Sure you have the pocket aces and the 9-j suited. but he also has a pocket pair (albeit small) and a nut flush possibility. I personally quite like seeing a flop with a hand like that. Although in a cash game he ofcourse never would have called your pre-flop bet. In tournament play I quite like it. you did nothing wrong though but, like you said. reraising pocket aces...(especially without a nutflush draw) will get you into all sorts of bother in Omaha.

If you get it in preflop its fine. Agreed in a deeper game you really are in a tought spot on most flops. Title: Re: am i right to hand out torrents of abuse? omaha- i hate it Post by: I, Zimbra on July 26, 2006, 03:07:40 PM There's a saying, something like - "with AAxx you're a favourite against any other non- AA hand in Omaha, preflop"- but albeit probably only a slight favourite (e.g. 55% or so) rather than the monster 80%+ favourite that AA is against any other hand in Hold'Em.
So getting it all-in preflop is definitely the right move, but you also have to realise that there's no way he's going to pass for almost 3-1 odds, so you're just going to have to accept that you have the better end of a coinflip prospect and sweat it out.

Thought I'd just say that you are 63.09% to win this hand. Not great odds, but you're ahead.
