$5.50 PL O8: How did I win this Omaha hand???

[PlayedYou73]

Ok, I thought I knew how to play Omaha reasonably well, and thought I understood 'most' of the little nuances of it, but can someone please explain to me how I 'won' this hand? Me and Joseph couldn't figure it out either.

In short:
-No one qualified for low
-Joseph appears to have had the best hand with "6 10 9 Q" on an "8 K 9 K K" board. We both have 3 kings, I paired my 8 while he paired his 9.
-We were both of the opinion his nine should have beaten my 8, and he should have won.
-There were no straight or flushes here.
-But the hand is awarded to me and recognizes we both have "trip kings", but doesn't say anything else.

Can someone tell us what we missed?

you had kkkqj.

he had kkkqt.

remember you have to use 3 board cards and 2 from your hand - you can't say "well i had kkk88 and he had kkk99" because then you'd be using 4 board cards and 1 from your/his hand.

Case closed.

BTW, the speed of online poker often creates this issue in Omaha. I cut my online teeth playing O8, and still find myself reviewing hands to see how I won or lost hands 4 deals ago. One must have faith in the program when playing Omaha, or O8.
