Short handed play is not all luck. Blinds are huge but so are the mistakes made. Players fold when they shouldn't and sometimes call when they shouldn't. Both can be equally cataclismic(is that a word?) in the long run.
Any healthy stack, who can play a good game, agreeing to a deal is usually throwing money away. Just talking about online poker here as not enough exp. to talk about the live game with any authority.

Oh no no no, you need to raise pre-flop with your good hands at omaha. Else win a heap of small/medium pots with your monster hands instead of hugey wugey ones.
A smaller raise to build the pot when you hold a premium starting hand is preferabble.
The problem with raising the max pre-flop is it can be counter productive. First and foremost it gives your hand away when you have aces, none but the most fishy will pay you off when you hit top set. Plus it can get you pot commited before the flop. Gamblers play pre-flop omaha, if you want to make money in this game, it's there on the later streets.
I would have raised to about 10 pre-flop. A pretty starting hand doesn't mean squat after the flop. You know that already though. When you don't connect and he bets into you lay it down. Yeah he might have squat coz you're heads up but so do you really. Quit risking your stak on an overpair.
His play was bad sure calling all-in with a K high flush draw, but yours wasn't great either. Sure this time it looks like the right play as he was on a non-nut draw and you set him in, most times someone bet into obvious aces, however, they hold at least 2 pair, perhaps a set. You certainly don't want it all in the middle with 2 outs.
Raising 10 instead of the max you'd probably get more callers, but that's fine, lay it down on the 3 out of 4 flops that don't hit you but on the one where you flop the monster, someone will pay off nicely.
Many may disagree with the above, but this is how thetank plays the game.
