Would like your thoughts and advice on the way I played this hand. It seems to me I putting to much emphasis on trips on the flop.
trying to improve my Omaha game and any help would be great full. I have been playing a few Omaha tournaments on stars. out of the last 5 tournaments I have been put out while hitting trips on the flop and getting out drawing. I know Omaha is a drawing game and maybe I am playing it to much like holdem. Also is there any good Omaha books anyone could recommend to help improve my game.
Here is an example of my play while Holden trips

sorry but i cant seem to get the convert hand history to work for this example.
