I've discovered the joy of Omaha so....

I seem to be doing alright. Learning as I go. I watched the WSOP events and was intrigued so I started playing some $.01/$.02 I felt like I got the hang of it. Started with $5 and was closing with $8. So i decided to play some $.50/$1 for fun and won $100 (but only ended up with $50--can you really protect your self from a third 7 on the river?????).

Anyway, I know there's one or two of us that play Omaha. I'm wondering where I would go for a read, if there's a book on P* I could buy with my points, just so I can get a better sense of what constitutes a good starting hand.

FYI, I prefer hi/lo.

Re: I've discovered the joy of Omaha so....

Two of the better books on Omhaha8 hi/lo are "How to Win at Omaha High-Low Poker" by Mike Cappelletti and "High-Low Spit Poker,7cs.....for Advance Player" by Ray Zee. Ken Warren has a book "Winners Guide to Omaha" but it is very basic.

One of the members here Dave, w16227 has very good knowledge of the O8 game. I use to play it more than HE but for the last two years, I have hardly touch that game.
