Default Pot-Limit Omaha/8 - lots of misstakes?

I'm new to PLO8, I'm affraid I did misstakes in this hand. Did I?

Ultimate Bet Pot-Limit Omaha/8, $.02 BB (5 handed) converter

saw flop|<font color="#C00000">saw showdown</font>

Button ($.35)
SB ($1.97)
<font color="#C00000">BB ($1.94)</font>
<font color="#C00000">Hero ($3.50)</font>
MP ($1.16)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
Hero calls $0.02, MP calls $0.02, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to $0.11</font>, SB calls $0.10, BB calls $0.09, Hero calls $0.09, MP calls $0.09.

<font color="purple"> Shoud I ever have played the hand from the beginning? And what about the call? </font>

Flop: ($0.55) K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">BB bets $0.02</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $0.61</font>, MP folds, Button folds, SB folds, BB calls $0.59.

<font color="purple">My raise seems correct for me. </font>

Turn: ($1.77) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $1.77</font>, BB calls $1.22 (All-In).

<font color="purple">Should I have slowed down with two lows and two hearts on the board? </font>

River: ($4.76) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>

Final Pot: $4.76
<font color="#009B00">Main Pot: $4.21, between BB and Hero.</font> &gt; <font color="#FFFFFF">High won by Hero ($4.21) No low.</font>
<font color="#009B00">Pot 2: $0.55, returned to Hero.</font>

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
Hero has Kc Kd 9d 4d (High: three of a kind, kings).
BB has 9s 4h 2d 3h (High: two pair, fours and threes).
Outcome: Hero wins $4.76. </font>

I would not have played the hand -- particularly after the raise pre-flop -- but after that I think you played it right. You need to bet large after the flop to get out the lows and try to get rid of flush draws. I would also have bet big on the turn, as you did to try to drive the BB out.

Fold pre flop, a hand like that is playable from late position for a limp, since you're looking for a K66 type flop to get your money in.

I would fold this hand under the gun. Your four cards are not well coordinated and you have no chance at making a low.

And what about the call?

[/ QUOTE ]
If it is not good enough to call the big blind, it is not good enough to call a pot size raise.

It looks good to me. You get rid of the back door draws.

Should I have slowed down with two lows and two hearts on the board?

You currently hold the nuts and are likely the favorite to win high. Make your opponent pay to draw out on you.

Thanks for your answers guys. I guessed they where going to be somewhat sceptical. Espacially about the preflop call i did.

I need to build more knowledge at microlimits. Good that they exists.
