[converted_hand][hand_history]Poker Stars, $24.55 Buy-in (1,200/2,400 blinds) Pot Limit Omaha H/L Tournament, 4 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite. View Hand #37918711

BB: 78,125 (32.6 bb)

CO raises to 7,200, BTN folds, Hero calls 6,000, BB raises to 28,800, CO raises to 93,600, Hero???

You aren't telling us what the bounties are.

In a normal tournament you could somehow justify folding due to ICM (intuitively I still wouldn't fold). In a PSKO winning is rewarded so highly that I think this is a no-brainer getin.

You have a top 1% hand... why did you jut call the first raise?

Now you still have a top 1 % hand and now you can win a bounty and become a huge chip leader. What should you do?

I'm only paying the first raise because I'm OOP and don't want to make a big raise and invest to much of my stack, to check-fold a scary board.
If comes a flush draw is 5 high... I may have raised first in if I had AA2x double suited.

After that action I was glad I could go all in.
Unfortunately I got scooped from both players.
A2TT made flush, AQ63 made a full house.

Why I ask what the right play is? Im not very experienced in MTTs and Omaha8.

If you want to play the hand 3bet it.Why let bb cheap?you could raise to 24k making

the pot 50k with 70 behind.It`s not like you were super deep.
I think some MTT player could give you the best answer.Against 2 players you have

about 40%,not sure is that enough considering ICM.But again with bounties i can not fold ever here.

Good comments. OP, first you need to understand that your hand is really really strong. I don't think flatting pre is that bad per se (to trap), but the reason you did it is bad. You don't make money in poker by taking conservative lines with top 1% hands aiming to fold flops that are marginal for your hand.

Again I want to emphasize that in this tournament structure taking 1st place is rewarded very highly. You do realize that you get your own bounty if you win?

Thanks all for your answers.
I won some of these 27 $ KO tourneys a couple of times and was also a couple of times at the final table, I can remember the difference of the payouts was huge. Only the winner wins much.
Maybe because I lost that pot, I was frustrated and thinking result oriented after this hand, and maybe I feel unsure because I overplayed aces preflop a couple of times before.
And I'm still a beginner, for omaha8 and MTTs also, that's why I ask for advices sometimes.
