Ok ive been playing a fair bit of Omaha PT Cash Games ($3/$6)

Ok i get dealt

 Kh Kd Jd Aspades

3 Players i Raise Pot

one folds
other raises so i go into raising war and push him all in eventually

so i call

flop is

 Kc   4c 4s

So atm i have Full House

pot is about 1300$

Turn - 6d

River - Jc

He Shows

 4d 4h  Th Td

Wins with 4 of a Kind Against my FH

Yes a bad beat but my question is Should i have raised the pot so many times with just  Kh Kd Jd Aspades

Ive only just started playing PL Omaha so Im not hugely in the know....but the way Omaha is I wouldnt want to be all in pre flop with anything.  Id maybe call his reraise in the knowledge that he has a very strong starting hand.  Im not sure you would get away from it on the flop anyway.

No way should you be raising and reraising preflop here! Omaha is a flop game - see the flop with ahand like this - a pot bet will not neccessarily narrow the field which is what you would really want if potting with this hand! How you both end up in with these hands preflop i dont know!

indeed.

I don't mean this in a bad way but...you have a high pair..and that's all you have. You also have a 2nd nut flush draw. (this is all pre-flop obviously). a small raise pre-flop I can understand but noway should you be reraising all in with this hand IMO.
Having said that..his all in was TERRIBLY SHOCKING play...truly truly awful...I mean...disturbingly bad. when you are holding 2 pair in Omaha you don't have any serious outs.

the hands that I like to play with are pocket pair (1 doesn't matter how high..but middle preffered for a straight option) and the nutflush draw. preferably with my kicker completing a straight posibility for me with one of my pocket pair cards.

so for instance  7d 7h   9s Aspades or something similar.
These hands give you a fair shout at outs on the flop and all that. pocketpairs mean nothingn untill you hit the flop. and to have two pocketpairs and move all in....*shudder*

your hand was better pre flop then his was but both of them were not all in hands.

Classic situation of NLH players trying to play Omaha.
