cooler or not cooler?

[b112895]

so, i often wonder if its possible to make the big laydowns
example 1
this is in pl omaha high
my hand
77xx
his hand
99xx

flop 752
i bet 3$ he called
(my table image is very loose at this point)
turn 2
i bet 6$ he called
river 9
i bet 12$ he moves all in for 40 more

without his extra 40 the pot has about 40 dollars in it, so im getting about 2 to 1

but the sickest thing is, i knew what he had before i called it, but i still called anyways, i think this was a cooler, because i think he could have had fives full or maybe even 25


example 2

my hand
1010kjsingle suited

his hand aaxx

pre flop

i raise pot
he reraises pot
(i had an idea he had aces)
flop jja
i raised half pot
he goes all in
i call even tho i know im beat
this one might have been my fault, it was just tough
cooler or not?

i think in omaha it would be easier to get away from than in holdem....but once you get so invested its hard to fold either way

Trust your gut. If you think you are beat then you probably are.

Omaha has a high variance poker game, my bankroll suffered the most at PLO games.

First one standard bull cooler, second pretty clear fold anytime after the flop especially if you have a feeling he has aces and he has done nothing to sway you otherwise

[IamStuUnger]

yea gotta agree with 2more on this honestly

omadraw is not your game pal, see lots of flops but play tight post flop, i pretty much muck it if i dont have the nuts, anything but top set is never good, nothing but the nut flush will do, and if u have a str8 or a flush and the board pairs, just dump it

omaha has too many variables 4 me -

In the first hand I would say even though I don't think he shoves with anything but 9s or quads , your calling every time. In the 2nd hand , it really depends on stack sizes and the guys image , but it looked like you could of got away from it.
