What do you do: Fold or Call all-in ?
I'm very sure Villain has a set.
If I'm up against a flush draw and a set it works out that I'm about 36%, Set is about 36%, Flush draw is 28%.
So if I call,
36% - I'm a bit better than 1 in 3 to be chip leader with twice the stack of the 2nd placed player.
28% - I'm chip leader with 100k
36% - I'm out in 6th
If I fold I become the short stack.
Here's what happened ...
PookieGirl2 calls 42,180, and is all in

if you fold, yes you are short stack, but not in dire straits short stack and i would have played this as a bubble hand. get to final table and then see if you can catch a speeder.

i fold and i prolly wouldnt have raised pot when you did either,but i tend to play real soft in omaha.I wouldve folded only because of the fact you have no redraws any diamond you have to believ your dead any pair on the board too
I kind of agree with onefast10, i would probably have folded pre-flop with that hand. I play a lot of PLO and middle pair with 2 lower cards is most often trouble. I guess you could have been lucky if the board would have been paint and had given an excust to fold to a bet . . . I see your kind of hand like pocket jacks in NLHE, not very strong but difficult to laydown pre-flop.
That being said, your read post-flop was correct and it was down to dumb luck for the other to hit his boat. If i would have played that hand, i would most likely have played it the way you did. However, i would hesitate to play such a hand in that situation.
you go over the top.....
jugger goes overtop you
pas goes all in
I would have folded
especially since you had a read on jugger with a set.
a set gives him ~8 outs for a boat or better. (three-3's, three-6's, one-4, & runner runner pair(~one out equivalent)
Fold and live to play another hand
Well , I don't see myself betting that much on a straight on that
flop , but if I did I would have to fold there , I can always get
myself back in it as a short stack and make a good comeback
and make a run at it , if I'm out I'm just out , gl
