hello, I'm venturing into omaha free, and I came across this 2 pair defeat over a flush, I was confused is it normal in omaha for 2 pairs to win with a flush?

I got the answer from the pokerstars team yesterday they told me it only counts 2 cards in your hand even though you have 4

You must use two cards from your hand every time...even if 1 gives you a full house in the middle.


Never think you are way ahead if holding an ACE and two aces flop. Majority of the time you'll be behind if you don't hit the other card.

If there is a pair on the board and you are drawing to a flush or a straight. Don't get chip happy and assume you have a monster.

This is a ocasionaly mistake from a omaha begginers, in omaha you NEED use 2 cards from your hand, so for example, if had 4 cards spades in the board, and you only have the ace or another spades card in the hand, you don't have the flush...
