"Now let's look now at a flop for what is a very good starting hand for Omaha. Starting hand of ace, ace, king jack, and we're double suited. We've got ace of hearts, king of hearts, ace of spades, jack of spades. There's probably been some pretty good betting before the flop, and then this flop comes out. Ace, five, six. And the six and the five are suited in diamonds. Now here's what is interesting about this flop. I have hit a set of aces, three aces, and at this time I have the nuts for the hand--I have the best possible hand at this time. But here's my problem: I don't have any draws. The suite that came out, the two diamonds, does not connect for the suites that I have--I have hearts and I have spades. And, I have all high cards, which means that I cannot, at this time, draw to a straight. I've no potential straight. The very best hand I can get at this time--well, there's two of them. I can get a Full House if another five or another six comes, or I can get Four Aces if that last ace comes out. But I don't have a lot of draws, and Omaha is a drawing game. Probably my opponents are drawing to something on this board, so what do I want to do? I want to bet the pot."
