You'd raised pre-flop, so I thought you had a pocket pair... the board of 5-4-2 probably didn't hit that. When I called, I was thinking you had an over pair (best case scenario) and hoped you didn't have the made straight or set (worst case scenarios), but I put you on a pair, maybe two pair, and in that case, my hand of 3-4-J-10 has outs of:
A - 4
6 - 4
J - 3
10 - 3
4's - 2
3's - 3 (though I don't like this draw because it gives an easy straight down)
So, I have 19 outs with two draws , now if you had two pair, my straight or over two pair is good for 14 outs, and with a set, that only leaves me with Aces and 6's, for eight outs (not horrible still).
Omaha is all about escape valves, I had plenty, so I called.. I think we both played it pretty well.
Hrmm.. sorry... for some reason I'm F$#KING TIRED today... damned late nights
I think your push was a good one... the board had straight possibilities, but if I don't have it, then I'm put to a decision, if I do have it, you still have outs, so it's a good move. At a full table - not so much, but head's up, two pair is still pretty huge.

I'm glad to see your thinking..I'm not entirely sure of your definitive answer to my question as to whether I was aggressive..or just reckless?
But I'll take the "we both played it pretty well" to imply that my all in wasn't a super-donk choice.
I appreciate the time and help!

I wished to could have been there to see the "pony" ride that Mark was giving. Never mind, I can imagine it.
Thanks to all for the PMs and posts. I love this community.
