While i admit this is a wild situation, odds are there a reason, they determine THE MOST LIKELY outcome, but not THE OUTCOME. If i flop teh nutz and it has 25% chance of holding damn right ill pay to see it get broken
In Omaha, there are a lot of times where it is correct to fold the nuts. This is especially true in PLO8 where even flopping the nut straight only gets you half the pot (assuming it holds up). Obviously this topic has kind of broadened, but even if we were talking about hold em there are a few situations where you would fold the best hand at the moment if you knew what the other guy had.
For example, let's say I hold KQ clubs and the flop is TTJ with two clubs. My opponent has 22 and is in the lead, but I can catch any ace, nine, king, queen, jack, club, or the board can double pair to make me a better two pair and I can win the hand. This is a bit of a stretch, but you get my point. Under the right cirumstances, as rare as they are, it is sometimes correct to fold the winning hand when you are an underdog to win the hand.
To be honest i totally agree. And yes you should. But it seems the same arguement to me as folding KK preflop. Can you really do it?
dont get me wrong though, i take the arguement and i can see the odds.
