New to Omaha....wondering if this is +ev long term

God no.

This kind of play works best when you stand a good chance of getting HU against passive player and you have money left to bet.

Considering the thoughts in this thread, I have a hypothetical.

Assume relative stacks are 100.

Say you have something like AAKJ. No reads on opponents.

You open to 3.5 in MP, CO pots to 12, SB pots to 29, easy fold?

Here's the problem I see with the OP's play. Yes, it might be slightly +EV to get it in against a random AA and whatever the CO is likely to have.

However, CO's basically just declared his hand as AAxx. It will be much more +EV to use this information to your advantage and outplay him postflop. It's stupid to just take what you get running the cards when you have such a huge informational advantage.
