Ok, so i've been an aggressive bastard, and i'm chipleader by a lot. I have 17k, next stack is 9k. I'm raising 3 pots per orbit preflop, and following them all up w/ a pot sized bet, a few hands ago i got kinda lucky when my top pair + overs + OESD + Backdoor flush, got put up against a hand that had the same OESD, and an overpair, whoops. Yea so i spiked the backdoor flush, and i'm sure the table thinks i'm wacko.

Is this an insta-call (well, push). I don't know Omahah that well and it looked like JT or 9T or more would have done this.. but if i'm behind, i'm drawing pretty dammn slim.

Preflop: Hero is BB with T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of 75.
UTG calls, MP1 calls, 1 fold, CO calls, Button calls, SB (poster) completes, Hero checks.

Flop: T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (6 players)
SB checks, Hero bets pot, UTG folds, MP1 folds, CO folds, Button raises pot ( this is half his stack) , SB folds, Hero? (putting him allin and losing would leave me around 10k, winning would be like 25k)

Pot was t5400 and it was t2700 for you to call. (think that is right)

possible hands for villian- AJQx, TKxx, KKxx. With him repotting i would suspect the last two not having any info on him. have any stats on this guy? have any reads on him, fish/solid?

Disclaimer: I'm really bad at PLO tournaments. I think you're splitting at best, but most likely you're behind. For what it's worth, I usually check that flop (but like I said, I'm a bad PLO tournament player). Even with your crazy image, I don't often see players making these kinds of reraises without a big hand or a big draw (which doesn't apply on this paired board).

no reads, no nothing. Just know that he limped behind 3 people

You've got 3 outs or 1 out.. I think, although I rarely play Omaha with people who know how to play Omaha.

so, no one thinks he does this w/ just a T?

What's the buy-in for this tournament, and how deep are you into it?

Do you really think this guy would put in a pot-sized raise from the button on the flop with KK or KT?

Yes, I think someone raises the pot from the button with just a ten (especially with Ace-Ten), and a strong draw is not out of the question ... perhaps a QJ to go with his T.

I push. Absent any real reads, I just don't figure KK or KT to make that play.

this is a $20 tournament, small field, approaching the tiny bubble.

My gut says this looks more like QJ with either a K or a T. Hard to put him on KK or KT, I think he calls your bet there instead of a raise, given how aggressive you've been at the table.

Important to note that if he does have QJ, he's actually only drawing to a 9, since you have an A. I probably push here, I think you're going to see a similar T a lot of the time.
