Yea, I've been trying to learn this and it is fun.
For post draw strategy, I would take lots notes on the types of hands bet and called. Most people seem to wisely ck down any pair or weak 2 pair. You have to get a feel for whether your set is trapping an overvalued 2 pair or whether someone is trapping that overvalued set with a straight or flush. Most hands though it is just ck ck ck bet fold fold fold; but when they DO give action, it is so much fun. I had a guy call my stand pat boat with 2 pair; you gotta love it- people seem to think that stand pat bluffs are going on all over the place.
I play Omaha, and I have been kinda surprised at how often really strong hands come up in 5CD. Set over set and flush over flush seem no big deal, and I have seen boat lose to better boat, and in the last 3 months, I have hit quads like 2-3 times a week (in about 1-2 hours per session)!
IMHO, I believe this game is about position even more than most variants, and way more about reads than most variants.
