Omaha HL Basic Question

You do have to use 2 of your hole cards don't you?

Reason i ask is im sure ive not been given the pot when i was holding maybe a lone ace of a suit and got the flush. Is this the way or am i always too stoned for Omaha HL?

Yes you do need to use exactly two hole cards komp. That would be the reason why the bastardos shipped the pot away from you

Ive actually been playing quite a lot of omaha HL lately. Been skint see. Sick of wasting my money on Holdem NL games as i work on things about the site. I just end up playing 'the hands' and ive go no dynamism (??) as i aint watching the table. With omaha HL i just play it tight and i seem to be doing ok. Its a great game and i think it's even helping my THoldem as 2 cards seems easy after the 4

The best starting hand is AA23 double-suited with the ace komp (ie. Ad Ah 2d 3h). This gives you the best high starting hand and excellent coverage to win the low pot (if one arises).

I like the game, but I know a reg or two who don't like the four card version (six card is a different story though

)

the big winner in these games IMO is knowing when and how to play hi-only hands
