Hey guys! This hand kind of played itself. I mean, other guy did a mistake so that helped too I did a small raise under the gun on purpose (not standard) to induce a 3bet so I could 4bet large. Then I hit the flop pretty nicely but nothing crazy. I didn't think I would be such a huge favorite when the guy moved in but it was nice to see...

A very nice pot to pick up and well done to you for doing so. You must have been a bit worried when another diamond didnt hit and it must have been a very pleasant surprise when he eventually turned his cards over

Nice one TheMachine....... interesting play from the other player with not much of a back up plan to his flush draw. The hand played out as I imagined it would haveing read your post, and you were lucky he played so badly and your AA held up to win the pot. I love Omaha and haven't played it for ages. Must get back to it.

Lol, the player 2 played his Ac3cQdTd very aggressively. How many outs did he have on the flop? 3 of hearts and 3 of spades? Was he trying to represent a strong holding (a set, a straight, or a combo draw) there? Anyway, congratulations, TheMachineQC!

Thanks guys, I could have easily been against a straight 2 pair or a set but this time I was ahead big time because he was trying to go for the flush too

He had some out for 2 pairs if he hit Q or 10 but since the turn was a 6 I made aces up so I had the best 2 pair possible with the best flush draw possible. From the turn he only had 2 outs yeah lol I was pretty lucky though!

You are totally right. The player 2 did have additional outs besides 2 threes when he shoved all-in on the flop. The odds calculator shows that he had approximately 25% equity when all the money went into the middle. So, the 6 of hearts on the turn (kind of a scary card) hugely increased your odds of winning the pot.
