Hi,

Well yesterday i started to play Omaha and the following happened:

Full Tilt Poker Game #2588620394: Table Cobalt (6 max) - $0.05/$0.10 - Pot Limit Omaha - 8:32:06 ET - 2007/06/05
Seat 3: simbat3 ($6.95)
Seat 4: vanriff420 ($10.90)
Seat 5: vishal779 ($7.60)
Seat 6: BuckNasty82 ($4.25)
BuckNasty82 posts the small blind of $0.05
simbat3 posts the big blind of $0.10
vanriff420 posts $0.10
The button is in seat #5
BuckNasty82: twice on the flush
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to simbat3 [4d Ad 2c Kh]

vishal779: hmm
vanriff420 checks
vishal779 checks

In Omaha you must use 2 of your hole cards to make a hand.

I assume villian had 2 queens in his hand which would be why he makes a full house and you dont.

Omaha ROCKS. keep trying

No you don't. In this hand you use your AK to make AK777 which clearly loses to his QQ777 because that is three 7s and his is a full house. In order for you to have KK777 you have to use 4 cards off of the board and only one out of your hand.
