Didn't cash, ran into a hand I really don't know how to play in Omaha, had KKA2 in a limit game and the flop was KT7 rainbow, I flop top set and bet then get raised, re-raise till it gets capped after the flop, at this point I am ahead but there are two possible straight draws out there, 3 on the turn gives me hope to scoop as I still have the best possible hand and best low draw, again it gets capped and the river brings and Ace which I just check and call, obviously he made his straight and tells me what a horrible play I made. I didn't argue becaue maybe with all those possible straight draws I should have just called it the whole way since a set is not that strong in Omaha. My holdem instincts took over and I thought I shouldn't let him draw cheaply, maybe in Omaha thats a mistake since everybody draws all the time. Same basic scenario busted me when I was short stacked 7 or 8 hands later, got all my chips in with JJA2 and flop of J73, got a 4 on the turn for the nut low until a 2 on the river made a wheel for someone and I was out. Probably overplayed my sets, live and learn, though I don't think I went out with garbage either.
