Your raise screams AA, so you're only getting called if you're beat. BTW, I like Villain's handle. Did he type "Youuuu DICK!!!" in the text box???? (Only makes sense if you've seen Fast Times at Ridgemont High)

Yeah but this is one of the reasons I'm enjoying shortstack play. He knows he's not going to be able to get tricky and reraise me off, however I think that move is currently above this particular villain. He has to have a hand that can beat aces, but also that was strong enought to flat call in the SB with and at the same time coordinated well enough with that flop to want to continue against me. I think I'm in a good spot, but I'm not sure if potting it is best.

I think it's OK to pot it. If he calls, you're beat. If not, you take the pot right there. You're likely ahead 1/2 the time. He's calling your PFR with connecting cards, probably bigger ones (since this is just high, not high-low), or maybe KKxx.

Yeah, I'm no omaha pro, but I prefer check-raising all-in on this flop. Plenty of idiots will bet their KK, QQ type hands here.

Or you get the odd guy with A578 who thinks he has a straight.

I like it, I think the double backdoor nfd's help your equity some too which is nice.

I'm no pro. But everytime I have had AAxx in Omaha. I lost everytime. People call with QQxx or 33JQ. I have beat em a couple times too. All cards are possible ( I think) in this game!

The hand is played fine. Very standard. Considering the flop, you haven't won the hand by any stretch, so betting aggressively with AA for the hi and nut low draw is good strategy to pick up the pot.

What I'm trying to say is, it's similar to a semi-bluff, as in you can win the pot right now, but if you're called and hit your low, you're also in great shape. Not to mention double backdoor flush draws as mentioned by Mirage.
