This was a bit of a silly experiment.

I'm representing the nut flush and it doesn't look like anyone else has that or even a set. A lot of players to bluff though and it is Omaha so there are more cards for someone to find an excuse to play on. It's not like I have any decent outs too. I'm prolly bluffing the river too if called and checked to.

This was fun, considering how rubbish my hand is. Probably not a good play though. Maybe the semi-bluff is a big thing in Omaha; fold equity plus a lot of outs. Maybe that is the best way to learn about bluffing in this game.
