I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on the basic strategies of Omaha, but every once in a while I get a starting hand that kind of baffles me. So here is one of those:
With all these callers giving me 9 to 1 odds on my call, I made the call. The suited connectors look good, but losing the flush outs and the straight outs seems to hamper possible success with this hand. But then again, there are possibly more ways to win with this hand since pairing any of these cards along with one connector card above or below also produces straight possibilities.
So I'm pretty sure pot odds dictate making this call from the SB in an unraised pot, but would this hand be a playable hand from any other position or if a raise had come from UTG?

If a raise had come from under the gun, in Omaha Hi/Lo, this should be an automatic fold. In fact, if a raise came from any position, it's a fold.
Cheap Toaster, thanks for the comment.
Yes, it was definitely hoping for a prayer that the flop came all high, but no such luck. It was a King with 2 low cards, so I checked and folded.
My thinking with the raise coming from the UTG was that in this position, if I call, I most likely will not be re-raised. But I would have needed the same players to have called the initial raise to produce decent pot odds. Most likely though, they are not calling, so this would have been an easy fold.
Thanks again.
Quiet frankly, I never play this hand, as you have all the "out's" in your hand. Kinda like getting trip's in your hand. You can't make the best hand, as you have the card's needed in your hand, and not in the deck.
