Hand 1: ZOMG AAxx REPOT. Not a big winning play long term but your opponent is so retarded that it worked out. I just call and play set here because so many worse hands will give you action. Set over set (or 2 pair) is about the best edge you'll get in Omahahahahahaha High like a kite.
Hand 2: Not excited about getting all the money in on the turn. Semi-bluffing the turn is a feel thing and I haven't played this game in a while.
Hand 3: You got the nut straight AND middle set. Nice 4 card hand to get it in with. |

hand 1
repotting preflop is fine here because you don't just have AAxx. you got AAQQ and a suited ace.
On the flop, I suppose you have to lead out, and i don't like such a huge bet. Lead $20, and you'll get the same result anyway.
hand 2
you're not representing anything credible here. Better to check and raise if neccessary based on stack sizes.
hand 3
ship it |

Thank you for your comment. I like Omaha so far, but it's costing me..
In one session I lost the three buy ins posted here plus another four similar and one where I tilted a bit..for a total of -400$ (8x 50$). Thats more buy ins than I ever loose on hold'em NL cash games in a session!
Still I build from 0-500$ quite easily on the 25$ level and now have to step down again I guess to rebuild.
A few questions if you don't mind:
 Should I press hard with top set on the flop without any redraws?
How should I play KKxx hands where xx isn't any use? (like KK52)
Is it really a good idea to raise with AAxx unsuited at all?
How hard do i generally need to hit the flop to push in this game?
Do you play top two pair aggressively and how do you continue when reraised? |

1) yes
2) fold
3) depends. If it's a shorty, or you can get close to 1/3 your stack in then yes. Otherwise play only for set value.
4) You need reads. They're more important in Omahaha.
5) Top 2 yes, probably getting it in. Top/bottom, maybe peel one looking for safe turn. Bottom 2 is garbage against any resistance.
Plug your hands in if it goes to showdown and check equity. One thing that helped me:

Thanks 
Could you say a bit more about why you fold KKxx? Why not play for set here as well as for AAxx? |

KKxx and QQxx with cards that don't help your big pair are kind of like small pairs in hold'em. They're good to take a cheap flop against opponents that give too much action.
Just remember you're looking for TOP SET. |
