whoa its a bit unlucky that he hit his 1 outer, i mean obviously he must have known you had a full house at LEAST! with the cards that were on the board so he knew he could only win with 1 card. In my opinion he played awful and got lucky i hope you have better luck in the future.
yea they never have any bad beat jackpots on tournies or sit and goes, and i have never seen one for omaha either, and i understand why, i have seen quads go down often enough in omaha and never in holdem

It is common that people start playing omaha and mix up values of their hands. This afternoon i played on FTP and its not SnG it is cash table, low(est) limits. 3 people raising like mad man on flop having only pair of A`s. ridiculous. Ofcourse rest of us emptied them in no time. And they didnt want to listen. Stupid if you ask me. Even flush is not something which is worth going allin on flop. What you said there SCDosset in other thread about omaha, i wait for turn too and then you can see where that hand is going not before. Flush Royal is tough to get maybe even tougher, i dont know odds, in Omaha but straight flushes are regulars in Omaha. Guy really got lucky but thats charm of Everest poker lots of donkeys and poor players in lowest limits. I play there only when im on bad streak in other poker rooms.
im glad you agree with me, i know many people who want it all in every time they have an edge but i would rather save myself that little bit more and give myself the chance to fold once im drawing dead

Thats why Omaha is such an exciting game. I havent played it in a few weeks, but I do love the game. Im still learning it though and it has cost me alot of money.

Tough luck man, but it is very common in Omaha. I always see Omaha as double the trouble. It has been a long time since I´ve been down that road, but I guess soon enough I´ll play a bit, just so the Omaha strategies don´t rust.

This is really bad beat man. But with this was on the tourney right? Because if it was on a cash table you will be happy to see this and to win the bad beat jackpot
