Get away from straight?

[Duck Rabbit]

Am I supposed to get away from this straight? Probably not right, since villain is short stacked. If other villain who was deeper raised, I would have folded. And how is my line?

Im not sure why you raised the flop here with your sucker str8 and no draw. However, given the way that you have played the hand up until the raise on the turn, I would think that you have to call. Your play until then is flawed at best, though.

Witout a read I wouldn't give up. Your bet was weak on turn (I would have potted it) and chance that opponent has drawing hand warrants a call here.

Ya raising the flop here is bad just call.

I'm still pretty new to Omaha. So is raising it to protect against a flush draw bad?

if u have the nut straight, u raise to protect it...but 89 has you destroyed here, despite the flush draws

Just ask yourself if you want to make the pot and so the subsequent bets bigger in this situation.
