Hand from FTOPS2 (limit HORSE)
I felt a little out of sorts here. I got differing opinions on what I should have done here so I thought I'd ask the O/8 forum!
HORSE MTT
1036 starters, 56 paid out. We're way far from the money, this is level 7. Blinds are 50/100, limits 100/200.
Reads: Seat 5 had been aggressive but other than that I thought the Omaha field wasn't that strong.

My first thought is that with 2 callers and a raiser, I'm likely up against a couple of low hands, meaning that the deck is heavier in high cards. If the flop comes low, I can get away from this, but if it comes high, I have a good chance to scoop with my straight cards and pair of Jacks (which is admittedly mediocre, but I think I can play them). The other thing is that I'm likely closing the action. I can't really see UTG limp/reraising.

Interesting flop. Again, I put the players on lowish cards so I lead hoping to take down the pot, but in retrospect I'm sure the flush draw will come along. A wrap draw could be out there too.

Button raises to 300 Oh crud. Am I now up against KKxx? That's about the worst possible scenario for me here.
SB folds
Jedi calls 200 Should I have folded here? The pot is getting big and I still have middle set vs. what I had believed are low hands. I still think I'm up against mainly a flush draw and a wrap draw.

Jedi calls 200 Well, this sucks, but I think I have to call here, given that it's only 1 bet. The flush draw didn't get there. The wrap draw didn't get there. The backdoor low got there, but how likely is that (unless he ALSO had spades)
UTG folds WTF???
