We obviously don't have many omaha experts........
As i say his play threw me a bit and i took a lot of my timebank to make my decision, flat call preflop and a checkraise on the flop means either a monster or nothing at all.
The more i thought the more i convinced myself i was behind but my flush draw was good :)
Maybe a bit fishy but i eventually called.......

ifmcf: calls 4450
RANDYPLAYSAK said, "jc"

Seems to me like Randy misplayed his hand and also got unlucky with the cards.

ifmcf attacks the blinds with  4c 4s  4h 5h  gets checked to, flops a weak flush draw, so semi bluffs at it, gets raises but has to call as the pot is large in comparision with the amount to call.

I think this is a mistake by Randy by not just re-raising pre flop with AA or betting out the flo with the hand.

It is also a mistake on ifmcf's part by choosing to attacking the blinds with such a trap hand.

As far as the hand went down as soon as ifmcf raise pre flop, played it perfect.
