Quads, as we all know, is a great hand, even in Omaha, a game governed by great hands.Let's take a look at why I bet them like I had only a pair.
I've got 10♠ - 10♦ - K♠ - A♦ in the cutoff position in a six-handed, .10/.25 game on PokerStars.
A player second to act raises to .75. I doubt my 10s are good here, but I've definitely got a hand worth calling a raise, especially in position. So I call. The blinds both call and we're off to a flop.
The flop comes K♦ - 10♣ - 7♠.
Well, I'm happy with that. I've got a set. I'm also glad I've got position, as it's somewhat of a trouble hand. And when the original raiser bets the pot after both blinds check, I've got a decision.
I'm definitely calling here, but do I want to raise? The board calls for raising, and I consider it. But I'm feeling a little nitty. Something tells me I could be against another set here, which is crazy thinking in Holdem but thinking that could save you money in Omaha. So I decide to control the pot and just call. The blinds fold and we're heads up.
The turn brings the 10♥. Holy cow. Sweet! I knew I should have raised.
My opponent checks. Rats. The pot is $9. I've got $35 in front of me, and he has about the same. I was honestly hoping that he had a set of Kings. Maybe he's trying to check raise me here or he's afraid of the board pairing.
In Holdem slow-playing quads is almost always a good way to go, especially if you're playing No Limit. But I'm going to bet here for a few reasons:
• This is a Pot-Limit Game - You always want to build the pot in a Pot-Limit game since how much you can bet depends on how much is in the pot. That's a simple concept, yet players regularly leave chips by their side with "crafty" checks.
• This is Omaha - The chances your opponent will call a bet is much greater in Omaha because the chances are much higher that they've got some kind of a hand by the turn.
• Playing straightforward, at times, can be the craftiest play of all - If you're a frequent bettor, it's actually harder for an opponent to know exactly what you've got when you bet. A check here would seem suspicious in my mind, but who on Earth would bet quads?
So I bet the pot. Half the amount seems like I'm begging for a call. I bet the full pot and he calls.
The river's easy. I bet the full pot. You can bet whatever you think your opponent will call on the river, and that could mean a small value bet, a bet that's half the size of the pot or the full pot.
I bet the full pot, and that's because I think he has a full house too, and I'm laying a cooler on him. Sure enough, he pauses, then calls with sevens full of tens. I show him my quads, grin and take a huge pot.
Ironically, quads are even a better hand to bet than a flopped full house, especially if you turn them, as the card that gave you your quads may have just given your opponent a full house, and full houses in any game, even Omaha, are hard to fold.
