you HAVE to use 2 of your hole cards.

So your hand was K7774

It takes awhile to get Omaha. A lot of people misread their hands. I played a live OHL tourney once, and we all quickly got in the habit of never mucking our hands at showdown. It was just too easy to make a mistake.

Eventually, online, reading your hand correctly becomes second nature. Yet, occasionally, confusion sets in.

Mantra: 2 hole cards, 3 on the board.

YOU HAVE to use 2 of your own cards and 3 cards of the deck for your hand!
