super/system is good, from what I understand. I think there are some specialty books out there, but I haven't really researched it yet.

I've read Championship Omaha by TJ Cloutier and Tom McEvoy. I'd check that out as well as SS2. Both are good.

A little while ago I bought Mike Cappelletti's "How to Win at Omaha High-Low Poker." It's a pretty decent book to learn the basics of the game.

I took a look at that today. Looks ok (given I know very little about Omaha), but definately not the same style as Sklansky.

Ciaffone's Omaha Holdem poker is very short, but definitely worth having. Also Pot limit and No limit poker by ciaffone and reuben is good with lots of stuff that is applicable to plo, as well as a dedicated chapter on it. Not the easiest book to read, but repays a bit of thought.

Overall there is nothing like the quality of writing that there is on hold'em, but thats not all a bad thing.

I read this book not long ago, and it's not bad for a beginning player.

For more advanced strategy I plan on checking out SS/2 like the
others have said.

The concepts in Championship Omaha are hardly Championship
quality, but it's worth a look for beginning players.

TJ made a new Championsip Omaha in June, but is that just a reprint?

I liked "Omaha Holdem Poker" by Bob Ciaffone

for O8, SS2, LOou Krieger as a good one, and Capaletti. PLO is hard to find, basically SS2 and stewart reuben has a quiz type book that at first I didn't like, but mroe and mroe have gotten to like(the concepts are a bit advanced and he does play a lot of hands, just keep that in mind when reading it)
