Overbetting the pot is ok against a large crowd to give out bad odds to flush/straight draws

DO NOT OVERVALUE AAxx PREFLOP JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN BET WHATEVER YOU WANT. Peeps like me are going to lick their lips even more when we flop a big wrap and flush draw against your overpair [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

What do you think would be the effect of always going all-in preflop with AAxx? +EV or -EV? I think +EV bigtime since on average you are a 65% favorite against any hand except another AAxx.

Despite it being no-limit, you'd have to either have someone else have AAxx or maybe KKxx for you to accomplish this, unless there is a maniac just moving all-in PF every hand (big stacks enjoy doing that). You'll be better off limping weak AAxx and trying to hit a set or a ragged board, because just like PLO, it's not uncommon to see an entire table calling a $8 raise PF when you have AA.

you have to learn to fold the nuts constantly if you dont have a redraw. Pot $6, flop 567 you have 89, guy bets $200, you have to fold.
NL omaha is a stupid game, just avoid playing it please.

When I was playing NLHE, people called my all-in w/ AA all the time with AKs, KK, QQ, JJ, TT. You just have to know when to do it.
