I'm a Hold'em player but like to **** around on Omaha once in a while. I was playing on $2 PLO and and a small stack ended up all in on me and somehow beat me with a straight when I made a flush.

How is this possible?

Edit: I tried to upload a pic but it won't work for some reason.

The board was:

3s 5s 10s 6h 4s

I held Ah Ac As 3h

He held 7c 8s 7h Kh

learning the rules of a game before playing it might be a good idea

LOL damn

I know you can only use 2 of your hole cards but I didnt realize u can only use 3 community cards, I thought I'd be able to use just 1 hole card and 4 community cards like in Hold'em. Least I only lost 80c

Lesson learned

You are not alone sir. I used to work in customer service for 888 poker (then branded pacific poker) and we got this phone call several times a day. It was so funny when people got really aggro and rude about it before realising that they just didn't know what they were doing.

Back in 07 or 08 I actually sent a mail to support that it was rigged with about the same hand (then stopped playing plo for 5 years, so can't rly troll

)
