[T50_Omaha8]

Hi, I'm new to the forum. I've mainly played various HE games in the past, but sometimes I've gotten into L or PL Omaha/8. Lately I've decided it could easily become my best game, and I should thus make a real effort to move up through the limits. I decided to start off at $.25/$.50.

I have often wondered about the situation of flopping the nut straight because it tends to lose probably 2/3 of the time. I decided to consult this forum next time such a hand came along, and suddenly I was given this gem of an example:

This is my second hand at the table, so I have no player reads whatsoever. 56% see each flop and $4 is the avg pot.

Omaha Hi/Lo Limit ($0.25/$0.50) - 2006/06/17 - 18:23:41 (ET)
Hero is SB, Villain is MP.

*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Hero [Kd Ah 3d 9d]
3 early positions call, Villain calls, 1 fold, newcomer checks, button folds, Hero completes, BB checks.
Pot: $1.75

*** FLOP *** [Ts Qc Js]
Hero bets, BB calls, 3 folds, Villain raises, 1 fold, Hero reraises, BB calls, Villain caps, Hero calls, BB calls.
Pot: $4.75

*** TURN *** [Ts Qc Js] [9c]
Hero bets, BB calls, Villain raises, Hero reraises, BB calls, Villain calls.
Pot: $9.25

*** RIVER *** [Ts Qc Js 9c] [8s]
Hero checks, BB checks, Villain bets, Hero calls, BB calls.
Pot: $10.75

Let's not focus on the river; I'll explain the rationale behind that call if need be. But should I ever have slowed down? Perhaps not reraised the turn? Any help I could get would be appreciated.
