Ok so this happened to me twice in about 4 hands and I'm confused about how I would extract the most money from this.

So here is the hand. The table is fairly loose. I don't have exact stats though as I have to win enough money to buy pokertracker omaha .

Seat 1: momoneyaces1 ( $8.15 )
Seat 2: tomtetomte ( $62.64 )
Seat 6: Outridercrc ( $51.31 )
Seat 7: m1a12001 ( $18.55 )
Seat 9: cooknpoker ( $15.15 )
Seat 10: greek521 ( $4.35 )
Seat 4: garycarson1 ( $20.20 )
Seat 8: Pat691 ( $30.40 )
Seat 5: slickmop ( $25.25 )
Seat 3: IWYCD ( $24.18 )

How could I have played this better?

bet pot on flop or try for a check raise. that min bet does nothing and is worthless. You aren't gonna grow a pot that way. It just lets your opponents draw cheap to try and bust you. You'll learn the hard way about slowplaying in omaha. They don't have anything since they folded the turn so you were never gonna get anything out of it. It sucks to wait so long for such a hand and get nothing, but it happens often.

I often like to bet slightly less than the pot (say, half pot) on those sort of flops against very weak opponents. Ideally you don't want to give anyone with an overpair a free shot at their 2 outer but you don't want to force someone with a 2 out when they could make a lower boat and really pay you off. That said, I think anyone with a 2 isn't going to lay it down on a 25 buyin table so a full bet is probably required. I can't see you getting action off any other hand on a rainbow 22K flop.

Here is what I was thinking with the stupid little bet. Anytime I see that type of raise happen I usually figure the raiser is too scared to bet big but wants to show strength. Alot of the times when this happens and I still have to act (with at least a decent hand) I will pot it and most times take down right then and there. I was hoping that someone would try that with me since I was in later position and might be trying a weak steal. I figure if I pot this it is pretty obvious that I have either a 2 and K or KK. It probably makes sense to just pot it and hope someone thinks that I'm bluffing.

Now If I pot it and then get reraised should I cut my loses because it is really likely the other person has the KK?

Just thought that I would mention that the time before that I got this type of hand (second nuts full) I went for a checkraise preflop and no one bet and then I potted the flop and everyone folded to me. I figure at least with a 25 cent bet I will get 50 cents or more out of some people and still might induce a bluff to take it down.
