If you have AAAA you obviously have the best possible starting hand in unlimited omaholdem. You should put your opponents to a decision for all his chips.

lolz for omaholdem. Oh, and extra lolz for the all his chips phrase.

I have moved all-in preflop with AAAA in no-limit Omaha, because I was expecting exactly one caller and got exactly one caller for a sizable amount of chips. The caller had Q9s44 and I was an absolutely healthy favorite. I have also moved in several times with AAAx. If the X is good (suited straight card) I'd almost rather have three aces to eliminate the chance that someone else has two aces.

Loose callers and crazy rules can make anything possible.

the best thing about pockets quads is that you only need to hit one card to make five of a kind, and five of a kind is a really good hand.

Would you believe I run so bad that I've never flopped quints?
