    This was posted yesterday but since fell off the edge of the earth. It got one reply, from someone who didn't read the question.

    The tournament in the Fitz on a Saturday night is a €15 rebuy pot limit holdem/omaha tournament. It is great fun to play. Everyone should play it. I can't remember the details of the hand perfectly, but I think I have most of it right. I was quite surprised when I checked out the hand matchup on twodimes.net. I'm leaving out names.

    At the final table, 8 left. Blinds 1000-2000. I have about 25000. The player in first position is a loose, aggressive, and experienced tournament player with 70000 in chips. He calls. I call in 3rd position with JJ77, one suit. Two other players call, with 12000 and 22000 respectively, and the small blind makes it 14000. He has been tight enough in Omaha, not raising many hands preflop. He has about 16000 behind.

    Big blind folds and the first player reraises, setting everybody all in. I call.

    Correct?

    I'd be leaning towards a fold here I think. The pot is going to be very big by the time all the pre-flop shenanigans are over but JJ77 is not a monster hand considering it's probably up against AAxx and at least 1 other premium hand. With a double-pair hand in Omaha you're 25% (afair) to hit a set by the river but in a multiway pot this might not be enough.
    The only thing that would push me towards getting all in would be if your hands was something like Jh7hJs7s. You've only 2000 invested in the pot and ~10BB left so there's still enough play left in the game to fold this. Plus you might move up a couple of money spots after this hand if people are knocked out.

    I will have enough chips to play at least one more hand if I fold, certainly. But what range of hands do you put my two committed opponents on, and how do you think I do against that range of hands? You should know I am more like 40% to make a set by the river, probably it is 25% on the flop. I won't give results just yet.

    knowing this tournament I'd put your "committed" opponents on a range of hands that start with 2222 and ends with AAJTds. I like your call here. You are probably not dominated by either of your opponents (although I would be slightly worried as it is quite likely with two players all-in that at least one of your jacks is dead, jacks often feature quite prominently in the range of hands that omaha players consider worth sticking your tank in with). win this pot and you are chip leader, and considering the standard of play in this tournament that should be enough to win it (considering that you are an above-average omaha player).
