First omaha post... too aggressive or bad timing?

[devilmollusk]

My notes on this guy say he is LAG and kind of an idiot. I believe this hand bears that out. Clearly I overplayed this, but what do others think? Does this play ever work?

Thanks for the comments. I did not like my play in this hand, and I think I do generally have a leak of drawing to half the pot too much.

A lot of preflop raises contain a 2 so you have to seriously consider that you're drawing to half a pot here. Putting your whole stack in on a DRAW which will only give you your money back even if you hit is generally a very foolhardy play in O8. If you have something for high (as little as an overpair to the board) and you know your opponent will call with a wide variety of speculative hands (including naked low draws) it becomes a much better value play.

However, you're sure to be behing for high at this point and you have no real way of drawing to high (except a vulnerable gutter) even if he has as little as a pair of 9s. So, bad play really. You risked your stack for no real possible profit.

Thanks for the naked truth. Still learning this game and trying to check the agression I apply in hold-em.
