The villian is a major insane donk. He has blown chips on top pair and other horrible hands several times while i have been sitting here. His raises are meaningless. Big stacks in this tourney do garbage raises all the time preflop, and in last 10 hands he blew 20k plus in chips.

when i read the title, i assumed there was going to be like a 5-way allin preflop or something and then i can say you could fold.

yet i see you're HU with doublesuited aces. of course you should reraise and get it allin. go for #1

Even though i can fold to money?

do you want to win the tournament or squeak into a 20some dollar profit?

I am chuck's friend. You have to give credit to chuck because he played this 5.50 6 - handed on stars w/o rebuying or adding on. Prize pool is 3,395 dollars with 933 going to first.

Opponents' hand was: Ad Kh 7c 6s

I am partly to blame as well because we were having this very discussion on aim whether to go forit on bubble with aces. I was just discussing with him where i said,


charles (12:16:27 AM): in omaha
charles(12:16:31 AM): you can fold aa
charles (12:16:34 AM): on bubble
Phanekim (12:16:36 AM): haha
Phanekim (12:16:38 AM): with ease
charles (12:16:45 AM): akq2 ds
Phanekim (12:16:50 AM): actually
Phanekim (12:16:57 AM): u can make arguement other wise
Phanekim (12:17:07 AM): unlike in holdem
Phanekim (12:17:11 AM): your raise means obvious
Phanekim (12:17:12 AM): aces
charles (12:17:16 AM): not here
charles (12:17:37 AM): aads
Phanekim (12:17:52 AM): he could fold
Phanekim (12:17:54 AM): if u repop him
Phanekim (12:18:08 AM): he's been seatling
charles (12:18:37 AM): yep
Phanekim (12:18:51 AM): that was unbelievable

Haha...just thought i'd add this in...personal flavor chuck :P.

Btw, the retard was like at 60k...within 1 minute he was down to 25k.

I was getting it in with best of it repeatedly against big stacks. Big stacks were playing small pairs in raised pots, and unsuited hands. 5 hands earlier I reraised big stack's initially raise to put myself allin with acjckk, and it held up on js2s5h5c8s board versus big stack and this hands villian, so I had plenty of chances to get in it with the best.

If you had like 1000 chips to start the hand, maybe you could fold to the money because you have so little chance of first. Here getting a 42k stack gives you a great chance to do well in the tourney, you have to take this shot.

Re: Tourney situation. Omaha version of classic Holdem AA question
 

I guess my point that I have at least 4 more shots to put in with best of it against insane donks doesnt resonate with anyone. I have noticed that almost all the posts are cash game posts, does anyone actually play tourneys online? I ask because this was an unlimited rebuy/addon tourney, and I saw endless shoving with overpair no redraw, and other horrible plays.

For instance, during the second hour of tourney i potted from button with 99tt ss for 1/3 my stack. flop came k3t rainbow. big stack checks, i shove allin. He calls with t256 ds, essentially drawing dead.
