So I'm new to Omaha hi/low and I'm still getting use to quality starting hands and when to go nuts and when to fold hands.

I wouldn't have played this hand outside of the blinds, but I'm guessing my first mistake was calling.

On the flop I called figuring I could fill up, hit the straight or a flush, and I still have a chance at the low. Now that I've had time to look at it, I've realized most of those hands are 2nd, 3rd, or 7th best hands which probably means I should have folded here.

On the turn I called the first bet because I still had hands that might win, as well as a few outs to hands that were better. I don't think this first call was bad (but I'm open for criticism). I'm pretty sure I should have folded to the 3-bet, and calling the cap is a good play given how I've already [censored] up the hand (I assume).

I think the river call also makes sense, again because I've [censored] up the hand this much already.

Any comments?
