Subject: Advice Request Alpha: Omaha/8 (with BAHH)


I don't pretend to be a very good O/8 player - so if this play was just
way, way, too aggressive, please let me know. I had played very few hands,
while seeing the bad guy in this one win with terrible starting hands. He
started to get pushy with his chips, and figured with the money already
in, it was worth a shot.

It's not a terrible play, but I'd be cursing life once he put in the third
raise (assuming he has AAxx, and that I am a dog, but have to call for pot
odds).

Calling preflop and using position is a viable alternative too.
