Always hard to let AA go, but at some point it's getting obvious that they aren't worth it.

Normally those pair of twos, would have helped the pocket AA's win the hand with a higher two pair. But this was not your run of the mill normal hand. I say it is hard enough getting four of a kind in Omaha, much less getting the smile of knowing you have it in a game of NL Hold em, and someone called the old allin. Nice payoff.

Sweet hand made all the better by your opponent having a monster. He must have been wondering what was going on.

Maybe read the HH over again. Villain shoves 2x pot (eff.) on turn into the nuts.
(mbn, praying you'll get paid off while turning quads, only to have villain lead out with an overshove.... ez game )

really easy game when it works that way

gl at the tables,

Yeah, you might have got a little lucky here sotek. I personally wouldn't have shoved the turn. But it worked out for ya, you got paid off. Gotta love quads!
