You have the 2nd nuts, but there are a lot of cards that beat you on the river (4, 5, 8, 9, T, spade means 22 cards can pose a river problem). Shovel.

I'm going to sound like a broken record here, but fold PF. If you're going to play this hand from UTG, I have a hard time imagining what hands you'd fold. You have 4 cards below 8, not all connected, and 3 of them are the same suit. This hand has such a poor risk/reward ratio, and playing it from UTG makes it even worse.

^^Good advice.

This is a hand with 3 things going for it - suited - connected and a pair. If you're playing full ring, I agree, it's a fold UTG, but man, you sound like your vpip would be about 10%, and at 6max, that will get you killed. I'm confident enough in my postflop play that I'm not ever going to get stuck in this hand for a lot of money unless (like here) I'm ahead and they're paying to draw at me. I'm good enough not to draw to ass end straights or low flushes.

The suited is a point against the hand, not for it. You have 3 diamonds but can only use 2 of them, which means there's one less out for you to hit your flush. And if you do hit it, you'll have at best a 7-high flush, which is almost completely worthless in Omaha. The chances of going anywhere valuable with the connectors are also very slim. The only thing this hand really has going for it is the pair, which isn't even that fantastic.You said yourself that you're not going to draw to ass end straights or low flushes, which pretty much leaves 77 as the only "valuable" part of this hand.

Say the flop is A36 with two diamonds. We get it all in there, and the guy has AAxx. My diamonds don't serve as my "primary" draw, but they sure as shit might help me back in to a hand. I'm not calling with this hand based solely on diamonds, it has huge combo draw potential.
