Like it or not?

Before i can commnet whether I like it or not, I want to hear your reasoning for doing this? Surely, you must put him on AAxx the vast majority of the time and tell me your rational behind shoving the turn; shoving and closing your eyes to hope for a fold is not good rational!

I like it against a opponent that has access to the fold button, cause in this spot we want our opponent to fold even if we've got a nice draw with 15 outs. Unfortunately, a opponent that opens a ton and plays pretty loose is more often looking for a reason to call than a reason to fold..

I love it.

Now I am new to Omaha but,

We have 17 outs.

But I think I would have raised the flop not just called. Your paired up on board, have a BD flush, and a open end str. Put the pressure on him, reraise that!

Alexandre, it was UTG who opened, but I'm playing vs. SB now.

With my flop call and turn shove I'm basically repping a flopped straight. It might also be a rundown of some sort, but if I continue after the flop it's very likely that I have straight draw with a pair or even two pair. And when the turn brings a backdoor flush possibility it should be very hard for him to continue unless he has AA65, AA74 etc. himself - I mean even if he has AA with a nut flush draw on the turn, he's a big dog against two pairs or a straight.

I like it. It'll be hard to call with AA here.

Preflop calls are on the marginal side, but since you've got the button its probably alright.
