you probably lost the minimum.....your luck sucks!

The Highflyer

I would have folded the river. Otherwise looks good.

Don't say this often.........but that's a hand I toss preflop in this spot.

As played, was good other than call on river.......really can't beat anything other than air.

I was about to say

Fold preflop. Aside from your set draw, you only have straight draws to the nuts. Your flush draw can get you into a cooler situation - further, once the board pairs you're soooo beat.

Thanks for the input. The issue with Omaha is variance. I'm becoming a calling station to reduce how much I lose in situations like this where the turn or the river makes your hand turn into mush. I don't regret how I played, but need to learn how to get out of a situation when the board pairs.

laying down big hands takes alot of practice and discipline, it sucks to do and online everything moves SO quickly, I used to lose with alot of set over set situtations before

DrTyore

This is not laying down a big hand.

The issue with Omaha isn't variance so much as realigning your concept of a powerful hand. 2nd nut flush on a paired board is about as strong as top pair in NLHE.

Im not saying it was that big once the turn comes, it sucks to give hands like this up is about all I meant. To some a flush is a big hand.

it's pretty much all been said but fold pre. As played ask yourself what you can beat by the river and muck, if he's taking that line with a smaller flush he's just stupid
