I miniraise AA, preferably suited. If I get a reraise I push back hard if I think I can isolate them and hopfully get it AI heads up before the flop. |

Raise to build a pot with good cards and position. Stuff like JT87 double suited and QQTT is certainly worth building a pot with. | |

It depends on what your purpose to in raising. I almost never raise in EP and generally when I do raise, I raise to isolate or to build a pot. So when you want to know whether or not to raise, ask yourself what am I accomplishing with this raise? At lower limits, its almost pointless to raise for isolation. With that being said your now are only raising to build a pot. | |

I generally limp in, only raising occasionaly with hands that have a lot of potential to build the pot if I do hit. Normally I limp in though, because even if you end up hitting a set many times you'll need to fill up or you'll lose to a flush or straight. With high pairs you only worry about the Hi part of the pot. Limping in a multi-way pot with a hand like A2 is also a good way to make money in these ring games where a lot of players see the flop. | |

AA double suited is worth going all in with. | |

AA double suited is not worth going allin. you also forget middle rundown cards. | |

Depends on the game I guess. I like to see a lot of flops and let my profit roll in from playing better (and tighter) post-flop than the rest of the table. I raise sometimes with position and with an assortment of interesting hands. I raise more in Omaha sit-n-goes than ring games. | |

I like to raise aces, win a pot with them, then raise a nice wrap and catch those idiots who overbet two pair at me when I hit a nice flop thinking I have aces. |

I got quads the other day for the first time. Folding 9999 feels very weird. |

If your calling a raise with a hand in Omaha 8 that contains a 8 or a 9 then you have issues far superior to overplaying AA. | |

Basic pot limit Omaha strategy probably consists of raising most hands consisting of several combinations of high suited connectors and high pairs with powerful supporting cards, but preferably with position. |

9876 is not a speculative hand. | |

For the same reason NL ring players like having implied odds hands when another player has a big pair. middlerun down cards can call more raises than random broadway hands. | |

In deep stacked Omaha Hi there are no real pre-flop edges you can push. Only hands with good nut-like-hand potential you want to build pots, steal buttons, etc. with and all the various flavors of hopless to not-quite-there crap. At the lower levels, you just build pots with good hands, maybe see a flop cheap with somethink like QQxx, JJxx (any position in a passive post-flop loose game) or Axs (on the Buttonish). | |

Yeah... Omaha is difficult to beat with good/tight players because the edges are so thin. Luckily, there aren't many good/tight players at the 50s. | |

There may be no edges preflop, but you can't get an opponent to make big mistakes without building a pot first with a hand that holds lots of potential. | |

Had As Ac 8c 5c on the button 4 or 5 limpers (.05/.10 pot limit) and I raised 3x based on the nut flush possibility and my position, and to some degree the aces. I'm very new to Omaha and I was wondering how big of a disadvantage it is to have that third club in my hole cards? Also, was my raise reasonable? | |
