Simple solution: stop playing Omaha.

Seriously though, knowing little to nothing about Omaha, that was a terrible fucking call on his part. There really needs to be a program that searches out the real world address of where this person is, complete with 8x10 photo, so you can kick them in the nuts.

Good table selection.

Short term they suck out.. long term you win.

Yea, I know, this was like the 3rd one in like 30 minutes so I needed to post to vent.

Agreed, that's pretty terrible. Also one of the reasons I stopped playing PLO online as my main game. Too many times in those spots (3 way all ins) it's something like AAxxss vs AAKxss vs T986ds and it's like rolling the dice to see who wins.

It's not rolling the dice, the low run is actually the favourite if he can put you both on big pairs or big cards containing each other's outs...pretty standard 3 way play in this spot by the low run if he has proper reads especially if it is a typical table where noone 3 bets without AKQJ,KQJT, AAxx, KKxx, etc. Realize that his call depends on dead money already in the pot and what he thinks the 2 of you are holding. What can look like a donkey play can actually be a very good play if done on purpose.
