Turn_Prophet:
OK, we have preflop and flop to discuss. Why did I reraise preflop? Because I think I have better equity and his stack isn't very big. I am open to discussion of just calling though.
On the flop, he is all-in, so we theoretically can make a perfect decision on raw odds. That board is really dry, all things considered. His range in my mind boils down to probably a set or a flush draw. No big straight draws out, and the cards are so unconnected that two pair is unlikely, especially considering he called a 3-bet preflop (but then again this is the micros lol).
We're getting close to 2-to-1. Does that make this a call? I guess we have to consider the fact that in the event of a flush draw, he still wins a fair amount, whereas versus a set, we're close to drawing dead.
Thoughts?

Ouch, I cringe and fold this. I think you're rarely ahead and if so not by much. Not enough to justify a call imo

PF is fine, you have a monster hand. His call is not bad since in omaha hands value are very close (in PLO you always almost have to call 3B unless your hand fairs really bad vs AAXX)
This is not a great flop for you.
c/c, c/f and b/f are all fine.
Once you bet and he raised he's saying he can beat AA... so at worse its a FD. Fold!

I think my answer would rest on whether he is the type of opponent who would just put me on AA-KK or if he realises I am capable of re raising a wider range pf.
I think I prefer a rr pf, pot/fold on flop. It does seem like a dry board but he does still have a fair bit behind to make the push difficult to call. if his stack was a few $ smaller I would probably call.
And again, I may call his all in if I think he is capable of raising there weak figuring I fold a lot of hands. He is kind of saying though he has AA beat so I think a lot of the time I just muck.
