AAxx is pretty crap hand unless that xx makes it double suited
lets say i have AA83 rainbow i'd rather have 4567 if it has at least one suited pair
if u have AAxx and flop comes with flush draw u can get in trouble

Don't think you have to raise with AAxx.


It really depends what the "xx" is. Obviously table make up and the flow of the game come into play in your decisions but AAxx is not an automatic raise from me.

Play money is actually a decent place to practice omaha since it mimics the low limit ($50 and lower) pretty well.

Bad Omaha advice right there, 4 connectors can be a very profitable hand in Omaha. Especially if they are big cards as well, hands like TJQK, AQJT, 9TJQ. And add another bonus if they're double suited.

Low connectors also play pretty well, stuff like 2345 and 5678 since it's a pretty well disguised hand. These play much better from late position though whereas the big connectors mentioned above can easily open the pot with a raise from EP.


I've just read something giving similar advice so I guess Nut flush knows his stuff: to an extent at least.. :)
I'm playing as I type and doing ok. I'm up about 10 dollars but in all honesty I haven't a clue what I'm doing. I'm playing tight as a ducks ass and have managed 2 win a couple of hands.
Anyhow, keep the advice coming..... :D


Oh sure! I say it first but you give Nutflush all the credit!!! :wink:


Did I do u an injustice, dog? Sry m8, no offense intended..... :|


Just hassling you! It takes a lot to offend me... mostly because I deserve a lot of it. :D
