offmandh
This is the first hand i will post that i played well (or maybe not?) I think i played it ok, but im not so sure that i did. I very easily could have had the worst hand when all the money went in but i guess i didn't. post your thoughts, id appreciate it.

top and bottom pair is a pretty crappy hand in omaha, espically with a board like that with tons of draws, you may have the best hand now and still not be the favorite, you have no back door draws either

i dont know what the other guy was thinking cuz almost every draw got there but this is .01/.02 so you really cant give other players that much credit

I think that you got lucky; you're behind a lot of possible hands with your two pair.

In Omaha, even short handed, that hand probably loses more often than it wins to the flush or trips.

uh, okay. Your hand is decent for a four handed game, but top and bottom pair suck balls in omaha to be hones. With that board you needed to play itr very carefully, which you didn't. You got very lucky

You WAY overplayed your hand and got lucky. The only thing I can think the villain had is 58XX for bottom two pair. There are so many hands here that beat you it's not even funny. Obviously 55, 88 or 1010 have you drawing slim to dead. Furthermore, any combination draw like OESD and flush draw (9sJsXX) is small favorite over you (55-45). Even a mediocre hand like AsJsQh3h is a literal coinflip since they have so many backdoor draws to beat you.
