$2 PLO 6-max: Checking My Line/New to Omaha

I'm not BRAND NEW to Omaha, but I don't have a lot of experience with it either. I'm wanting to give it a serious try. Tonight was my first time playing Omaha in many months.

I'm pretty sure this is a nice starting hand, especially multi-way? I felt like just calling and ending the action pre was the right play.. does that seem standard here?

On this flop I just wanted to get all the money in the middle. I wasn't going to just let a free turn card fall, but didn't want to bet so much that I folded out all the other players.. I was surprised that I got all the action I did.

Is my line ok here? Like I said, I need work on my Omaha game for sure, starting with this hand because I think it's an easier situation.

Other than Ts your flush draw is almost never good but it doesn't matter, with a clean 12-out wrap and backdoor diamonds you're never folding. I'd just pot it myself as SB/BB should basically never have a set or something here that they checked.

you could have 4 bet pre as well you hand is rather strong, but this line seems alright to me, i would have bet closer to the pot on the flop thou

Thanks to you both.

Honestly your hand is strong enough to 4bet pre to GII. You might get higher FDs to fold if their other cards are crap. But I don't mind the call. After that flop, it's an easy snap with the spade blockers + wrap + backdoor diamonds

Don't be surprised. With 50bb in the pot on the flop, it's difficult to have a hand that does not have the odds to get it in here.

I don't mind your line. I think 4 betting pre at these levels is a bit spewey so I don't mind flatting the 3 bet and seeing the flop. I prefer a c/r the majority of the time here, but leading is fine I guess. Obviously we gii when raised. NH
