First hand is fine (NEVER let an opponent draw on you when you flop the nuts in Omaha), 2nd hand I probably wouldn't have gotten involved with in the first place - low pocket pairs are nothing but trouble, really all you're playing is a weak suited ace. Granted, you did hit your miracle flop, but it is very possible to be beat there still. I'd probably end up getting my chips in the middle on the turn (if I were forced into that position) but I wouldn't want to get in that situation anyway.

Fault always lies in the same place, my fine babies: with him weak enough to lay blame.

i have a soft spot for suited aces and any nut drawing hand in low limit tourneys.

Still not 100% sure I was best to price him out in the first as there were a lot of hands I would be happy for him (at this level) to chase with.

Still thanks for the feedback bud, must give these tourneys a bit more of a try as they are pretty good fun.

omaha is a drawing game ,as you know. if he was sitting on a diamond draw and hits the turn,then you have just gone from a 6k win to begging for the board to pair to avoid a huge loss... and being that he is c/l , he just might take a draw if the bet isnt high enough
