Hey guys,

I play poker on and off casually. I recently started playing Omaha and I occasionally run into hands like what's below where it's supposed to be split or I'm supposed to win, but I lose. I think I probably am missing something:

Don't we both have the same straight here? Why did I lose this hand?

Thanks guys!

Wouldn't I play the 7 on the board to make the same 3-7 straight?

No, because you have to play two of your hands + 3 hands from the board.
