Default what to do?

How do you play it in Omaha Hi if you flop a set of aces on a mono color board and you don't have the flush.

Assume you raised or reraised pre flop.

How to handle it IP or OOP?

They either have the flush or they don't no drawing here.

I guess IP, if checked to, you can either take free card and hope for boat, or put a bet out there at the risk of getting check raised.

There's a lot of factors.

Personally, and I don't know how correct this is, but in a multi-way pot I'm just going to hope to check it through, try to see a card cheaply and keep lots of people in.

Heads up IP, if checked to me, I will sometimes take a free card if the board is spread enough that I'm not letting him draw to a straight for free and the villian has been check-raisey. Otherwise, I'm going to bet because if he doesn't have a flush the board is just as scary for him as for me and I like to take the lead.

OOP if I think he's going to bet if I check I'll check-raise because that's the line I'd take if I had a flush. If he calls or raises I'm beat. If I check call I'm showng my hand. I never want them to be able to guess my hand. If I bet and he calls... why would he call? Underset? He's going to fold or raise most likely. Unless he's weak and he won't bet without the flush god love him.

Ok I'm new to PLO and haven't got much experience but this is what I would do.

IP HU I would bet out if checked to me almost 100% of the time. Either he has the flush or he doesn't. I think a lot of the time this will pick up the pot then and there and you won't need to make any tough decisions on later streets. If he has the flush more times than not he is going to check raise you and you can give it up relatively cheaply. If he calls you can always hope to make a boat, ha ha.

OOP HU I would spew on my keyboard then check to him. I really hate playing pots oop especially on scary boards. Next please.

Multiway pots I would never bet IP or OOP and hope to check it down.

If facing a bet on a flushy board I would float the flop and reassess on the turn.
