    yes and no. Omaha is a game of nuts. Someone usually has the nuts.

    don't raise preflop, that hand is pretty bad for O/8. also, i'd fold the flop, you're probably drawing to two outs. rest is standard, there's nothing wrong with capping two streets with the nut boat, you just got unlucky

    Do you really have to worry about quads that often in Omaha?
