Been playing a lot of Omaha Hi over the past few months and now want to get some Omaha/8 under my belt so I have been playing around some in the Kiddie pool. Not much experience with Omaha/8 yet, but I have skimmed some stuff on this board, checked out a few web sites and have read Ciaffones very small section on it in his Omaha book.
These are simple I am sure just want some conformation.
Hand 1:
When it get's back to me stacks are too short to simply call correct? Better to just take the equity edge I have here and push based on the dead money? UTG was very loose and I would not be suprised for him to call me here (as he did).

Hands 2 + 3:
I've been experimenting with Pre-flop and don't really mind testing out hands to see if they play well at all post flop. I imagine these 2 hands might need to hit the muck PF. Can you tell I play Hi?
Hand 2:
I don't have the emailed HH so I can't convert.
I have about 24 and pick up K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and limp UTG+1 after 1 limper. 6 to the flop
Flop (1.45) - K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
I pot it and get two callers.
Turn (5.6) - 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
I pot it, MP raises all in (same stack as me) 3rd player folds and I call.
I'm fine with this one Post flop but let me know if it is no good.

As mentioned I think pre-flop might be a muck. Not sure on the turn here, but the check-min raise probably means he's got it since people are really likely to have Aces and are generally passive at these stakes correct? Any chance people at this level semi-bluff with the naked Ad with a low draw?
