If someone 2nd to act raised the pot (another 800 for me to call) would you call?  It's the later stages of an mtt, 17 left I believe.

I folded btw, it's not going anywhere, but I'm not really a big omaha player.  I've only played a few times but I really like it Smiley

Fold it.  Monotone hands are weak as you've naturally got no pairs and are drawing to a single flush, for which you're holding two of your 'outs'.

There's some value in the high cards in this hand but the 3 'dangler' weakens it somewhat.  Its not coordinated enough to play to an early raiser.

Good fold.

PS: Just wait till you get dealt AAAA - I guarantee you'll want to play it, or show it to someone, but its about as bad a hand as it gets.  100% ahead preflop, 100% guaranteed not to improve!

Cheers guys.

I have trip aces before and called the bb, folded on the flop.   I've had quite a few trips actually, no 4 of a kind yet though I don't think.

I got that once, I played it just to play it, I just bet it really heavy as I had a huge chip lead, Took the pot then showed, All of a sudden the chat box goes mental with half the table calling names and the other half piss taking.

Whole table never respected a bet from me after that, got paid for the nuts everytime. Grin

A good bluffing hand if a flush comes though Cheesy

playing live once the guy next to me showed me his 5 card omaha hand, it was AAAA5d he chucked it to a raise and of course the board would have made him the nut flush.

I would have folded your hand graham.
