Should I just muck this, or call and hope to hit a big flop?

That's what we call a 'trouble hand' in omaha. You'll make alot of nonnut flushes and straights, and/or bottom set. The negative implied odds are huge on hands like this. I say muck every time. I wouldn't even limp with this hand (maybe on the button if 5 people limped to me, but never in early or middle position).

Folds?

Stop being silly.

I play almost anything in position, but even I'm mucking that cheese. Short of flopping quads or a straight flush there's nothing good that can happen. With a poster calling in front of you who, at this limit may call massive raises with top pair bluffing when checked to isn't too exciting of an option either.

Really not much reason to call.

You could make the nut low though, so there's that!

Good luck.

But, but, but......I heard you will play even 4444 in position, and hero can make two SFs and three quads......... huge implied odds you know.......

Re-Raise. He's probably raising with AKQJ ns, you have the best hand.

As if I need to, sw.

Drop it like it's hot.

Yes that is looser than the 5 dollar w*ore down on the corner of main and trade, if you make that call!
