PL Omaha Hi/Lo Multi-Table Trny

I 'm a poker beginner. I play mostly sit-n-goes. I have less then 1000
sit-n-goes played and less then 50 multi tournaments played. All of these
are played at lower (5 to 20) buy in's. My goal for this tournament is to
look for good money making salutations and exploit them and to make the
final table.

This hand is from a party multi table 20 + 2 tournament. There are 41 people
left I have an average stack. Top 30 get paid I am at table 4 so I will
probably stay at this table until I money. My feeling is with the big stack
playing so tight if I can get a larger stack I can run over this table while
on the bubble and then play tight until the final table.

I have been playing tight and aggressive. I have not limped into any pots
while at this table and all of my bets have been pot size. I have shown down
one hand in the last hour (against BB) and split the pot (I had a strong
hand). The rest of my hands did not go to showdown.

Mid -2 had been limping quite often from any position the few times I got to
see his cards they were not vary strong. Big stack made a large portion of
his stack 4 or 5 rotations ago and has been playing tight lately. I don't
think he wants to risk his stack at this time. The small blind is tight and
the big blind is a LAG.

My goal here is to win the pot with my raise or play BB or Mid2 for all my
chips heads up. If SB or big stack jumps in I'll reevaluate my options.


Questions.
How good/bad/average was my play?

What can I do to improve my thinking on hands like this? Did I miss
something?

How do you put your opponents on hands at these buy-ins in Omaha? It would
be a lot easier to figure out how good/bad my play was if I could put my
opponents on hand rages.

All comments/criticisms welcome.

Final Pot:

[Burdzthewurd]

Why in the world are you ever calling all-in on this awful flop? Easy fold to a push, it's not even close. You're drawing dead to half the pot (and I mean a miracle half of pot) for runner-runner.

I’d like to say because I had 2.5 to one pot odds….

The real reason is because I felt pot committed and didn’t believe the flop hit him. If I were in his shoes there is a strong possibility I’d push this flop also. Regardless of my cards. This may be another leak.

I don't think there is any way you could call this all-in after the flop. Three high cards of the same suit and all you have is a pair. I don't really care what the pot odds are, you have to dump it with this flop.

I think both you and Burdzthewurd are correct.

Thanks for your input.

This flop would terrify me. He did call your raise remember, you have top pair with a crappy kicker and a gutshot draw to a str8 that may not be good considering the board is monotone. And he may already have that str8. Add up the potential fh draws and 2.5-1 isn't even remotely close to what you need to call this.
FOLD FOLD FOLD!

Ick. Bad flop, take your lumps and fold without second though.
