PL Omaha Hi

I am starting to play other variants of poker and I have to say the one I like most is Omaha Hi. You get dealt 4 hole cards. Betting is normal like Texas Hold'em. A major difference is that you use only 2 of your hole cards and 3 from the community. even if there is a full house on the community cards. doesn't mean you have a full house. I am still working on a good strategy for this game because I have seen hole cards like Ace 7 4 10 win with quad 4's. Call it stupid betting and getting lucky or no one raising the Big Blind. I actually look at my hole cards and pair them separately. If im holding A A Q Q. i say, would I play AA would I play AQ would I play QQ. The answer is yes and with a raise. Not only do you have a trip option but now you have a chance for a straight. Even better if at least one of the A Q combos were suited for a flush. Now a hand I have folded before after it has been raised to the pot limit. 10 J 8 9. 10 and J suited and 8 9 off suit. I play a tight hold'em game so your answer might vary. would you play 10 Jack suited (yes) would you play 10 8 off (no) would you play jack 8 off (no) 10 9 off (no) and 8 9 off (no). Now if there wasn't a pot raise most of the no's would be yes. I think we can all agree on that. so that is 1 yes to 4 nos. I think you should fold. Again people play different ways. Also you are already holding 2 cards you need to make a straight. The best you can probably do on this hand is 2 pair. Yes the straight is still there but are you going to push to get that ace on the river. The same ace just gave one guy a full house. Don't ask how use your imagination. Omaha can be a tricky game if you are not careful. My favorite hands to play is anything paired with 2 high suited connectors that don't match my pair. If you get a high Pair with low suited connectors you still have a good chance. Like I said. Tricky game. Play around and see what you think.
