[UK Poker Info] Basic Omaha Strategy: In addition, you will get more action when you do hit a great hand on the flop, since betting-out does not necessarily mean you hold anything substantial. Basically, you should never slow play any hand when you hit your hand hard on the flop, especially because giving free cards in Omaha comes with a much higher risk than it does in Hold’em.
[Badbeatboy's] Poker glossary: If you have Tc-8c and the flop comes Qd-Jd-9s, you almost assuredly have the best hand. However, a turn card of Td would be very scary because it would almost guarantee that you are now beaten.
[The Shark Tank] Finally! I advance to Day Two of WSOP Event #12.: I figure he wants to isolate me and price the big blind out, so I four bet him which he caps (five bets is the cap here). The flop comes down AK5 and when he bets, I raise.

I made it $50 feeling pretty sure to have ruined his odds and he folded as I would expect.

[War Room Poker] Some poker concepts: It could mean he has the goods, of course, but it could also mean Villain puts Hero on two overcards and he is trying to protect a small pair... Which, considering Heros betting pattern might make it logical.
[Texas Holdem Poker Blog] Poker Hand Glossary: For instance, both players have a pair of aces, but one player has a king as a second down card, and the other player has a 7. There are no kings or sevens on the board, so the player with the aces and king wins, as he/she has the higher kicker.
