I read on a web site to-day that AQJ10(any suit) is the best starting hand in Omaha hi is this right
JCMT, Gypsy?Anybody?

hi

I'm not sure (and expect GT etc to jump in with the right answer)

but I think ace king suited + ace king other suited is suposed to be the best starting hand

another good starting hand would be 2 sets of suited cards all in an open ended run ... but thinking about that a bit more that might not be 100% as your only using 2 hole cards max (my omaha is rusty and never good in the first place)

so AK same suit with JQ same other suite would seem like a good start

or KQ same suit with J 10 same other suit

but I'm probably wide of the mark the more I think about it (move to delete reply)

thinking about your hand suggestion there must be something in not having a "missing K" as the basic structure is two suited x 2 - giving run, straight & high pairs / full house potential ... anyway

this is definately for omaha hi ... as with hi/lo (again rusty) you want good shot at both the high and the low end pots ... so that makes is even more involved

then I think after the above types of combinations your looking at 2 aces with 2 another cards of same suits - eg ace 9 hearts + ace 7 clubs as this gives you a high pair you might end up using or ace rag to make the nut flush

anyway really hoping the knowleagble ones jump in asap

cheers scrawnybob

ps. I will be fixing up a HORSE game at some point ... as it's about time I got a better all round game and I'm sure everyone else would like to either try it for the hell of it or to improve too.

I think if I've got 2 pair, I'm gonna hang in there for the last card. Never know when you might hit a full house. Ofcourse this depends on a lot of factors.(cost, position,number of players in the hand, etc.)

You got one part correct , you want the j10 off , but with two aces to make it suited,
AAJ10 .

Why this hand ? I would have to write down a whole blog about it .

Basically comes down to , if opponent holds KKQ7 or simular , and a kq drop on board , you would still have outs to win the pot , either way if the board doesnt pair up. makes sence ? and the double suits make it easier to make a flush but thats obvious ...
And you got crack hands like 67QK, if he does add up with 8 9 to make a straight you would have the higher end of it with the j10 .

The aces speak for themselves..



Good luck in carbon and titan game today , i will not play as usual ...Work tommorow. ..

a couple weeks ago i didn't really care for omaha...still don't like the hi/low variation but im liking omaha alot more now that i kinda know what i am doing....still get hung up once in a while that you HAVE to use 2 cards from your hand...but since i got that free money on pokerari i have been playin it quite a bit and with my $20 from the monthly posting jackpot i figured i would try out a lil tourny on tilt here is the result of my first try@ omaha hi on tilt

No its not the best hand in Omaha Hi

AKs AKs ( doubble suited) is, but I like any 2 pairs in my hand with a three card gap ie. things like 88 QQ etc etc, altho its not the best starting hand persay, as I like to slowroll every thing in Omaha Hi I tend to feel I have more Maths for any turn plays, and more time to dump My hand is I feel I need to.

I wouldnt play Omaha Hi no limit, with out a very large bankroll, I also stay away from ANY Hi/lo game in Live Play.

Anyway

Playwell
