So I was letting my bud play for me in omaha. Here is the hand:

I had Q Q x x,

the flop came x x Q with 2 clubs. My friend bet the flop with top set.

Turn came came another club

The opponent bet the pot (about $0.90). My stack was at about $2.00 and the pot was about $0.90 or so. The opponent had me covered. I figured I had 10 outs (any pair to the board) and gave myself 4:1 to catch a card (it was a little worse than that). I told my friend he was getting bad odds to call but after a couple minutes he made the call.

The board paired on the river and my friend went all in and got called by the nut flush. I picked up over $3 from the pot.

Even though my friend won the pot, in the long run, would calling there be profitable?

Sorry I dont have the hand history, it's not listed on the last 100 hands.

so there was $1.10 left to win and the pot was $1.80 and we had to call .90?

that means .90 to win $2.90, it' close but it looks like a fold esp. if the villain will c/f a flush if the board pairs.

Even though it was more than 1/4 of my chip stack?

i mean I'd love to answer your question properly but your original post and that one make little sense. Try recreating the HH with pot-sizes on each street and stack sizes, shouldn't take more than 1-2 minutes.

Not much money to win there, so it goes either way. Call or fold either is ok.

Knowing that the flush is probably already made,I think his mind was already made up hoping 4 a river card 2 match.For 1/4 of ur stack to see the river is a move I don't make 75% of the time..it depends on a # of things(mood,donkey play by better..gut feeling..etc.) but it was low stakes so I probably woulda called also.
