Is this printing money?
My home game is 1-2 Big O and other omaha related games. It's no limit not pot limit and we have lots of guys that call almost everything. We had a straddler to 4 and everyone called so I shipped it with A/A/2/4/J with 1 suited ace for $110. Got 1 caller with 2/4/7/8/9 Board ran out K/Q/9/7/4 and he made a flush. Ok Whatever I lost.
I reload for $200 more and have almost the same situation arise except this guy raises to $10 gets 7 callers and I'm in the BB with A/A/3/5/Q Double suited so I ship it for $200 and he calls with K/K/X/X/X and my aces hold.
My question since there isn't really a Big O calculator I can find how much am I ahead of him preflop in these situations? if someone will call is it worth doing this? I went 1-2 with this system lol.

yeah if they're calling then you're printing lol. i mean at that point you're not really playing poker anymore and you kinda lose almost any semblance of balance, but if they call with these hands and on top of that you can rope in 7 callers? who cares about balance?
AA*** vs KK*** you're ahead 65 to 35. your hand in particular, not knowing his sidecards and assuming you have perfect ds aces you're ahead 70 to 30
other hand is similar but a bit less so because he has a buncha low cards and he can make lows and straights blah blah
Getting all in with AA3 is a good result.
Just wish there was a Big O Calculator so I can see the odds. I did take the least relevant card out of our hands and put it through cardplayer.com odds but would love to see a big O calculator. I estimate I'm about 66-33 favorite or so based on cardplayer.

ya, good call!
btw one thing i'm curious about
how should we enter in villain's range if he has hands ranging from 25789 to KKxx here? like we can't super know exactly what he's going to throw his chips in with (without having seen it first), but do we just throw in some arbitrary % in PPT? because that doesn't seem nearly precise enough for what we want.
so, idk, something like: $L $L $L $L $L, KK***?
then maybe if he shows up with 56789 or 5 broadways you throw that in there too?
I'd just use %. I guess 90% in this case.
