A Bad Flop in Omaha Poker

"Okay, now, one thing to remember when you have a really strong hand pre-flop in Omaha, is you need to know how to let it go. Sometimes, you completely miss the flop, and in Omaha, if you completely miss the flop, you need to think about letting your hand go, especially if one or more of your opponents starts betting really heavily. Let's look at this situation. I've got a beautiful Omaha hand. I've got ace king, ace king. I've got aces and kings, double suited. But, here's my flop. Nine, eight, seven, with two clubs, and a spade. I'm drawing to virtually nothing here. I didn't hit the flop at all. This is almost the worst flop that could come for my hand. So, at this point, I might, if I'm the first to bet, I might lead out--bet half the pot and see what happens. If I get raised, I need to fold this hand. That's just how it is. As powerful and pretty as these cards look pre-flop, with this board they have nothing to work with. Let it go."
