    I turned the straight flush draw and knew I was beat versus AK.

    Was I correct to shove with the lower straight and nut draw?

    I am no Omaha expert so take my advice with a grain of salt, but first I wouldn't be playing this hand unless I was in the Big Blind in an unraised pot. To me this is a crap hand, with three of one suit and only ten high. My advice in the future would be to dump this type of hand and wait for a better one.

    Pre-Flop: Fine as played 6-handed deep stacked

    Flop: Call isn't the worst thing in the world but you caught the wrong end of the wrap and have medicore flush draw. Basically 3 handed you are screwed here. I don't think your hand is good enough to re-raise and isolate. I think this is a fold.

    Turn: You have to fold. You are beat by Ak and K9. Good chance you are drawing to 2 miracle outs.
