2 things i'll say,
firstly your hand ain't that good, most folks overplay aces in omaha and it can be VERY costly.
Secondly raising in omaha should really be to add value to a pot and not to push people out.
At least one of your aces needs to be suited for you to be raising, i'd see the flop and go from there (small raise only)
You actually, by forcing folks out, probably lost yourself a decent side pot but who knows?
Believe me i ain't no world champ omaha player but i am in profit
You should always remember you have 6 hands there and ace 8 off suit is not a very good hand in this game.

if you read the hand again you will see the orginal raise was the very short stack

so the rerereraise was to drive out one player who had called twice

i was trying to drive him out and get heads up with shorty

if he had called i would have been HU for the side pot

even in omaha AA is a big hand HU

If you think about what i said you'll see my point about a side pot.

[Ironside]

if i let the person in there wont be a side pot as unless i flop an ace i cant really bet out
