Huh? Then someone mis-called this guys hand. I didn't catch it then. I better go back and review my Omaha rules.

from what i've learned today, you are limited to and must use 2 of your hole cards to make your hand! :D

His hand, using 2 from his hand and 3 from the board is:

KKQJT. He would need a King or an 8 ALONG WITH one of the cards on the board (9,T,Q, J) for a straight.

You will see so many beginners think they have a flush when there are 4 on the board and they have one in their hand. Another one to watch out for is this scenario:

Your hand: AK89

Board: AAQQ2

You do NOT have a full house. Your hand is AAAKQ. For anyone to have a full house in their hand, they have to either have AQ or 22 in their hand (If they had AA or QQ, they have quads, so who cares).

I recommend getting on your favorite poker client and doing a bunch of Play Money Omaha just to see how the final hands are decided. Don't use it for strategy too much, because...well...IT'S PLAY MONEY!

Good luck!

i don't think i will forget to use 2 of my hole cards. this fact has been drilled into my brain now.

as for doing some test runs, i'm way ahead of you on that thought, i will definitely be putting my hold-em habit aside for the week and playing omaha on UB instead.

So, i played and lost about 10,000 play moneys! many times i would just call right down to the river just to see how things usually play out so i could get a feel.

today i'm breaking out the old SS2 and reading that during lunch.

I just got a great book, Championship Omaha by T. J. Cloutier. I should start reading it by this weekend. I am just finishing up re-reading SS2 Omaha section.

I liked it. Informative but I felt lacking a little information that this other book I hope will cover.
