hey hoppy - yup hand played fine m8.
you cant raise pre oop with such a bad hand, and you certainly shouldnt be betting or calling on the flop.
Although A994 looks nice to a hold'em player, its relly quite a poor hand in omaha, tho worth making up the sb to flop a set.
Mid table id be raising or calling with something like J1099 or 9987 but A994 just isnt good enough. With any pairs really you should be looking to hit a set or fold - even QQ KK etc usually arent good enough to take a pot down on their own.
With so many hands out there in omaha, you really need to be looking for 4 cards which work together. 9987 is great because if you hit a set you might have a str8 draw, etc.
Also be aware that the gap in a str8 hand makes a difference - for instance T987 is much better than J 987, because more of the str8s it make are nut str8s.
