Hi there,

I just came cross a small Omaha Rebuy Tournament and thought why not.
My Omaha knowledge is VERY limited (I basicly am only sure that you get 4 cards to start with and that you should play 2 of those).

so, that is the hand I went all in with, I would love a few comments if that was ok or ****e, and why.

Thank you all a lot.

OK so don't play tournament PLO so I may be way off the mark, but can we not consider folding here? We have no fold equity so basically can only really on our all in +EV. Against a 10% opening range we are flipping and against a wider 20% range we have 56.54%. So depending on how tight MP2 is I think we can at least consider folding.

Just throwing it out there that this can be a fold if the variables :

bubble distance, not having an ace your in hand, villain open range, are significant enough.

There's 8x chance of aa** as its 9 handed table. HAving an A with the KK makes it a no brainier but here it is not simple without information.

It's close though/marginal in any case other than the bubble being miles away, guy just lost a pot, is a fish.

folding would not be terrible vs a nit close to the bubble, but it's still more or less a very std stack-off

6max I could never get away, but 9-handed it's not autoshove if there are ICM considerations. Not that I'm ever folding personally...

If we fold this spot, we're doomed to get blinded out.

I had especially difficulties with what hands to play and which not, course I found those '30 best starting hands of omaha' sheets and stuff, but you can wait forever and a freaking day to hit one of those.
Thanks for opinions and sorry if the question seems to stupid for some.
Next one I post will be more interesting I hope.

And post information on the bubble, it is actually pivotal here and to be fair it can always be pivitol even if you have ds aces.

to bubble: 16 ppl left, 7 in the money. So nothing exciting yet.
I wasn´t quite sure if it wouldn´t have been better to wait a bit longer or if you can even blind down more in Plo tourneys.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought 'just' AA in the starthand is not all that good, but to look for sth like double suited connected highcards with big pairs and t+ kickers, or on that line.

Yea, no choice but to gamble if the bubble's that far away. You'll be blinded out waiting in a couple orbits.

AAxx is favorite against anything pre, but not all match-ups are created equal. Go to propokertools.com and run a few sims with AA vs different types of hands.

Gonna close this now, you can ask follow-ups in the beginners' thread. Don't hesitate to post new threads with a fresh hand history, obviously.
