I am a decent omaha and o. hi/lo player and understand what hands are good to play with
but I have never found a general guide on the best starting hands
i understand for Omaha hi/lo AA23 double suited is nice and others that give you options for hi and lo hand are good starting hands
i don't have a clue for omaha though...AAKK double suited? or is a str8 and flush drawing hand ex. AKQJ double suited better?
as in Holdem, AA is considered the best starting hand, what is the best omaha hand?
i like omaha almost more than NLHE but am still ery inexperienced
anyone have a general guide on this or have played omaha and hi/lo for a long time and have any input?
thanks in advance guys
oh yea...
are Omaha Hi/Lo and Omaha 8 the same game?
