I have no idea how to play this hand at all, let alone out of position.
If i decide to lead out and pot the bet, i cant want a call, and if i get one i can only c/f the turn right?

If i lead out check im losing all the value of my hand if its good and letting anyone draw to whatever they want until they can beat me.

The only other option is to pull some weak/horrible half-pot bet that completely shows my hand and just begs for someone to take the pot from me.

Help me PLEASE!

Not much you can do. AA in omaha suck unless you flop a 3rd Ace, otherwise their useless.

I'd flat call preflop. You don't want to be building the flop OOP since you can easily be outplayed.

Yeah, you're real problem here is that you're telegraphing to the whole table that you have AA by potting it out of position. You're best option here is to just call and then either reraise if there's a lot of action or else just hope to make a real hand (not one pair) on the flop.

LR Preflop. I am only comfortable open raising AA in LP

don't raise up-front with AAxx. you're telling everyone what you have.

limp in, if its raised behind you and you can get 75% of your chips in pre-flop then re-raise.

if that doesn't happen, im limping and playing set or fold.

Yeah, that's what I meant. I was just lazy.

Another idea is to make a small raise (even a minraise) from early position as long as you do it with other good hands and not just aces. The idea is to get a bit of extra value for your good hands without committing yourself as much. Also by pumping the pot you get a chance to get a larger % of your stack if someone comes over the top or if you hit a favourable flop. Also, since many players will make the first raise with a variety of hands, but reraise only with aces, making a small raise up front can gain you valuable information in some cases.

I think that's spot on.

I'd like to add that I tend toward making the small raise with good hands that contain an ace, because we are much less likely to be reraised by AAxx.

Consider these hands:

1. 7 8 9 T
2. 8 T J A

While hand #1 is a nice hand to play (and in fact I'd prefer it to #2 with money left to play), I'd prefer to raise with hand #2 in early position.
