Omaha H/L

[John_Galt]

Does anyone play?

I'm trying to learn how to play it since it's much more loose than Hold'em. But since I played Hold'em in the past, I'm having a hard time figuring out what should be bet hard, and when to drop out.

How do you know if you got good cards before the flop?

Yeah, I used to play Omaha Hi/Lo a bit.

Well, an important thing to realise is that in Omaha, you're never gonna win owt with a pair or something crappy like that. You wanna be playing hands which look like they could be forming a flush, straight or full house, if you're lucky on the flop. Otherwise, I just straight fold.

Though it depends on your playing style and the game format a lot. Pot limit, tournament format, etc? And what's your playing style, tight or loose? You get the point

I play omaha tighter than holdem, that's for sure.

I usually play ring games unlimited or tourny unlimited.

With hold'em I play tight and loose. Depends on the table, how I'm feeling, etc.
I'm still trying to figure out omaha h/l and I'm extremely tight. There's like a couple hands I've figured out are bad like Trips, if you had 3338 as your hand, than that's pretty ****ty. I've also found that having A2** isn't too bad.

Another part is the h/l thing. You think you got the pot, and you only get half it.
