I really liked my turn bet on this hand. It was small to give myself odds. But I put housefreik all-in. I think that is what kept me from being re-raised because bena had proved to be VERY agressive.

I don't know what they have to say
It makes no difference anyway.
Whatever it is...
I'm against it.

You're lucky the money wasn't deep in this hand.

I just call pre-flop. I don't like playing in single raised pots with just a pair of Aces, too easy to pay someone else off. With AA I like to limp-re-raise big or look to hit something like top set or the nut flush (draw) on the cheap.

That was the point of this hand history. I bet $.55 (which was the exact amount to put housefreik all-in) with the pot as it was, this was a great amount to not look suspicious, yet still retain great pot odds with my nut draw.

In other situations, betting this amount, in this size of pot will signify weakness.

As for your pre-flop. I disagree. With a suited Ace, 3 to broadway and a pair of aces, I need to raise to weed out. Knowing that people play much more crap, a big raise is the only allowed raise I can make.

Fnord I love your Holdem posts, but you really need some work with omaha. What you said is akin to saying in holdem "I don't like raising pre-flop with AA because someone might suck out of me on the flop".

No matter how good your hand is, you can never fall in love with it. Good players know when they are beat. In PLO if you have a strong hand get your money in WHILE YOU ARE AHEAD. This is common sense.
