starting hand question


Recommended Posts

Ok i'm curious what most of you use as a Starting Hand requirement for your Omaha play. Mine tends to vary depending on the action of the game...for instance, some evenings i can see flops for a single BB w/ much action after the flop so i play a bit more on the loose side, but when there is alot of action preflop i tighten up quite a bit. I'm just curious if i'm playing to tight by adhering to the following rules in a $200 game...In no particular order of best hands, just my playable hands.AAxxKKxxHigh Pair w/ suited AceHigh Pair w/ mid to low pair...JJ77High Pair w/ two or more playable hands...QQ109Any Four High CardsThree high cards w/ suited AceThree high cards w/ active sidecard AK :club: J..9 :D Do you all think this is to tight or about right?Thanks ahead of time.

I'm more of an Omaha supernewbie, but for the most part my hands played agree with yours with a few exceptions:-If the KK is with something ridiculous like KK27, i don't usually play it.-I like coordinated hands, especially something like 7 8 9 10 double suited or something.-I don't usually like High Pair w/mid to low pair as much, only if they're a little closer together, like JJ 99 or something.But of course, just like your disclaimer, it varies with the game (and unfortunately, my mood, lol :oops: )

-Muck KK trash in EP in an aggressive game. -You can play just about any TT-AA soley on top set possibilities. -Any four working cards - you seem to have left out the middle rundowns which can make some big hands 5678ds, etc-A suited ace and 3 cards to a straight - A567, A89T, etc-Smaller gappers, if you can get in cheap in LP, they can flop big draws - 689T, etc
