I think you should fold on the flop. (The preflop call i am not sure about). My reasoning is as follows: On the flop 3 people are in the hand infront of you, it isn't unreasonable to assume that at least one of them has a set and/or another one has a made a straight. So in essence you are drawing to the flush. For your low is very weak, and you are drawing to the third nut low. Between all those opponets it is very easy for one or more of them to have a2,a3.

Hope this helps.

Easy call preflop. On the flop, i'm not sure why you are calling? You don't have any real draws you have no pair, and you would need runner runner low cards to MAYBE split.

You don't make money calling down bluffs in holdem, and you surely lose tons doing it on omaha

Still, people don't call pot sized bets in HOLDEM High on just a flush draw, you shouldn't call in omaha with JUST a flush draw either.

Here is a handy % calculation. You are still behind even if all he has is the straight.
