Regarding what to do, you have a trashy starting hand. If you were not in the big blind, I'd say either fold it or try the bully/bluff tactic.

My experience is the bully/bluff tactic works a lot better in Texas hold 'em, no-limit, or pot-limit games than in fixed-limit Omaha-8.

Thus, except that you hate to be bullied by the small blind when you post the bif blind, I'd meekly fold that trash starting hand and wait for a better one.

It's harder to decide when you have posted the big blind and the small blind is possibly trying to steal.

But Small Blind only has roughly half a small bet left. If you re-raise, he'll go all-in and you'll be risking 1.5 small bets to possibly win 3.5 small bets if you scoop, or to save your big blind (1 small bet) if you split. In a ring game, I'd call with your hand in this situation.

In a tournament, I think your best course of action is to fold.
