First hand at the table, stats aren't loaded yet.

I think check/folding the river is fine here since the T is so horrible. However this spot does come up a lot and I'm not sure if folding is always the best solution. How would you play the following river cards given that the player is unknown:

6
T

?

PL Omaha $0.50(BB) Replayer
SB ($50)
Hero ($50)
UTG ($51.90)
UTG+1 ($50)
CO ($93.40)
BTN ($41.06)

Dealt to Hero 9 K 4 J

UTG raises to $1.75, fold, fold, fold, fold, Hero calls $1.25

FLOP ($3.75) 9 K 4

Hero checks, UTG bets $0.50, Hero raises to $4, UTG calls $3.50

TURN ($11.75) 9 K 4 2

Hero bets $8, UTG calls $8

RIVER ($27.75) 9 K 4 2 T

Hero checks, UTG bets $13.25, Hero folds

UTG wins $26.50

Is this standard to call an UTG with this hand? Seems like you get yourself in a lot of RIO situations given your draws wont really be the nuts.

True but its a single raised pot so it doesn't havee to be as nutty. It's still a double suited connected hand.

WP IMO. T completes almost everything in his range and I don't think he'd be turning a straight into a bluff (although it would be sick if he did!). Also, seeing as you have three pair OTF, there's not much in his calling range that isn't a SD or FD, if not both.

As for the 6, I'd probably X/F any heart OTR because IMO he's more likely to have FDs than SDs on a two tone flop, and like I said earlier, I don't think he'll turn a straight into a bluff.

I would X/C the T. Not much you're going to be getting value out of, and his betting range is much wider than his calling range OTR.

I'd also say this is a fold pre-flop when you're OOP, particularly against a UTG range. I would not describe this as a "connected hand" - your three high cards have gaps and you have a dangler. Also none of your FDs are to the nuts.

Contrary to what you say about draws in a single raised pot not needing to be as nutty, I think this is fundamentally wrong. The lower the SPR post-flop, the less nutty your draws need to be. When the stack to pot ratio is high (or when deeper - same concept) your draws DO need to be nutty.

Post-flop, your play looks fine but I think the pre-flop play will often get you into trouble.

Also none of your FDs are to the nuts.

I don't really mind that the FDs aren't to the nuts I can see that the hand could use some more connectedness.

Yeah, I meant to say a HU pot.
