This is the problem with playing crappy starting hands.

| This hand really has nothing going for it. You cannot flop a set, a wrap, or a nut flush draw. In my limited experience with Omaha, you really need nut outs to go past the flop in a multiway pot. Even if you flop a flush draw with this hand, it's never to the nuts and since you have three clubs, you would have 8 outs instead on 9. |

I'm prolly folding pre-flop. I can make the nut straight but not much else to get excited about in a multiway limped pot.
I'm folding the flop too. My hand might be beat and there will be lot's of draws against me. I can't count on a lot of draws for my own hand though.

it's definitely a fold preflop, but I only had 1 1/2 hours to play so....

Have you read this book called The Poker Mind&%#^? (Or something like that)
I think we can excuse you for limping in a $50 PL game. I think your bankroll can withstand it. It was a terrible hand preflop though. |
