Here is a sign of a bad omaha o8 player. I am in a 10 handed 6 dollar Omaha o8 sng. nupam rasies under the gun AA9Q, now he has no low possiblilty, lone aces are weak hand in any form of omaha. I recieved AA28, I have low cards plus AA so you can see why my hand is much stronger. So I put in a reraise. Flop 689, not the best flop, but I do have the nut low draw and aces if they are still good. I doubt he is raising the pot under the gun with 7T,75, 87,97.89 in his hand. So on the turn Im pushing with AA and nut low draw. Well when he turned over his hand I was stoked. I got the low and we tied for the high hand so I got 3/4 of the pot.

So in omaha 08, if you have AA9Q, it might be ok to see if you flop a monster, but raiseing it is a losing stragety.

Thanks

Nice hand. Omaha always looks tough. In college I could never get my buds to play it, and I'm not going to sit down at a casino to learn it. Would love to try it though.

I have never gotten the hang of omaha. I have tried to learn it, and I have even sat and watched it on t.v. for HOURS. What a waste of time, I will stick to NL holdem!

Yeah- it seems confusing to me and I think I am too old to learn anything new LOL
