I don't understand omaha

[frankthebunny]

I'm new to playing Omaha and apologize for playing this hand like a donk. The other guy had a really nice hand. I don't understand how I won the pot though.

Hi, five cards are to be considered, three cards from the joint board and two from your hand.

So your best combination is: Q, Q, 10,8,7

Opponent Combination: Flush K, J, 8, 7, 5

Oh I see, I thought you could take 4 from the board and 1 from your hand. That helps a lot thanks!

Love Omaha, harder to understand math, to bluff, big chances to see a few quads a day )

my biggest win x1000 was in Omaha

Omaha is a game similar to Texas, where each player is dealt four cards and must make his or her best hand using

exactly two of them, plus exactly three of the five community cards
