    Default It's time to play.....

    you make the call!

    Alright fellas, I was playing a little bit of heaven yesterday, thats PLO for the uninformed, and this hand came up. Don't ask how or why I got to this point just make the current decision

    .10/.25 blinds I have a stack of $20

    I minimum raise from UTG with

    Button calls

    BB raises the pot to $3

    I call

    Button re-raises to $15

    BB goes all in for $32 total

    Ok now I am certain both the button and BB have AAxx hands

    Do I just fold losing $3 or should I call here getting 2 to 1 total on my money?

    not a good omaha player, but if BOTH players are playign AAxx ... you're not going to get a fullhouse drawn on you ... thats for sure. Now, its just up to you if the 2:1 is worth finding a jack... any two chance of two pair is simply gone when they make the two pair with aces up.

    how confident are you that a Jack will come on the board, and how confident are you that 10/3 that you can make the low hand? I'd say fold and fight another day.

    I fold.

    quite possible at least one of your jacks is dead.

    I prefer to have something like 9876ds in these spots.

    OK, I just ran the math turns out I'm either a slight favorite, 35%, or a slight dog, 31%, depending on the suits and that they don't hold a Jack.

    For the actual hand I was 33%.

    6789 I wouldn't even think about, easy call. hell 3467 I'd call in a hearbeat
