Help me with this Omaha hand

I am a total donk at Omaha which means I don't know if I was unlucky here or not. Opinions?

I sense that when you wine and dine me in London, conversation will not flow freely.

limit omaha has to be freaking obnoxious...whoever is winning on the flop is prolly gonna get beat by the army of limpers and callers

Yea as shiaty as it is , i don't re-raise the river either. someone smooth calling the turn only to raise the river = they are trying to maximize the $ to be made. I would have been thinking kk at that point , but k8 works too.

Other then that , you played it about as percfectly as you could , and yes you did get unlucky but maybe not too unlucky. You have to assume that if someone is shareing trips with you , they potentiolly have 9 outs to make a higher boat.

example

you 2358
them 8jkq

flop 588

they are drawing to 3 k 3 j 3 q - if they had 3 overs to the 5 , which is very likly Sad So in all acuality , they had proper pot odds to chase the higher boat lol. Limit omaha , crazy game.


*edit*

err , looking at the oteh guys hand ........ 238k ......... yes , yes you did get unlucky lmao. he hit a 3 outer on the turn Rolling Eyes
