Its getting light in the morning, one of the players who has dropped a heap, buys another 200, sticks it out before cards are dealt and says "right thats staying out till it gets called"

We were playing 4 handed omaha with no blinds but a $5 ante.

What is the sort of hand to call with to hopefully be 60/40 vs his random hand?

4 big cards?
medium pair + 2 big cards?
xxxx double suited?
(jj+)xx ?

I know AAxx is a favourite but cant afford to wait for that as the dude is now accrueing an additional $15 per uncalled hand

Does this hand / range even exhist or do i need to settle for a gamble that will be closer to 50/50 rather than 60/40?

Any hand is usually good at this point. Pairs, runs, suited, double suited. You really need to go to the flop and see what kind of texture on the board. He will fire a bet, you can fold, or reraise if you have a good whiff of it.

I would avoid badugi type hands though. not much you can win with [kh 9s 5d 2c].

The way it reads he is shoving blind, but its pot limit right? so you can see a flop with lots of stuff for $15 and see what happens.
