I've been playing around with $25PLO. I've never really devoted myself to learning PLO, I mostly play PLO/8, but I decided to give it a whirl. I'm barely 500 hands in, but it's going pretty good so far. So anyway, on to the hand. Essentially I limp in with a nice little AAQJ, call a min bet on the flop with the nut flush draw and belly buster straight, then all hell breaks loose. Is it right to shrug and shove here with the nut flush draw and belly buster straight?

welcome to omaha. you keep getting odds to chase it. just go for it and cross your fingers.

I'm glad that all you guys see it like I did. I figured it might be a little high variance, but mathmatically it seemed sound to me. The turn was the brick but the river was the and I scooped the whole pot. Looking back at the hand history, here's what I was up against





As soon as the pot was shipped, the whole table went nuts on me. It was the only time I've ever put 10 people on tilt. One guy threatened to curb me, a la 'American History X'. It was pretty sweet.
