Im trying to learn how to play this game, so I'll have quite a few questions and HA I want to go over. I have never read an omaha book or strategy guide and am really trying to learn based on trial and error and any tips given to me on here. Forgive me if these are really basic and completely obvious decisions.

...I dont know if this bet is a good idea. I do have an over pair to the board and there is a straight draw, but at the same time this could've hit anyone strong.

...Im thinking this is an easy fold since my opponent can easily have 2 pair, set, or possibly top pair + draw.
