Omaha/8 or better advice
There are 5,278 starting hands in Omaha/8. Well, there are more but my figure eliminates similar hands. For example: A-2-3-4 unsuited is only counted once in my total. In that number the top 100 hands have two aces in them! So think twice before playing a hand that doesn't contain at least one ace! There are very few hands without an ace with positive EV (expected value) but more on that later. Here's my advice...when you flop two pair with no low draw; fold to any bet. Four outs in Omaha is terrible. And any set less than top set is equally big trouble. Only play starting hands with scoop potential (a draw to both the low and the high.) Remember always that each player can make 6 hands after the flop, 24 hands after the turn and 60 hands after the river. This is why your hand never holds up! You must have something around 13 or more nut out re-draws to play a hand aggressively.
