Well I must have had more red wine than I thought because, having checked the hand history, that big omaha hand was a 4-way all-in fest!!!
However, amazingly no-one had AA, KK or even QQ, so suddenly my Q J 10 10 double suited looks huge in the cold light of day.
Action was as follows:
I raise UTG with Qc Js 10c 10s.
Player A calls.
Player B raises to $56 with KJ54ds !!!
Player C raises all-in for $163 with AKJ2 (3 diamonds, 1 club)
I reraise all-in to $349.
Player A jams for $411 with 6789
Player B calls.
According to the CP calculator, pre-flop 6789 is 36% (presumably because 3 of us have each other's outs, and he is only one with hearts in his hand?), I have 24% and the other two hands 18%.
Thankfully the board comes 4 9 8 7 5 and I make the nuts for an almost $1200 pot.
Despite winning I'm not certain about my pre-flop shove and would like to hear opinions on it and the play of the villains.

Huge pot and short-stacking
DGirl's post at PlusOne mentioned short-stacking at 5/10 NL and it's an approach I've had some success with as well.
Only played for about 30 minutes last night on a couple of tables and came up with this perfect example of how it can work in your favour.
It was 10-handed but I've tidied up the HH to include just me and the villain who was sitting with $1270. I had bought in for $300 and was at $293.75.
Dealt to MackemPlus1 [ Ah, Jh ]
SWED100 calls (10)
MackemPlus1 raises (50) to 50
SWED100 calls (40)
** Dealing Flop ** : [ 3c, 5d, As ]
SWED100 checks
MackemPlus1 bets (243.75)
MackemPlus1 is all-In.
SWED100 calls (243.75)
** Dealing Turn ** : [ 2s ]
** Dealing River ** : [ 5h ]
SWED100 balance $976.25, lost $293.75 [ 6c Ac ] [ two pairs, Aces and Fives -- Ac,As,6c,5d,5h ]
MackemPlus1 balance $599.50, bet $293.75, collected $599.50, net +$305.75 [ Ah Jh ] [ two pairs, Aces and Fives with Jack kicker -- Ah,As,Jh,5d,5h ]
This guy limps A6s, calls a raise OOP and instacalled a $243 bet on the flop. Nice.
I also won a huge pot at Omaha Hi with a bit of a drunken PF shove but I'm not sure I'll post that as it probably makes me look like a complete donkey!!!
If I can come up with some dodgy figures to back it up I will....

Well I Wonder*
Firstly, congrats to Lucko on winning yet more MTT's, Kevin's on a sick heater at the moment - long may it continue. I'll almost certainly be buying a percentage of him at the WSOP if he does that again this year. 1% of $10million wouldn't be too shabby.
Secondly, and more relevant to the post title, sometimes you have to wonder just what people are thinking online.
I've played against the villain in this hand at higher than 1/2 and actually thought he wasn't too bad, but then he does this against me - not that I'm complaining.
Party Poker
Pot Limit Omaha Ring game
Blinds: $1/$2
6 players
Stack sizes:
MackemPlus1: $372.46
UTG+1: $126.53
CO: $199.95
Button: $212.83
SB: $219.80
BB: $50
Pre-flop: (6 players) MackemPlus1 is UTG with 6d tc ad as
MackemPlus1 raises to $7, UTG+1 calls, CO raises to $26, Button folds, SB calls, BB folds, MackemPlus1 raises to $120, UTG+1 folds, CO calls, SB folds.
Flop: 9h 3c 6s ($275, 2 players)
MackemPlus1 bets $258, CO calls all-in $86.95.
Uncalled bets: $171.05 returned to MackemPlus1.
So, I've raised UTG but this is 6-max and hopefully I'm not pegged as a strictly "only raises AA" player. Villain therefore re-raises and thankfully the terrible SB calls, allowing me to make a bigger re-raise and get it HU.
Now at this point I pretty much have turned my hand face up, and villain could stack me on the right flop. But wtf is he thinking calling off another $87 on that flop with one pair, no draw????
Turn: 9c ($448.9, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: $448.9)
River: 3h ($448.9, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: $448.9)
Results:
Final pot: $448.9
MackemPlus1 balance 604.41 bet 371 collected 602.95 net 231.95 6d Tc Ad As
CO balance 0 lost 199.95 Ks 6h Jh 7s
Also managed to win a few other hands on other tables, basically by flopping top set, rivering a boat and finding people willing to pay off with their str8s regardless.
Nice to book a solid win for a change.
