i should have known he was going to hit quads...

I don't like the hand. Middle/low pairs always kill you for big pots when it goes set over set. He got lucky and hit his quads for sure but I'm not playing that hand unless it is double suited for blockers/emergency outs. T876 is a better omaha hand than T887. The pair is really useless and mostly makes your hand a 3 card hand.

thanks moose. i guess i'm over playing the middle pairs.

It's impossible to over play 78!!

Actually, no, Moose is right, middle pairs aren't worth what they are in NLHE. This hand goes in the trash without double suiting at least.

Set over set is more common in PLO then HE.

And neither of you guys put the other one on a set of aces?!?

I see players getting felted with middle and bottom set all the time. They're willing to go broke against flopped flushes and straights, too. Don't understand the logic.

i couldn't see him flatting aces preflop from the BB with two players in the hand. i, on the other hand, could have easily had aces.
