Of course, the classicest of all Omaha moves is to get all your chips in when you’re ahead, and that’s what I did. The thing is, in this particular hand, the other guy thought he was ahead instead, but he was wrong. All he had was the nuts on the flop, which was worthless.
I had 8c 9h Kh Jc. The flop came Ts 6d Qc. It might take a little while to decode it all, but the fact was, most of the deck gives me the nuts or the second nut. And I had the back-door draw to the second nut flush too. I hit a dream flop. The problem was, so did the other guy. He had a set of queens (6c Qh 4d Qs), and he was sure that I was crazy to keep re-raising him until we both got all in on the flop. He didn’t know it, but I was 58% to win.
The seven came on the turn and gave me the nut straight, and he didn’t boat up. He yelled at me for about five minutes afterwards. He still didn’t know, even after it all happened, that when the chips went in, I was ahead. He had the nuts!
The funny thing is, I was ahead of him pre-flop too, by six percent.
