We're continuing with our sample hand of pot limit Omaha. And, the funny thing about this table is, it?s mostly timid players. But after it was checked around to me with my strait draw and my flush draw, I decided I'm going to bet the pot. What does that mean? Well at this time, there are eight total chips in the pot, as you can see. So betting the pot means putting in eight more chips. We'll say the blue is worth 5 chips. Add three whites to that, that's eight chips. I say pot. That's technically betting the pot. So to stay in everybody has to match, they have to put in eight chips. The funny thing about this table is we're all passive players, so everybody calls. We're what are called weak passive players. Everybody calls; we have this looseness to us, but not really aggressiveness. So we burn a card, and we see the turn. And then for some reason it goes check, check, check, check. We've all sort of backed away from the hand. So we burn another card, and what comes next? The river and again, everybody checks.
