Any good?  Does the fact that it's all suited make it less good?

[Enzyme_]

less good imo id prefer QT to be suited and the A3 to be another suit! tho the hand is still playable!

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

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!

[Graham C]

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.

A good bluffing hand if a flush comes though

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.
