The tournament is event 18, Pot Limit Omaha Hi/Lo, of the Chicago Series of Poker. The tournament is the smallest live tournament I've ever played, with only about 25 runners. Starting stack was 8000, and I'm sitting on about 9000, after running it up to nearly 20k early, but I'm bleeding off in a hurry as the table is down to 5-handed, and blinds are up to 600/1200 (level 9). Only 4 players are getting paid and, between the two tables, there are 9 left (for whatever reason, they didn't want to combine tables until it was down to 8-handed). UTG, a recently moved player (and drinking heavily and won't shut up), is sitting on a mountain of chips, probably about 60,000, and has been playing 100% of hands, most of them for a raise and hitting with the most ungodly garbage. He literally can't miss (or opponents miss, and his top pair is good), and has stacked 3 players at the table since sitting down. UTG opens for pot again (4200), and the other 3 players fold around to me in the BB. My hand is;
89JQ.
Not great for PLO8 and I consider a fold. But UTG announces, "I've got quads." I pause. "Wanna see?" He tables a 96. I surmise he may have a potential low hand, and it could be as trashy as 6789, or maybe not, and it's 6699. "Just raise me and I'll put you all in pre," he says. He raises his other cards high enough for his neighbor (solid Russian player) to see, and the Russian guy smiles in spite of himself. Is it too nitty to fold and wait for a better PLO8 hand? OK to just call and see the flop out of position? I feel I have no fold equity, irrespective of the flop, if I play. Commentary welcome.

Easy fold. Your hand plays terribly Allin preflop

"If I raise you I will already be all-in pre, but thanks for the offer".

Hard to fold with 7.5 bbs left, but villain seems like an easy double-up so I don't think it is too nitty to fold and wait for better. I'm assuming since he has about 30% of the chips, most everyone else is similar in stack-size to you. Definitely would not call and c/f flop if this is the case.

Getin is ridiculous, but as you know two of your opponents cards you might take a flop. Folding is a safe play.

Sigh, fold. We are a small dog to 96xx calling puts us in some tricky spots and our hand is garbage.

fold this but be prepared to shove over Villians next open with anything better than K823 one suit or so..
