4-cards a calling station and a headache
OK omaha question. This opponent a clear calling station, he called my FH bet on the river previously with AK high.
so what do you guys think of this.
Ok should usually be a simple fold but not sure if im given the price to chace the board pair, which obviously didnt come.
so what do you guys think of this.

i think you ansered your own question mate.
his all in on the turn was only another 352 chips!!!
if that all in was for your whole stack easy fold...........
not sure what the odds are of the villain having 2 diamonds there but it must be quite good..
Yours is weak to marginal so you do not want to be raising big preflop.These hands need to be treated with care.Big PP are overrated and overplayed in omaha.With these type of hands you get and cheap and reevaluate on the flop.
The flop gives you the third nuts with not a lot of redraw potential on a very coordinated board.At this point when you should be wary you decide to c-bet and pot commit your opponent.
The turn completes the draws available and when your opponent bets out you should be very scared indeed. But you are being offered odds of just over 4 to 1 and you are about 4 to 1 to win so you have to call.
The only bit of your play that was good was the call on the turn.Preflop and flop was bad.Remember that also you are up against multiple hands with your opponent. To give you an example with this hand if your opponent is holding AxAxQdJd then you are behind and drawing totally dead on the flop which you liked so much.
Rule 1 of omaha is do not overplay big pocket pairs because they miss a lot and even if they hit they are very vulnerable to redraws.
From the purely technical side then AAKK ds is the best but preflop against 89TJ ds(other 2 suits) is only between 60-65% favourite.
Omaha is a game where favourite hands come more into play and player dependant on wether you prefer to play made hands or drawing hands,though a good player will do both.For me if i had to choose a starting hand it would be TJQK ds.
