imo... and omaha is my favorite game... I believe you started this hand off wrong. Yes your cards are all connected, but a general rule of mine is I rarely play very many hands that contain 3 or 4 of one suit (unless a strong pair is with it). and your case in particular was both low straight and flush draws with that starting hand

That being said, the raise preflop to me was unnecessary but I don't know the table conditions of that game in particular i just know i wouldnt even be calling with that hand let alone raising, but thats just my style.

By c-betting post flop you were implying you wernt on a draw when indeed you were. I know you're building the pot that way, but the problem is your outs make stronger hands for opposing players. So by the turn when the 7s came, not only did J10 have you beat, but any fish (especially online) is going to chase the flush draw, which you didn't have as a plan B with your cards. your plan B was a 9 or a 7... four outs to his eight (or more if he had str8 draws to the river) so you were 8% to improve vs his 16% on flush alone (omitting 9 of spades)... if he had str8 draws on top of that... you're talkin 20%+ to hit... and win

if you were holding the stone cold nuts (J 10) on the turn, i could see the reason for your aggressive bet, but even then ive found its not enough to remove the fish when they see you dont want the flush card to come... I've also learned the nuts arn't until the river. Thats when i get my money in playing omaha, when i know it cant lose.

I just think you played your hand harder than what it was worth to begin with, got yourself committed to a pot I wouldnt even have started. just my .02c
