Flopping the best hand in Omaha is a two edged sword, there are just SO many draws out there that is hard to play. Can't tell you how many times I flop the nut straight with two to a flush on the board and someone chasing the low makes a 6 high flush as well.

thats the beauty of the game... you could flop the nuts and be a underdog in the hand.

But you still have have to make them pay to ge their draw. Like I said, you have a made hand, he doesn't. You can still improve, he is hoping to catch a straight.

Putting the last two replies together brings up to an interesting point about Omaha. First we see we can flop the nuts and still be a dog, second we agree (at least I thought I did) that you must make someone pay for thier draw. Well, you never let someone draw for free, but you also shouldn't be betting/raising as an underdog in a hand either? <confusion sets in>
