5-10 Reraising BTF with Suited Aces??

[bruce]

I have logged countless hours playing PLO live. I've been getting bored playing holdem lately so I decided to play Party 5-10 PLO. Haven't played Omaha in a few years. Anyway I had been playing for around thirty minutes when this hand came up.

Me Ah Ad Ks Ts

I'm in midposition with around $900 and I bring it in for $35. Button makes it $135 with around $2500. He appeared to be decent, although it's was tough to tell in only 30
minutes. Big blind calls. He has $600 more after calling.
Big blind is the weak link. He plays way too many hands and is incorrectly chasing draws.

What's my best play? Do I call or reraise the maximum amount?

My intuition told me that button probably didn't have a pair of Aces. Assigning big blind a hand would be very difficult to say the least.

Also do I need to consider what happens if I only call and don't hit the flop hard? I'll be OOP against the big stack and be sandwiched. Do I want to try to get it all in BTF where I'm almost certain to have the best hand or should I see a flop?


Comments appreciated.

Shove. Absolutely standard especially considering you don't think button is likely to have aces. If you were deeper or in position you could consider calling and seeing how the flop goes, but definitely not here.

I'd like to make one general observation here regarding two people being dealt AAxx at same time.

I probably play 50/50 ring/tournaments and I notice AA vs AA way more frequently in tournaments than I do in ring games. I surmise therefore, that two AA hands get dealt more frequently (and folded) than ring PLO players realize.

[RoundTower]

Maybe there's something to it, but I can't imagine AA gets folded that often preflop, even if Bluffthis is in the game. I expect it's because the players get all in preflop more often in tournaments where with deeper stacks one hand would fold postflop.

That's because donkaments are full of people that play AA incorrectly, while ring games have at least a few people that have an idea of how to play it OOP.

I'd definitely put it in there.

well, if they're getting it all in preflop OOP they must be doing something right.

You really stack off with aces every chance you get in PLO tourneys?

Why push what is often a 5 or 10% edge in a 3 way pot when you can see a flop and actually, you know, play poker?

I have no problem sticking it in here, you have two solid other cards and a suited king, i cant image you being behind.

A small edge of 5-10% is a small edge but it is an edge none the least and needs to be eploited.

I stick it in here all the time
