First off I rarely ever play this game.I am almost positive the answer is fold though.Reason being you hold your outs in your hand since you can only use 2 of your hole cards.I'm pretty sure when playing omaha you have to have a very strong hand in order to win a showdown.What strong hands can you possibly get with quads?You can't get a set,flush,or straight.The best you can hope for is a full house if 3 like cards come on the flop,which is not likely.

Now that I've typed this I have convinced myself that folding is the only option.Anyone else with more experience in this game will probably tell you the same if they chime in.If not then I was wrong and it wouldn't be the first time.

Fold always -- even if you have trips in the hole. These are horrible hands. Only exception I occassionally make is something like AAAK with suited ace or KKKQ/KKKA with suited king.

It's really sad when you play a game (that is not a lowball game) where quad 2's is the worst starting hand lol

fold fold fold, unelss your on the big blind and you check with quad aces, the flop comes 2,2,2 it is checked around, then turn is a 2. Then you can feel confident since you would be holding the nuts with two's full of aces
