General Question

I'm such a newb to omaha it's not even funny.I'm trying to get a feel for the value of different hands. Two pair is giving me some trouble. On uncoordinated flops (no str8 or flush possibilities) should we be ready to callall the way down with top two? Top and bottom?Should we call a flop bet in position and then fold if they lead the turn? If we pot the flop and it gets raised on an uncoordinated board, should we be calling all the way down?

"should we be ready to call" "should we call a flop bet" "should we be calling"FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP WANTING TO CALL. BETTING AND RAISING ARE MORE USEFUL.As for your question, it depends. Really. Sometimes you would snapcall a shove with AA on a J52 flop. Against other players you will fold 77 on a K75 flop. Usually top two is pretty strong, but again, it is too player dependent to give reasonable advice. It would only be harmful.

The answer is that there is no answer - I have heard people say that playing two pair is what separates the pros from the amateurs. One thing you should consider is that if you play coordinated hands if you flop two pair you will almost always have something else to go with it - for example if you have JT98 any 2-pair you can have will also have an open-ended straight draw. That's one of the reasons why JT98 is a better hand than AK45, etc.
