[Omaha] Shove or fold?

edited September 2011 in The Poker Clinic
This is the second or third hand in a 6-handed MTT. I don't have specific reads, but based on having played many of these I know that my shove will be called every time.

    SHOVE - against 99 % of opponents... should be so live... coolers happen if flush draw dead... nice hand post :)

    Yeah, get this in, your pretty huge. The only hand you really dont want to see is AAxx with spades but, thats a mega cooler.

    YoungGun, never forget the fact you have an overpair to draw to an overset vs bare QQxx and TTxx... makes a pretty big difference in the long run

    Thanks for all your feedback. I shoved and lost when a flopped set filled (KdThTc8c) up on the turn. When I put the hand into an odds calculator I only had 42% equity, so I wasn't sure if this is a spot where I will be behind against most of the range that would call a shove this early.

    Studied there (miserably) for 5 years. If you ever went to Rileys the snooker club, you will have met me. I was the one with the big ears.

    Your calculation of equity is fairly accruate (I got 43%), but you are been results orientated. Villain has a king, which is not good for us, and villains range includes more than just middle set. I did a quick odds calculation with all combos of QTxx and your a good favourite, more so if they have QT combos which do not hold spades or straight blockers. With some dead money in the pot, this is fine to get in and look to accumulate chips early on in and omaha tournament (which is a huge advantage, much moreso than in holdem)
