Double four of a kind? You had already reduced the chances of your opponent to win this hand to two outs, if he happened to have in the hand two of the cards missing to the royal straight flush with one of the three aces at the flop and turn and river brought the other two that were left - which would also be as strange as what happened, if it had happened. But, if in fact this scenario that I had described have taken place, you would be much more happier than you were for winning this hand, because most probably you would be celebrating here with us the fact of having won a huge bad beatbonus!

Nice hand but I don't think it matters too much about the second quads. If you assume no one had the ace, any pocket pair would beat a single nine. Even 2s in the hand would make a full house vs trips since you must use two of your hole cards. So even if the other player had a 9 you presumably wouldn't be getting it all in. I would bet high and hope he had tens back or something.
Pretty nice sirthomas, I have never seen a player holding 2 quads in omaha even though it changes nothing at all in this situation. There's almost no way you're gonna get value on this board though, even with KK or QQ in his hand your opponent would probably just call your bets.
Posted by Macubaas: I would say that it's a really nice hand if you ask me especially if you hold it on your hand
Just out of curiosity: On what poker platform did you played that hand??

KK would be third nuts. Do you really not see him raising with third nuts? Unless the op played it obviously like an ace I don't see why you would assume someone has the one card in the deck other than both 9s that can beat your hand. I'm not saying you'd go all-in with Ks necessarily but you've got to assume that you'd get a decent call from 10s or above. There's also a possibility someone would try and bluff the ace if the pot was big enough so it really depends on how it was played.

Giant hand but no nice pot. many time we won big pot just with pair, right ? Cause low rank more difficult to play and more risk, need full concentration to win with low rank. But with double quards automatic reduce change to win big. Anyway that hand make us smile, lol
yeah very strange....double quads...how many poker gods help you in that hand.... ...but it was very good because you still extract pot size bet in your opponent...

You placed a nice bet there to lure him calling, but with those table cards i doubt i would have called with a pair of fours. Too low for a full house and since its Omaha four of a kind is a frequent hit and run
