TLR is an unknown quantity at this point
 I reraise turn and call river, you are only beat by 2, and it is an unlikely hand for UTG in Omaha high, I think his turn raise is more likely to be a quality draw then anything that has you beat, something like KQJ with FD

 This is Omaha8, the converter didn't say it.

This game can be so frustrating, Q625 rainbow owned me.

calling down these raises are the easiest mistakes to make in O8, and the thought process from hold'em is....we're getting 9:1, how can we fold???

well, considering that the raiser on the turn raised into TWO people, it's highly likely he's already got the nuts at least one way. add to the fact you're drawing to one side, you're actually getting more like 3:1 to call (i estimate to 40%), which makes the fold a lot easier.

since it sucks to make these folds, like TLR mentioned, C/C is better, then at least you can control the pot with the low on the river if you fill up.

One thing you have to realize about Omaha 8 is that it is much different then holdem in term of preflop-postflop game.
There are no dominating hands in Omaha 8 the way AA or KK dominate in holdem, and a lot of hands run very close in value, the flop is vital in defining your hand.

This does not mean play crap because preflop dont matter, you still need to play only quality starting hands that have a chance to scoop, but you should be more willing to throw away hands after the flop
