Pretty standard. If the table is agressive I fold preflop. If its passive its not such a bad thing to take some flops with JJxx and up.
Field mice are fast, but owls can see in the dark.

I myself would like to hear some more experienced opinions, but I believe a big step to take is not figuring whether to fold this or that 'overpair' and to instead erase all concept of an overpair from your mind, as it is just not applicable in omaha. It's not NLHE, and a great part of profit (mine at least) comes from players, for whatever reason, playing omaha like it is NLHE.
It's not to say an overpair won't win ever, even a mulitway pot, but it is more of a fluke than a science, as in NLHE. The only exception would be getting a chunk of your stack in on A-A-x-x (with preferably the x-x being something worthwhile) and potting the flop almost regardless of texture. And while a favourite, this is still a high variance play.

The amount of bad plays you'll see with non-nut flushes and straights and clearly counterfeited boats... well, that's where all the profit is.

Don't mess with overpairs unless you have a really good reason to (ie, a nut draw with your other two cards or some type of insane read - and even then only at higher limits)
