you need to think about 4 card hands (which should be 6 hands or more), not two card hands. You should not think of Omaha as hold em with two more cards.
899T will flop good more often than KK82 although KK82 will be a lot easier to play when you hit it. You'll probably prefer 89TJ to either.
Until you get more experience I would play very tightly during small blind levels and more or less have the nuts or be drawing to them.
As the blinds go up you can gamble pre flop with pairs or rundowns or a hand like 99TJ. AA hands are almost always ahead pre flop, but vs a good rundown esp with live suits it is pretty close to a flip. Even AA vs KK is usually around 2/1. Hands generally are much closer pre flop than in Hold Em.
Even more than in HE SNGs, your big wins in Omaha SNGs when the blinds go up will be everyone folding pre flop.
