Are we supposed to be analysing this, or basking in your glory?

why would you bask in my glory?

I want to know if I played it like a calling station donk? I fold aces a lot in omaha and thought i might of wanted to fold these at some point in hand. Results aside of course.

Why not continuation bet the flop? What you are doing in this hand is calling, and hoping that none of the 8 cards against you aren't one of the 2 remaining 3's. You aren't slow playing, you probably aren't trying to work out what the opponents are holding (pretty much impossible due to your lack of continuation bet), so you are just hoping you can get to the end without it being too expensive.

You lost control of the hand on the flop, you'd have found out a lot cheaper whether you were against a 3 by betting. If you think SuperSpunk was betting with nothing, then you should have re-raised him to get the other guy out of the hand.

Just my 5 cents, this is one of those hands that if i was actually playing it, i would have probably done the same as you did.

You should normally fold this on the flop vs a decent opponent. If you have a read he's a complete donk, I suppose it's OK.

I've got no problem with the play here. What we fear most in Omaha is straights anf flushes. With this board there are no straight or flush possibilities so It's very possible that 2 pair aces up is ahead but not strong enough to play a really big pot with.

If it was hi/low I would fold since there is a stronger chance that someone stayed in the hand with a 3 but that's less likely in hi only.

So it's one of those hands that good enough to call with but not strong enough to raise and possibley get into a big pot with. What if we get reraised here, can we call then? Probably not. Plus there aren't too many hands that we beat that are going to call our raise anyway so I like just calling here.

We can make a case for betting the flop but if we get one or 2 callers then we run the risk of building a big pot with a not so strong hand.

Sometimes it's not awful to be a calling station, some hands it's the best way to play it.
