Learning to laydown middle sets will save you an awful lot of money. The same goes for k high flushes and underfulls.

Very generally I agree but I'm not sure in a situation where it's for for less than a pot raise all-in with no info on the guy. Hard and fast rules like "always lay down middle set to a raise" are foolish. Would you lay it down if the all in raise was for five bucks? Clearly there are situations when you shouldn't.

You are 100% correct, I should have put one more word in my post. It should have read "Learning WHEN to laydown middle sets will save......

Of course I don't laydown middle set every time, however, if I have a decent read on you and you are showing strength, I am laying this down

Q: What kind of hand calls the flop and pushes over you on the blank turn in a mid stakes game?

A: One that is either crushing middle set or that is not very far behind.

And that is the worst piece of trash I have seen a 2+2er play from MP.

I was trying to build a lag image - I doubled up quickly after when I hit a wrap/nut flush draw on the flop and hit my flush on the turn.

Sometimes I'll play around 25 VPIP and others around 45VPIP. I think it's important in Omaha when your opponents actually recognize how many hands you are actually playing to mix it up.

There is loose, and then there is LOOSE.

9943 from MP suggests a VPIP of 80%+.

So if you got raised on the flop, you would lay down the same as if you got raised on the turn? Clearly there is a difference in getting raised in each spot.

I know this has been said, but about preflop. This is where if you had something like T998, you would at least have outs with a gutshot, in case you were up against top set. Here you don't have anything....
