    CO is a total fish that plays way too many hands and often plays them terribly, he has been up to 200 and then felted twice already

    SB is better than CO, but I also welcome him to the table - he overvalues hands, doesn't fold mediocre hands on the flop, and at times is a bit too tricky for his own good.

    What do we think about the Hero's call on the flop as opposed to raising?

    What do we think about the Hero getting it all in once he does call and gets the heavy action coming back to him?

    Full Tilt Poker $0.50/$1 Pot Limit Omaha Hi - 5 players

    UTG: $150.60
    CO: $81.55
    Hero (BTN): $189.25
    SB: $166.15
    BB: $31.50

    Pre Flop: ($1.50) Hero is BTN with 6 8 A 7
    UTG calls $1, CO raises to $2, Hero calls $2, SB calls $1.50, BB calls $1, UTG calls $1

    Flop: ($10.00) 7 2 4 (5 players)
    SB checks, BB checks, UTG bets $10, CO calls $10, Hero calls $10, SB raises to $60, BB folds, UTG requests TIME, UTG folds, CO raises to $79.55 all in, Hero raises to $187.25 all in

    In abit of a rush but the way I interpret the hand is...

    1. CO off is irrelevant given your perception of him and his chip stack which if true I would happily get it in with top pair, nut draw, and a gut draw - Implied odds would probably say push if he were the only player in the hand.

    2. I'd think your real focus is on the SB given that you are both deep. I doubt his raise to $60 is tricky in this spot and your getting it all in if you call the $60 anyways (you obv. pushed knowing this). I would personally get away from this hand thinking Im getting it in deep with a flush draw and thats about it. He shows up here with a set, 2 pair, a straight draw, or flush straight draw combo....everything but the flush option puts you in a flip for a deep stack which im not sure is priced right.

    Hypothetically if you raise here pre im thinking you get to see the a turn card with less callers for a much better price + your isolating the CO (see #1).
