last night i tried...and they other guy lucked out and beat me...just to add to my losing streaking.

i had AATTds...i went all in preflop. i got 2 callers, both of them had triple my stack so i guess it was an ok call.

one mucked, and the other just had a KK with 2 unders in his hand. the flop gave him a set.

now...i was thinking to myself, i got 2 nut flush draws, 2 nut straight draws, 2 set draws (1 of them nut), and a very remote double nut straight flush draw.

was this a good hand to go all in with?

In my little trips through Nebraska, I say yes....though, I'm known to be a bit loose when it comes to Omaha....best hand all in is AA KKds if I'm not mistaken...u'r outs are correct, I think you made the right play
Yeahhhh mannnnnn

Your chances of winning this hand against random hands in 10 people game is ~25% so I would say it was a good call
