I called preflop with the intention of cracking AA and winning a big pot... Did I play the rest of this hand well? Is my preflop call justified?

pretty bad play all around

I don't understand how you call after putting him on AA. What is going to come on the flop that is going to make you think you are getting the odds to crack AA? You're other cards are low, so to beat AA, you'd need low cards to come, low cards would most likely give him the low side of the pot (assuming he has AA like you guessed).
I mean if he has AA, then he could have AA2 or AA3, in which case you are most likely calling off another 7 big bets in the hope of splitting a pot with him.

Pre-flop - your hand is horrible. You shouldn't have put in the quarter and you certainly shouldn't have put in 1.80

Flop - I guess you are already in for $1.80, you may as well call. Of course, this is a crying call. You can't be happy with this, but then again, you played bad starting cards so this is about as good as you can expect.

River - Given the action, 99% of the time you are losing here. Again, if you call it's a crying call.

Keep playing like this and you'll definately blow whatever bankroll you have. Really, this hand is a train wreck.

Sorry if I'm coming off like a dick. Not trying to offend, but if a friend of mine showed me this, I'd have to give him some tough love.

Yea your not coming off as a dick, I asked for the hand to be judged. The reason I call after putting him on AA, A2, or AA2 is because if the right flop comes out for me I could win a decent pot and if not it's an easy fold.

On the flop I hit 2 pair and after he leads out w/ a pot sized bet and Jorava folds even though i'm fairly certain I have the best hand I just call since I re-raising isn't getting rid of A2/AA/A234 and I want to keep the pot size small in case the turn is ugly.

10 hits on the turn and his check let me know that I for sure have the best of it maybe I should of lead out here with some kinda bet but I still feel that A2/AA/ would call anyways and I don't want to play a guessing game for the rest of my stack should the board pair and he leads out w/ a big bet on the river

The 9 on the river is a great card for me in my opinion because I beat A2/AA/A234 etc. etc.... If he has a set of KK's or 10's i'm positve he would of bet the turn to get rid of any straight draws and his bet of 6.40, roughly half the pot I think, seems like a crying attempt to take down a pot he knows he can't win in a showdown.

Against 4 random low cards you are 50.03 vs 49.097 favorite. You should fold pre-flop.

Against a top 20% hand you are a 45.21 vs 54.79 dog. You should fold pre-flop.

Against an AALL hand you are a 37.86 vs 62.14 dog. You should fold pre-flop.

Against a AALB hand you are a 43.43 vs 56.57 dog. You should fold pre-flop.

Against 4 broadway cards you are 55.65 vs 44.35 favorite. You should fold pre-flop.

You (like the other posters have suggested) don't understand O8b in general and are setting yourself up to get stacked in a PLO8b game.

I think you should post here on P5's to let us know when and where you will be playing PLO8b. We could come to & sit in wth you at the table, if the wait list is not to long...

Oh my god...

Mistakes

1)Hand is borderline unplayable preflop

2)Playing marginal hands out of position in omaha is terrible to an extent I can't even begin to describe... vs. a raise no less.

3)Flop is absolutely no good for your hand*

4)You can only beat a bluff on the river

*If you are unsure why playing a naked top/bottom 2 pair on the flop is huge long term -EV in omaha, spend some serious time stupdying flop games.

yeah preflop I think thats a loose call. Personally if I hit that flop I would have to raise to drive out or at least tax any low draws and push allin on the turn. Thats why I probaly wouldn't get involved preflop because this kind of hand is probaly going to have to be protected if you hit.
