Very early on (probably 2nd or 3rd hand) in a $10 9-person sit and go (couldn't be bothered to track down the HH):
I'm BB with Q  T  2 2  , a number of people limp in and it checks to me.
Flop comes A K  5 .
I check, it checks around, button puts in a small bet, and everyone calls.
Turn is the J .
I bet the pot, it folds around to the button, who goes all in.
So, what's the play here? I've got the nuts, but there's a low draw, a better flush draw, and of course someone could also draw to a full house.
I'm a donk at omaha hi/lo, though I've been doing okay lately. But these kind of decisions still puzzle me. Do you always unquestionably risk all of your chips with the nuts and hope not to get drawn out on?
What if he holds something like K K 4 3 ? |

| I would make the crying call. You currently have the best hand and realsitically should only be concerned with the identical straight with the K high flush draw here. There's a chance you'll scoop and you may get quartered, however, that early on, you'd still have chips to play with if you were quartered. You have to figure it's a race at that point. If it was later on in the tourney, without the backup of a low draw, I'd probably dump it. Sometimes it's worth gambling a little that early on. What happened? |

Well I was hoping more people would respond, but anyway I called and he had a set of 5s, turn was a J that made me the flush but made him a full house.
I'm not so concerned with the results as what's the correct play here? |

| With the board ak5j with two hearts, you have to call with nuts at the time and second nut flush draw. |

OK. That's all I wanted to know. |
