Two omaha hands by Fox

Hand 1. I think call on flop is good. How's the rest of the hand?
Hand 2. I thought about this a long time. I cannot seriously think of any situation where he's pushing a low straight. This has to be a flush 99% of the time. Or do i still have to snap and cry snapping.

hand 2 seems like a fold preflop? or is that ok?

ya

Postflop both hands are fine imo.

Hand 2 is a definite fold preflop.

two other questions.

what if in hand 1 river pairs board and he bets out like that? I'd think that might be a fold

what if it's not a club? while that increases the chance he has a flush do i still call with the 3rd nuts?

thx

hand 1 is fine, if river pairs u should fold w/o a read. if its not a club still call...its pretty much the same thing and the decreased chance of him having a flush is negligible
hand 2 either pot it or fold pf, your hand is very weak and difficult to play even in position. postflop looks good.
