Two interesting Omaha hands

Two Omaha hands where I need to analyze the odds on each street.

The first hand I flop 3 pair and I'm facing some heat from an aggressive but good player. I was pretty sure he had either a straight or set so I was drawing to a boat. I'm curious to see my equity against a range of hands.

In the second, this hand was a Hwang special. I'm about 1/3 through the book and there's some detailed discussion on 2 gapper straight draws. The flop was all but perfect from what I recall.

First two hands - quads twice

I wonder the chances of get quads two hands in a row. Not to mention the chance of this occurring first two hands of a session.
