    Default Need help with Omaha!

    Hi guys, I started of playing Hold’em and then moved to Omaha H/L. I love H/L great for tourneys, the fastest way to build your play chip money but horrible for low limit cash games. The frustration of the split, rake, lose got the better of me so I’ve stared playing Omaha straight.
    I got tangled up in a hand last night which left me confused. Flushes are not in the equation, playing PL
    Other player (Button) raise pot I call
    Flop comes A 2 K
    I have trip K’s, other player has 3345
    I check, he bets pot, I raise pot, he calls
    Turn 7
    He checks, I bet pot, he raises all in, I call
    River 9
    I drag pot

    I would consider the other player to be a reasonably tight player but his all-in seemed like a bit off a donk bet at the time so my question is how strong is trips against his hand? I have no idea of the pot odds for Omaha and if anybody has any links that could help me understand this game I would greatly appreciate any help.

    He was probably trying to take the pot right down there without a call. However he had a good drawing hand with 14 OUTS. Almost 1/4 of the deck or 25% to make the low str8. Any of the 3 aces,3 2,s, 3 4,s, 3 5,s or 2 3,s will make his st8.It was a reasonable semi bluff.

    THere's a couple of good books for PLO but I forget the name of them offhand.
    Anyone know the names of some good PLO books? I've been considering playing more of it and alot of the tournaments I'd like to be playing these days have mixed games (ie. PotLimit HA), including the MiniFTOPS series coming up on Fulltilt again soon (couple mos. to get practised up).

    As far as calculating odds in Omaha.... yah.. not always the easiest is it.
    Here's an odds calculator that works for most games (including PLO)...
