I have just started trying to play omaha so I thought I would start out learning how to play it for play money.

Besides how bad I played the hand since I'm new to omaha just wanted to know how I lost the hand?

In Omaha, you can only use two of your four cards in the hole to complete your hand. So if the board is reading four spades, and you only have one spade, it isnt a flush. You would need two spades in your hand. Same deal with straights.

Thanks for the clarification

now that you know that there is no reason to discuss this hand since you will look back on it and realize what was wrong...

YEAH

For all the online players do you just play at home on a desktop, or do you play anywhere on a laptop? Just wondering i'm getting a laptop soon and don't know if I want to put my real money account on it mostly for losing connection sake.

anywhere there is a connection. when you are talking about losing
connection I assume you are talking about a wireless connection.
just make sure the connection is secure. Dont sit outside your neighbours
hosue and try to use theirs and you should be fine

Yes I was talking about a wireless connection.
