Villain is 39/16/3 over not too many hands.

First of all, it's better not to reraise preflop if you got aces, because mostly in omaha if someone reraises they basically say: HEY I HAVE ACES ! So if villian flops even bottom 2 pair he knows he is good against your overpair.

I say fold

You have to know Simo before you say don't 3-bet pre. He has quite a wide range for 3-betting, and to any observant player, it won't telegraph aces. To the un-observant player though, sometimes it will help to represent them.

You can probably lay this one down, unless you feel like gambling. You're most likely flipping against a middle wrap type hand or 2 pairs, and you know how I feel about that these days - however, if he does have the dreaded QQxx, you don't have many ways to improve.

An easy fold there IMO. Im still debating about your raise on the flop...

i'm confused, how is QQxx dreaded?

i also think this is a very easy fold but i see why you raised flop and i do like that

It's not really a "raise" on the flop, UTG went all in for sixty cents. All "hero" did was a standard flop c-bet after 3-betting preflop.

Oops, I misspoke..I meant if he'd flopped a set (88 or 99) my bad

Ok, yeah, I was villain and I'm a retarded betmonkey. I was actually playing not 39/16, but about 26/16 or thereabouts.

Opinions change at all?

Not if the villain is your typical 50plo donk and has no clue if you're 40/20 or 20/3

Hero is almost getting 2/1 here and the only hand that we are in really bad shape against is a set. However, I think with the range of 2p's, sets, and wraps I think this is a fold.
