Re: .50/1 - 2nd Set + flush draw vs pot on turn
Hi again, RedCashion - Keep in mind that my own mind set is primarily for fixed-limit Omaha-8, rather than pot-limit Omaha-8. There are substantial differences in how to play these two seemingly similar games.
In fixed-limit Omaha-8, you would probably do well to fold any hand with two or more middle cards. (Exceptions might be A-2-M-M, A-3-M-M-with-a-suited-ace-in-a-loose-game, or maybe A-A-M-M). Middle cards are sixes, sevens, eights, and nines. Fives and tens are borderline middle cards.
Here you have three middle cards and you're going to be out of position.
I still don't understand the pot-limit game, but in fixed-limit, this hand for absolute certain is a poor choice to play even for a partial bet from the small blind. It seems you also get into about the same kind of trouble (except maybe worse) playing this hand in pot-limit Omaha-8 as in fixed-limit Omaha-8.
