Playing a little $25 PL08 at 6:30 AM cuz I'm too tired to play Hold 'Em for actual money.
Get dealt

So at this point I'm pretty happy, just make it double suited and I would have the "best hand", but I'll take what I can get.
I bet the pot in EP bringing it up to like $1.10 or something. Am I right in doing this? I figure I would like to play this against as few opponents as possible.
2 Players call.
Here's where it gets ugly.
Flop is.........

It's checked to me, I bet the pot.....is this reasonable?
1 fold. Opponent 2 check-raises the pot limit. Ok, you've got a flush, I'm willing to accept that fact.
So I start counting ways for me to win this hand, I coun't up something like 22 outs to the nut low and 7 more to aces full or quads and I'm thinking to myself it would have just been easier to count cards that wouldn't help me and I would have come up with a much smaller number.
Here's where it gets uglier. I was so happy with my situation on the flop I don't know how I didn't end up just getting myself all-in, but I didn't, so then.........
The turn........

Ughhh......1 of several.
Now, my opponent moves all in, costing me 15 to call, there is about as much in the pot. Do I make this call? I am certain of the fact that this guy has the nut flush, and the way it's going down it's looking like he's praying for me not to make a low. So I figure all my outs to the low are clean for half the pot, I doubt I'll be getting quartered or anything. And I still like my chances.....so I call.
The river........
![The Jack of Hearts [Jh]](https://pofex.com/images/smilies/Jh.gif)
Ughhh........1 of several minus one.
And I lose, end of story.
Opponent holds

So basically, is it just me or are swings in Omaha like, ridiculous? It just seems like there's a lot of times where you just virtually have to get your money in....or am I wrong? Any thoughts on how bad I played this hand or anything like that?
