There is no low hand showing. I could have been dominated by KA, 2 s at a draw, 2 pair, or all 3 of those things. I felt it was too big a risk.
I don't know what they have to say
It makes no difference anyway.
Whatever it is...
I'm against it.

Later in the same tournament, this guy bet all-in with a nut flush draw. I wish I had known that when I played this hand.

That's one of my points. My hand could have been dominated. But because I'm not an avid omaha player, I am looking for a second opinion to tell me if it was easily dominated.

And no way to get there. Good fold.

Not too many ways that starting hand can work out for you.

One thing about Omaha is that if you're not drawing towards the nuts, you shouldn't be playing the hand. I gaurantee he had nut straight and was elminating flush drawers.
