I'm not an Omaha 8 or Better expert, but it seems pretty bad on his part. He's probably an underdog to win the high end with no possibility of winning the low end if you have a low draw.

I think calling his reraise with J, J, J, 6 is a pretty terrible play, though. Why get involved when your hand has almost showdown value whatsoever, when you can just fold and lose the minimum? If he has a hand like A, A with two low cards, how do you expect to be able to bully him when he flops a good low draw along with his overpair?

It seems to me that high low split games are not games where you can expect to be able to bully opponents to the same degree that you can in high only games. I think you should've just open-folded.

Also, why does it matter that he's holding the ace of clubs?
