In my opinion this game is very situational. It is certainly fine to suggest that losing a big pot on a hand as weak as two pair is bad in omaha, but to some extent it could be a bit lazy to do so... I think I make a lot of my money on this game by being able to read the betting patterns of online players in the fairly straightforward games I play and making the right decision. If he had a draw here, as I was 95% sure he did, I'm a fairly significant money favourite. It does indeed look a little maniacal to make plays like this, but I stand by it because I make a lot of money with this style and the odd setback, whilst frustrating, is par for the course when you're trying to push fairly marginal edges and judgement calls.
Anyways, thats my take on it

You lost $120 by playing top two pair and inside straight draw. Isn't that a little loose?

Although just about 5 minutes I received AKJT at stars, found KJ5 rainbow on the flop, re-raised a weak leader and lost a $120 pot as he had KK
... But mostly that's not going to happen Obviously on the flop your hand plays itself. Good job, and nice pot. And get both those guys on your best friends list... Although I know from experience, on the right tables, people who'll call a pot sized bet with 3 outs seem to be very common in omaha!

Preflop: Hero is Button with

, ![[Qd]](https://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/Qd.gif "The Queen of Diamonds")
. 4 folds.
I raise it to $2 after 3 limpers to me. The SB raises it to $8 total. One limper calls. I have a full stack, limper is slightly lower and SB has me covered by a couple bucks. Do you always call here? What if there wasn't a limper, do your do anything besides call and look for a good flop?
Flop:

(3 players)Perfect flop. About $19 in pot and I have $17. Its checked to me, and there no question, I go all in. SB goes all in and limper calls.

(3 players)I hope for no back door flush draw and see the chips slide my way.
SB had AAQ2 ds and limper had AT94ss.
Any comments? I'm really passive preflop in omaha (I'm aggressive in HE) and I'm probably limping with a lot of raising hands. This is a pretty standard play? I knew exactly what the SB had so I just hope for a good flop and move on if I miss?
