Obvious Aces? I'm not wanting to fold to his reraise in position but is there no other way to play this?

Gotta fold the flop - he clearly reps aces, but worse is that you don't have much of a draw at all, so even if he doesn't have aces he's likely to have you beat there.



However, if you do think he has aces you should probably just fold preflop, since you're not deep enough to have implied odds with a 3-card hand. Shove or fold pre here I think. Fold would be 'standard,' but against other opponents a shove would also be standard wink.gif. If you guys were deeper (200bbs) I would say you played it fine, and fold the flop.

Fold to the preflop 3bet unless the guy is a real lagtard. I am serious. With 40% of your stack in there are very, very few flops you will like calling all in against when he pushes the flop with his obvious AAxx.

In fact, if the guy is nitty, just call the original raise. Kings aren't nearly the powerhouse in Omaha that they are in holdem.

I agree with this ^^

If that guys rarely raises preflop , i like a call in position. Otherwise i like 3 -betting preflop.
