| I wanted to find out how big of a Donk I am. Playing .25/.50 PLO, I called a raise of 3X BB with small pair and two big suited cards. The player that made the raise was in a lot of hands. One other person called. I flopped middle set with a flush draw. It was a small board. I bet 2/3 of the pot and was immediately raise by original raiser. Other guy folded. My analysis was an overpair and a reraise would get my opponent to fold, which I did. He called with a straight and a bigger flush draw. I got lucky and caught quads. How bad was I? |

Middle set is not as strong of a hand in Omaha as it is in Hold'em, especially with a possible straight already on the board. Also, you do not want to play your flush draws fast if they're not the nut flush.
Even if you think your opponent is someone that will overplay big pairs post flop, when he reraises your probably looking at AA with the nut flush draw, or a big pair with connectors that just hit the straight. In either case your set is really a full house draw. (Assuming your opponent isn't a complete maniac). |

The fastest way to learn is to read the Pot Limit Omaha section of Super System 2. |

| If you gave specific hands, we could better evaluate. |

Stack sizes please!!
When analyzing PLO, stack size information is crucial. It's possible given a particular hand and betting information (so far) that your correct decision may be raise, call, or fold, depending only on stack sizes.
Also, if the flop has a possible straight, your opponent reraises you, and your "analysis was an overpair"... Either you have a strong read that your opponent is a donkey, or you need to work on your hand-reading skills, or both. The problem is, even if your opponent is a donkey, even donkeys sometimes flop the nuts in Omaha. |

Before anybody protests, note that I'm not saying that a reraise in that situation with an overpair is necessarily a donkey move.
However, a good Omaha player (a "non-donkey") will reraise there with an overpair infrequently enough that you should usually give him credit for a much better hand. |

| how do you actually post the hand history? I'm sure there is a thread somewhere that tells you how to do it? |
