No idea - havent a clue how to play Omaha, those set of Jacks looked mighty good though, especially against 3 short stacks.

prolly bet half pot instead of chek/raise or check/call. Hat this crap. all same suit. on the turn youll have 10 outs if someone has flush.

Omaha is a nut game, if you aren't playing the nuts, you are a nut.

Basic Omaha strategy:

In omaha you get twice as many cards as Hold'em, therefore you should be playing twice as many hands. Any hand with 3 red cards should be played aggresively pre-flop, because the chances of hitting a flush are 23% more likely than 3 black cards. AAxx is basically a must fold because somebody already has the other aces, so you fold it.

The most powerful omaha starting hand is: Ad Kd 4h 7s
IN THAT ORDER

Because in Omaha there are over 3 million possible starting hands, you should be playing most of them because you won't be seeing that hand for a while.

Note: The following is for internet omaha on Party Poker. Other websites, obviously, require other strategies based on their LoR (Level of Riggability).

What you do is get four cards. Doesn't matter much what they are because nobody really looks at them anyway. Next, they put three cards on the board. It doesn't matter what they are because nobody really pays any attention to the flop either. Then one more card for the turn and another one for the river. Same betting scenario as before. Doesn't really matter much what they are, except, for a few of the players that may have "cheated" and looked at their hole cards. These players may now fold if they have absolutely no outs. (Mostly bad sports.) Now, at the showdown, everybody turns over their cards and helps the dealer figure out who has the best hand. You MUST play two cards out of your hand so this usually takes a while and and the winning hand is usually found out after a little bit of searching by all of the players and a partially confused dealer. The dealer now pushes the pot to the wrong player and everybody yells at him and he smiles glibly and says, "Oh yeah,,,sorry" and then sends it in the right direction. Then, after all of that excitement dies down, everybody lets out a collective sigh of relief and gets ready to wind up and do it all over again. Fun game.
