Hand 1: Muck preflop. It's a terrible hand. You want to be playing hands in Omaha that are connected in some way like 9987, 789T etc. T443, the T is too far away to make anything decent and if you hit the 4 it will likely be bottom set and you don't know where you are.
Hand 2: I am not too sure I like blasting the pot. That Kd brings a lot more draws for people and in a better game you may find the players just mucking those draws for that pot sized bet.
