Some hands

[Aisthesis]

Ok, I'm a complete Omaha newbie, so please bear with me. Here are a few hands from a Stars .25/.50 session I just played:

One guy in very big stack ($250 or so) mini-raises every hand he wants to play. Since I don't have PT Omaha, I'll just have to guess that's something like 35% of hands, which is roughly the number I've been playing (I think I keep too many suited Aces with nothing else going for them).

So, I'm in LP and call the mini-raise with something like AQ56 with the ace suited (reasonable?). Flop comes 667 with two clubs. Big stack bets pot, and I just call here (I don't think he has 77, but he could). I guess that's probably already a mistake, right? Best to raise that one?

Anyhow, the turn is a 6, making quads for me. He checks, I check. I figure trapping here is pretty decent. River is just some card, I think it may have been another club, making a flush. He checks, and I pot it. He folds. Should I have maybe bet half pot here?

Now, here's one that worked out quite well. It actually occurs shortly after a hand where I went too crazy over a QQ set on a KQrag board (I got checkraised in LP and should have laid down, but it may have set up this hand).

Same huge stack mini-raiser makes his typical raise, and I call with KQQT. I think at least with a suited KT, but not completely clear on that. I have around $100 still, and mini-raiser has just short of $300.

Flop comes nicely with something like Q86 with two hearts. I decide to check-raise this one, as the mini-raiser likes to pot it if it's checked around. So, I check, he bets pot, and I make a pot-sized re-raise, which, to my amazement, he calls. Turn comes an offsuit K, which does kind of worry me, but I just can't see his calling the check-raise with nothing more than KK (surely he was on a heart draw). So, I pot it again, and he re-raises my last $7 (amazing how fast these things escalate when you keep potting it), which I call. River's a blank, and I win, doubling up (making a pretty nice session going from $50 to $192 after only 65 hands).

Like or dislike my play here?
