. By the way, this post is coming from a Japanese airport, Im coming home boys!
RESULTS:
River card a (tame looking) K. SB checks, I bet, early limper calls, late caller folds, and SB calls.
Early limper (sleazylawyer- thats ONE word, you know) shows K K and a bad low. We split the pot. I think a Turn raise gets him out and possibly folds the late caller, but I then win the whole pot.
