Re: Got called a moron, but who is the real moron?
I don't see a problem with the play-you were a favorite when the money went in. FWIW, the preflop equities in this hand are kind of interesting too and not what I would have expected:

In both hands I got called a total fish and my brokeness was predicted to be forthcoming. Now I bring you the icing on the cake. A hand where I got told by virtually every player on the table what a sucker I was on how I played this hand. View the full action here Now that flop play may look terribly questionable, but lets explore the numbers: With all 4 hands as they were (i.e. in the main pot) http://twodimes.net/h/?z=1320862 pokenum -o8 9s 8d kd 9d - 7d 4s as 2d - 8c 6c ah 2s - 8h jh 6s 7h -- 9c 6d 5s Omaha Hi/Low 8-or-better: 528 enumerated boards containing 5s 9c 6d cards scoop HIwin HIlos HItie LOwin LOlos LOtie EV 9s Kd 9d 8d 98 190 306 32 0 0 0 0.283 As 4s 7d 2d 6 21 507 0 110 0 247 0.247 2s 8c 6c Ah 6 38 458 32 0 110 247 0.169 6s Jh 8h 7h 61 247 249 32 0 297 0 0.302 I wasn't the favorite, but I had more than 0.25 equity in the pot to make calling the push likely +EV. How about the large side pot? http://twodimes.net/h/?z=1320865 pokenum -o8 9s 8d kd 9d - 7d 4s as 2d - 8c 6c ah 2s -- 9c 6d 5s Omaha Hi/Low 8-or-better: 666 enumerated boards containing 5s 9c 6d cards scoop HIwin HIlos HItie LOwin LOlos LOtie EV 9s Kd 9d 8d 197 417 179 70 0 0 0 0.487 As 4s 7d 2d 27 140 526 0 126 0 330 0.328 2s 8c 6c Ah 7 39 557 70 0 126 330 0.185 Thats right folks I am getting almost half the equity in a 3 way push. I also feel that there is a good chance the other 2 players showing weakness will fold often to this huge raise. Still, this move could be dangerous if one of the other big stacks has the straight as well, so lets switch the hands of the shortstack and one of the larger stacks and look at my equity: http://twodimes.net/h/?z=1320874 pokenum -o8 9s 8d kd 9d - 7d 4s as 2d - 8h jh 6s 7h -- 9c 6d 5s Omaha Hi/Low 8-or-better: 666 enumerated boards containing 5s 9c 6d cards scoop HIwin HIlos HItie LOwin LOlos LOtie EV 9s Kd 9d 8d 116 247 375 44 0 0 0 0.289 As 4s 7d 2d 28 28 638 0 476 0 0 0.383 6s Jh 8h 7h 68 347 275 44 0 390 0 0.328 Now I am taking the worst of it in the large side pot, but I would chalk this up to advertising. Plus, given the action I was fairly sure shorty had the nut straight and that the other big stacks were on drawing hands that likely were tangled up. Also, with them coming in from early position I felt as if the nut straight with 78 was somewhat less likely while short stack had been playing everything all night. At any rate, I got my money all in with an overwhelming edge and got called a moron. Do I play it this way every time? No, with fewer people in the pot I will often have to fold the flop, but here is a spot where huge action without the nuts will probably get me action on later hands even though I am getting in with solid value.
