Committing your stack with nothing more than a starting "Pair" is pretty suicidal in monetary terms in Omaha.
There are not many ways a hand like this is going to improve on the flop, turn or the river imo and a pair of aces is just not good enough in Omaha to be shoving all-in.
If you are insinuating that this hand is "BINGO" play? then, your actions in this hand resulted in the outcome.
AA with danglers is the most common badly played hand in Omaha, Tikay would give solid advice on this hand, why not cross post it on Ask Tikay thread?
His starting 4 are better than yours, he has double flush possibilities and Straight possibilities while your starting hand has one nut flush opportunity and set mining outs, thats all, the AA is never going to win this hand.
Quadfather plays the hand best, raises then gets out when he sees the mayhem ensue.
As played if his 6 hearts was an 8 of hearts i would be happy to put it in against you watching how you played the hand.
Also AA is not always the best hand as often enough you could both have aces and and you 9 7 doesnt play to well.
More skill in omaha and this hand is played like a holdem game play through the streets you will find you will save losing full buyins on marginal fav hands
How not to play Bad Aces | Omaha Poker
Another spectrum of how you should not play aces is when you have a really shi**y hand, with aces in them. Let’s take the worst kind of “ace” hand for example; AcAs7h2d, it is unsuited, and has no valued side cards whatsoever. Ok, you can make a straight with A2-345, but that is IT. The only other thing you can hit is an Ace, but usually the board is still scary, especially when you reach a non-board pairing turn. And perhaps a board like 22x or 77x can make you happy, but still, almost no chance on a full house, since you have a pair in your hand. And even if you hit another 7 of 2, you don’t really have a very good full do you? So what are you doing with such a hand? Just throw it away, not always, mind you, but I think that even if you always throw this kind of hand in the bin, you will not lose money on it, in fact, you will win money.
The only possible situation you want to encounter is when you can push near all-in preflop in a heads up scenario, and even then you are not really a big favorite, except against non-premium Kings. And think about the rake (usually 5%) in a near coin flip situation for example.
Out.
Lol how can you expect to win? its not nl holdem where your goin to be a strong favourate, its omaha.. whenever you get it in pre in omaha there are so many ways of gettin outdrawn.
PLaye the streets its alot more skillful than holdem and you will save and make more money playing down the streets
