All of the answers so far are good.  You want to have the nuts or draws to the nuts in Omaha.  You want to win bigger pots when you have a strong draw.  However, you have less playable starting cards than you do in holdem.  Especially when you are out of position.   Don't play short stacked in Omaha, because you want to be in big pots with the edge or when you need to bluff on the river when you miss your big draw and bluffs don't work with small stacks as well as they do with big stacks.   I started playing Omaha in a home game and we played Omaha 8 or better with a fixed limit.  It is an easier and less expensive game than Pot Limit Omaha.  I agree with the poster who said to start out with play games to learn the ropes.  But play the hands the same way as if you were playing for cash, since you can't play the cash games as you do the play games.  There is a lot of advice in this forum and elsewhere on the web.  Once you understand the game, you can read Jeff Hwang's books.  I think they are the best.  Good luck.
