I really like Ohama H/L. The only big thing you have to remeber is that you get the most money when you are trying to scoop the pot. That doesnt always mean winning the high and the low pot because if there is only two cards on the board below 8 then there will only be a high pot, so you can scoop it there to. Also I will almost never play a hand without an Ace because that is pretty much the best card in the game since it can win you the High and low pots.
Another intresting idea that Omaha bring is that you really need to calculate pot odds to see if you are getting the right ones to call. But your pot odds can change a little depending on how many people enter the hand. Like say you are on the button and there are 5 people already called the BB. And you look down at a
that looks a lot better than if you were to look down and see a
because you know that alot of other people have the low cards that you have so you may be only playing for a 1/4 of the pot. While the
gives you a better chance to scoop if you can hit a straight.
