Grandgnu,

Believe me I sympathize. But hear me out. First thing is if I read your description correctly the big blind called one raise when two others called in front of him. So he was getting 7 to 1 on his call so you can't really be too frustrated with the rags he was playing. Yes it was a bad starting hand but in that situation the BB could have anything so you need to be aware of that.

Second, yes you turned the nut house but not the nuts. If you have A, 7 and the board flopps A,A, 7 that would be the nuts. So realize you don't have the nuts, (I know you knew it wasn't the nuts, not trying to insult you just try to explain fully). Obviously you have a monster hand but when you get reraised on the turn that is when you have to try to put a read on the guy and just call him down. You may save yourself 2 bets but if he doesn't have the quads you lose yourself two bets by calling him. Don't get too frustrated, big up and down swings in Omaha. My main point here would be beware of the BB when there are callers in front of him bc pot odds are in his favor to call with almost anything. It has nothing to do with the limits you are playing.
