OK, I am pretty sure of the answer, but
just learning Omaha hi-lo, and I had a
question. 8 players, me and one other
guy have the deepest stacks. He is super
aggresive, always raising big. I am in the
BB, he is on the button. Pre flop, it is
folded around to him, and he goes all in
for 300 big blinds.... SB folds, and I
hold A234 with the A2 suited. I fold,
not wanting to commit my stack with a
low draw, and a single flush draw.
1st. was I correct in folding?
( I think I was )
2nd. if I was correct to fold, how much
of a dog was I ?
thank you in advance

Gary, they're discussing NLO8, not PLO8 in case you missed it. Say the
game is $2-$4 blinds and the person goes all-in for $500 preflop
(which is normal in these games). The person with AA usually has two
small ones with his hand. Having nothing invested, it's far better to
wait, as it's almost imperative you catch three wheel cards to have a
chance of scoping, let alone winning half. About 50% of the time the
board will pair, putting you in a bad position to win any of it.
It's like the old games of the past where they had no ante or blind,
just the dealer putting in a dollar.

Against a random player I fold.
But this isn't a random player and if he's been doing these kind of raises
a lot (and I've been folding) then I'll call with A234 because I see no
reason at all to put him on AA anything. He seems just as likely to have
something like JJ23, 4 suited.

I stated, "you'd be better off calling with 4567ss than with A234 if
you were going to call". I don't call allin bets with A234 in multiple
pots with multiple players in PLO8, let alone NL. Do you "COMPRENDE"

Just for clarification because it's hard to understand what you're trying
to say. If I understand your post correctly you're saying you would call
your entire stack away preflop in a no limit Omaha 8 game with 4567
because you have a better chance of "scooping", which I what I assume you
meant to type?

If Johnny Chan told you no one had enough money to play PLO in 1984,
he's a fool and you're a fool to believe it. Chan barely had a couple
of quarters in those days, plus the game was new in Vegas, as Gwen
brought it down in 1983.
PLO can always be played as the blinds determine the size of the game.

This game is horrible in a NL format... The guy will lose big as soon as
a couple of people get sick of it...
Unlike Holdem, it is almost never *reasonable* to go all-in unless you
have infinite pockets, or they have very shallow ones. Gamblers ruin is
almost always there.
You should try and talk folks into a PL format which is much more
reasonable for this game.
You are not that bad off and depending on his hand, and there is no real
reason to believe that he has AK DS, and pretty good reason to believe
he doesn't you may be ahead...
