Re: PLO8 - Did I do something wrong or was I just doomed?

Comparing AA2x in Omaha to AA in Holdem indicates a serious misunderstanding of odds and betability. With AA preflop in holdem, you are always at least an 80/20 favorite. You can't hope for much better than that, you want to get as much money in as possible -- edges after the flop in Holdem are typically rather small.

Fine -- use QQ in holdem as the example. The principle is the same, tho I’ll grant there is no AA equivalent in PLO8.
I wouldn’t agree that edges in holdem are small postflop. Both games offer the chance to have large edges postflop. Eg. If you have QQ and raise and your opponent has A9s and calls, then on a 943 board, then you certainly have a nice edge.

Raising or limp-reraising with an AA hand with 100x BB stacks is not a horrible way to go. Against good competition, though, I think there are better ways to play it.

I agree there are several correct ways to play it based on your opponents. And personally, I try not to play against good opponents…..
