Especially in cash games. Do not play like this guy did with his aces. This guys hand was so far behind that he loses 9 out of 10. Yet, he wins this 3 handed. I tend to not go all in preflop in omaha. However, seeing how these 2 were playing and the amount of cash that would be in there at the end. I figured that I had the right odds to be in the pot as long as I knew I was facing aces, and player 2 had been betting pot like this on little suited low cards. I figured i had the best draw, which me and him are actually decently close to each other draw wise. Anyway guy plays like 15 more minutes then leaves. Im sure he gave it away to somebody else. Just so sick to lose to AAA3 rainbow.

Wow...what can I say...he had nothing to draw to and bet anyway. Just got lucky that the cards weren't very kind to you and you didn't catch much either.
Best of luck in the future...hope you run into this guy again so he can give you your money back.
3 aces thou what was he thinking or maybe not thinking is a better way to put it newbies allways think aces are big favs in omaha as you know just look for him new time and take his cash
sometimes it is a good idea if you can get all-in heads up facing aces with your hand it was a pity that the other player stayed in the hand
At least you didn't lose to 2223 in PL Omaha Hi. I've seen that win too...
Honestly, I think it's a mistake to do a lot of raising before the flop. Save it for the turn, when you know 89% of the board and your bets matter.
Just keep an eye out for him and see if you can snap him off, but if you want my advice, don't go all-in against him pre-flop without a huge hand. Even with a maniac like that, call his raise, then see the flop and play from there. In that situation, it wouldn't have mattered, but it will save you money in the long run and allow you to control the pot size with your drawing hands.
As a side remark, you are welcome to join in any of my weekly or monthly private Omaha events. Check out my profile for a list, or read my blogs for the full details. I think you'd enjoy them. :-)

I play mostly omaha and omaha H/L on pokerstars. Im telling you AA is a ***** to crack on the site. Its really funny how on holdem AA seems to never win yet in Omaha AA is a monster. I mean holdem you dont have nearly the draws like you do in omaha.
Just take it from a guy who plays mostly omaha that you will see it alot, AA winning and people know to push with it.
I love Omaha and I love people who overvalue a pair of Aces
in Omaha even more lmaoo , he will pay you back over and
over and over lol , don't worry about this one time he won ,gl
