Omahahahaha is NOT HOLDEM!!!  That is the biggest mistake one can make in Omaha.  The aggression necessary in hold'em will often get you in trouble in Omaha.

Omaha is the king of draw games.  What you hold preflop means next to nothing, OK, not that close to next to nothing.

I did really well this morning playing 2 suited hands, high connectors, and almost any pair, however, the almost any pair is not a hand you want to compete hard for.  If you have big pair, QQ, KK, AA or the like, AND other cards that fit, i.e. JT or suited matches to the big cards, then it is worth seeing.

I am not a fan of preflop raising in Omaha.

Most players these days think the sole key to poker is aggression.  Aggression surely has its place, but holdem is the place for preflop aggression.  In stud it has its uses, but is overused by transplanted holdem players.  In Omahahahaahah, it is so easy to flop a tot6al disaster that aggression should be tempered .

Beware any no limit Omaha game.  Practice with play money before you jump into Omaha.
