Omaha Fish

Playing in a very loose Omaha/8 game and pick up AAKQ in middle position.

A couple of callers to me and I raise to try to thin the field. Want to scoop this pot and don't want any "accidental" lows. One late postion cold caller and the early limpers call.

Four of us see a flop of J 9 4. this is better than most flops for this hand. I bet and get one caller -- the guy in late position.

Turn is a T. I bet (maintaining the lie) and he calls again.

River is an A. Hey, I spiked trips. Theres a lot of worse hands that he'll call with so I bet again. This time he raises -- yow. Hope he doesn't have K Q for a straight, but I call and roll my cards over.

Whoops ! I have the K Q for a straight. Its the hand I was afraid of. I just called a raise with the nuts. "Nice hand sir, well played."

Always look around the table very carefully. If you can't spot who the sucker is in the game -- then its you.
