Bottom and Middle set in PLO are dangerous hands.  I wouldn't call them "sucker" hands as other people do, but you can't play them like you would in holdem.  You have to understand that you really are not that good with bottom set because of all the other cards that people can have.

Depending on the game, or whos in the hand, checking them on the flop or river is probly a good idea, especially when its 2s.  You will win small pots and lose big ones with hands like those so you are better off keeping the pot small.

I don't really like your raise pre-flop in the second hand.  I don't really see that your hand is worth the raise, not drawing to any nut flush, only using 2 cards for straight draws, and containing a bad pair.  It just allows people to bet more, which you don't want to happen with such a small pair.  I (am also new to omaha and in no way an expert) don't consider pairs or any value unless they are: 1) Jacks or higher, or 2) help my other cards ie 10,9,8,7,7.

I recently took a trip to AC and got to play PLO live for the first time.  It was a lot of fun, and I really do enjoy the action that you just don't really find in holdem that much any more.  I lost a huge hand overplaying a set of jacks with a king on the board.  It will happen, but you want to minimize the cases that it does.  I do that by not giving low pairs in my hand really any value.

After writing this post I kinda of think small pairs in omaha are like KQ in holdem.  They will win small pots from time to time, but you dont' want to commit a lot of chips to them without having the nuts.
