Message: [QUOTE="Count DeMoney, post: 362546, member: 5844"] Omaha is a big favorite of mine but it is tricky. For example TJ Cloutier and others favor AAJ10 double suited over AAKK. And some computer simulations bear this out! Cloutier's (I hope I spelled that right) book on Omaha is a good one as it covers limit, pot limit and Hi/Lo. Think of it this way, you have six starting hands. You want as many of the hands to be quality ones. With two pairs, say 8877, you have just 8's, 7's and 8-7. All suited are terrible since you can only use 2 cards and 2 other cards of your suite are out. But I love the game, especially H/L because it's phenomenally easy to read players. Players tend not to make a move until they have something. Once they do they go for it; otherwise they just check and call. And the game is complex enough that players can justify calling with any hand; and they often get a piece of the flop to keep them in. A good Hi/Lo player can often find easy pickings. [/QUOTE]
