I got similar more than winning position maybe 9 or bad and good 1 or 2. By the way I didn't agree with you reraise since there is flush possibility . Just call, or maybe fold ( maybe real expert do that )

I don't know much about Omaha, having not played it alot, but it seems pretty standard. OTF you were free-rolling, but because you had 3 to a suit, you had lower odds. He just got lucky and caught runner runner. Happens a lot in omaha.

If you play Omahahaha you have to life with such swings. You hade a very good drawing hand, but he had flopped the nuts and had a few backdoor outs on top of that.
Lost 1 buyin for this level is nothing if your using bankroll management, also this is standard for omaha, i play alot of omaha and when this happens to me i dont quit i just reload swings and round abouts comes to mind,
try omaha high and low if you think that hand was hard on you, you will prob quit poker for ever after playing that so many swings and badbeats

From my experience,you get winning cards for a while,than you get monster card to loose on river and get broke..Is nothing you can do,when you feel the swich just wait for a while to came back the smiling face of the server Good luck

I've been getting so many ups and downs lately i even lost count. I can see why your getting frustrated thou... playing in that higher level with your new bankroll. Maybe would be a good idea to step down for a bit and play in the low leagues again till your luck changes. The pressure of showing results might be starting to get the best of you.

I try it at Stars again and again but the suckouts there in the last years are awesome. The pokerschools say you are a winning player when you do the right things lonterm, but it is not the truth. To much manicas with to much "luck", or better we call this "donk protection"...

to be honest this was a typical omaha hand- omaha is a game of nuts, so if you're drawing to something else other than nuts = you are nuts it's a swingy game (no not swingers) so you have to accept this and use it to your own good- when you're on a roll u can have a shot or two at higher limits, when u'r loosing just stick with the min reload...gl- u'r a good player, so things will turn your way

Try to avoid pot plays when the flop has two suited cards. In your case it was the diamonds that came up at the end, but there are lots of players chasing till river. Could have been a full house too Anyways, better luck next time.
