Omaha Hand

Glowingmind

Still trying to figure this omaha dealy out, so any advice comments would be appreciated.

Haven't got the hand history so i may be a little off.

.25/.50
I'm the BB with $50

Dealt AdAsTdJc

UTG pots it, 3 callers, i repot it (this ok?)

Button pots it putting me all in.

No reads on anyone as i've just sat down.

Always a call?

Don't have the exact figure but it was about 39 for me to call.

smoothcall

presumably a joke, you got AAJ10 ALL in

Repopping is always the right thing to do and it's an instant call now.

Always be happy if you can get it in with AAxx preflop, especially HU

I usually dont reraise AAxx OOP unless im getting 70% of my stack in but yeh its an absolute instacall now.

Insta call. I saw someone shove with 222A at low stakes one time!

If i'm reading this right you're getting about 20 in pre with 30 behind if only called. This seems perfect to me. As rule of thumb if you can get 33% or more in with a reraise I'll generally go for it, unless I'm really short stacked or really deep

All in, the only way your hand could be better is if it was double suited.

Because the button only called the first raise, I'd expect them to have some kind of rundown hand like 5678 which they're happy to play heads-up against your aces.

I dont really undersatand your maths here. Are you talking about the hand above? If so the original raise is $2.25. I prefer to just call this rather than make it $12 and play the pot OOP. If Im on the button / C/O I repot with AA10J all the live long day.

A bit of advice someone gave me is that it's rarely a good idea to raise out of the blinds in Omaha no matter how strong your hand is, unless you're getting a substantial portion of your stack in (as in close to 50%). Everyone will know (roughly) what you have, while you will have no clue what they have, and will be first to act.

In this case it didn't matter because the button has obligingly given you your best case scenario by repotting it. After that the hand plays itself and your position doesn't matter.

With a pot and a few callers playing online I would always repot in this situation. If it was a different, totally uncoordinated AAxx hand I might not (but usually would). Live I play it somewhat differently as games tend to be deeper and looser preflop.

lol if the ace wasn't suited

Glowingmind

Thanks for the responses guys.

I know it's a pretty obvious one, but as a total beginner with omaha i still base my play off stuff i've read rather than experience, and given how often you're not that huge a favourite, it sometimes make me reluctant to get all my money in with hands like that.

The hand itself, there's only a few hands that i'm behind, but the little voice in the back of my head was telling me that i should have just called the original raise and played the flop.

My mistake I thought he said he made it 3 and got 3 callers - obviously it was 1.75 with 3 callers which means he can still pop it to about €10. Personally I still think i'd pop it here, and jam a non scary board.

I would re-raise a hand as strong as AAJTss a lot here, for value if nothing else, and the chance that someone makes a big mistake. This is the snappiest of snapcalls

As everyone else has said it's an insta call. Just be aware that you won't be a massive equity favourite if it's 3-way, or even HU when Villain has something like 6789ds. It's not like AA vs KK aipf like holdem unfortunately.
