Above are the spots I'd be folding this.

Yeah, I agree.Your drawing to a hand that might already be dead.

Really?I am no Omaha expert, but this hand will play well in a non-split pot and don't about 1/2 of all hands fail to qualify on the board? 9h Ah Qd TdDouble suited, 4 connected cards, why isn't this is a good hand to take a flop with. I agree with folding in every other spot, but I'd see a flop for 1 or 2 bets the way this played. The teaching moment for me is that even though the flush and straight draws are there, you are way behind on the flop and too often drawing dead in that spot to keep chasing.

Yep, as revhg said - I don't mind limping to take a flop with this hand but to go any farther than the flop here is pointless.

i don't think it is totally horrible to see the flop and even to peel one of but we are in a world of hurt multiway on turn and could be drawing dead your right this is almost a total plo hand not an 8 or better hand. We just need such a perfect flop to win this hand so even thou flop wasn't horrible that not a very good flop for us and we could have let it go there. We are getting 5 to 1 preflop so limping a double suited hand to see a flop isn't horrible and we are so priced in after the villain after you raised and everyone else call but this seems like a very weak tourny if 3 people limp call in early position don't put too many chips into any pot unless you have a good hand if they are that bad you will probably get a good pay off when things do unfold very well.

LOL, it's a 16 buck HORSE tourney. They are always very weak out of the gates. I do agrees with the pro's of taking this flop. Hand ends there though without a doubt.
