Royal Flush Poker

www.celebpoker.com – With a hand of (Ah,2h,5c,Ad) we are seated in an Omaha hi/lo tournament and have the second largest stack at the table. After the action is folded around to our biggest stack at the table who is close to the button. He makes a pot sized raise, causing the next person to fold, along with the button player. We are in the small blind, but should we reraise in order to isolate out opponent?

Personally, I would not. this is because if a combination of cards comes down such as (4,5,6), (7,3,6) or any combination that gives me the nuts low, I would rather split three players chips two ways against the high hand.
The fact that we have a pair of aces in our hole cards here is good in some ways, as it gives us an outside chance of picking up the high half of the flop if my opponents do not hit the flop too well.

If another ace falls, then I increase my chances of the high half of the pot considerably, but mostly with this hand, my attention is on the low cards, and my potential heart draw. these are the two areas of my hand that are most likely to win me at least half the pot. The potential problem with reraising our big stacked raiser preflop is that if we miss the flop entirely with a flop such as (9s,Js,Qs) or something similar, we are in a very difficult position regardless of how strong our opponent may or may not be. In this instance, I have saved myself from being in a very difficult position.

With three players going to the flop, there is a better chance of splitting a reasonable pot I feel, and if the flop is unkind, I can still get away relatively unscathed. celebpoker.com
