Confused ! Pls Help

I was playing a PLO game and I was extremely confused after this hand ended.
I had the nut flush of spades, but there was no pair on the board so no possibility of a full house, I even checked the opponent’s hand for a straight flush, but he did not have it. But the client sent the chips to the opponent’s stack(cooldoggo). I am new to Omaha games is there anything that I am missing or unaware of regarding these games? Please reply if you know what happened and how I lost the hand or else this one hand will keep me awake late at night.

Here is the screenshot of the hand below…

you didn’t have the nut flush - you can only use 3 cards from those on the table plus 2 of yours

Ooouch !

I’ll admit to this error.

Yes, it happened to me and I’m sure it happened to others.

When I first started to learn Omaha Hi - Lo, the game was moving so fast, it’s easy

to make that mistake.

In fact, I remember it happening more than once!

My suggestion is to use most of your game clock time to doublecheck the basics of the game

until it becomes natural.

You could even get an index card and fold it in half.

Write that rule, " My two cards & three common cards *

Use it until it sinks in, and the mistake will not happen again.

I’m glad you posted here.

I’m sure this posting will help others who are learning Omaha Hi - Lo.
