This was the situation. The 2 players that are highlighted won the pot. My nick is JoJo0606.

Now the way i see it i had full house (queens over eights) and they had a straight (Queen high).

This was my first time playing Omaha and i cant understand why i lost and would love to get an explanation from some1 more expirianced. Dont know if im just missing something or if Omaha has diferent rules i dont know.

Tnx

General in omaha you must you 2 from your 4 cards unlike hold'em you can't use one card for str8 or flush. so you had three of kind and other guy had nuts straight.

You can use only two hole cards for your hand.

I had the same problem ♦

You did get your money in while ahead though, just weren't a 50+% favorite due to the huge number of draws.
