Omaha Cash Hand

hi_am_chris:
Not much omaha on this board and its a game i want to improve in, just wondering if my play in this spot is too loose. Not including which suited cards Djian has, his hand is pretty easily defined as aces (havent seen any players make this raise at micro stakes with anything but) so what do i do?

Questions

If i expect the pot to be three way whats my best play? Fold/Call/Shove

Does it change what you would do if there wasnt another player involved?

hiamchris raises to $1.20.
keljam folds.
bt1hurricane calls $1.15.
Aces4sMooN folds.
Djian1000 raises to $4.90

Djian has me covered (17.69), i have my initial 10 dollars and hurricane has 3.31 including his small blind

thought process when you 3bet an UTG raise from UTG+1 pre?

surely you have some sort of plan when you decide to do this with a mediocre hand

LongshanksED:
I"d flat call in the hope to hitting a straight with your hand

but re raise - not for me. Heads up I"d re pot it if I"m position. But with players behind your raise is a hiding to nothing.

Paulie_D:
Whilst you state that the V"s hand is defined as Aces (and you are probably right) I see no value in the re-raise after he"s already raised.

You want to see a flop as cheaply as possible to see if your plan (you do have a plan don"t you?) works. You"re going to need to flop two pair or a decent straight draw to be in a position to beat his Aces.

I discount the flushing nature of your hand as it"s quite likely that any flush draw you might have will be counterfeited by one of the others.

I"d sum it up by saying "Yes", you played it very loose. I"ll play your hand as long as I"m in position and can do so cheaply enough but not aggressively (as you did) until I have something to be aggressive with.

Otherwise, just fold it pre-flop.

Omaha is a drawing game which all happens post flop. Getting into a raising war pre-flop is a road to ruin.

Oh, and post flop, it"s about drawing to the nuts, especially multi-way.

hi_am_chris:
reraised to mix things up, same as you would in six max holdem, aiming to play a flop heads up against one opponent (obviously short stack gets involved) in position with the lead in the hand, obviously plan scuppered but what do u do now in this spot, obviously in holdem with pretty much any hand you dont have the odds to flat if you know he has aces (although thats harder to know in holdem) but what about here? is it a mistake to fold when his hand is face up and we have a hand that plays well against aces? as i was asking is it a fold because of the short stack which will reduce your chances of winning the hand? If it was heads up with the original raiser is it a fold now or do we have enough equity in the hand against aces that it would be a mistake to fold?
