You have to use 2 cards from your hand and 3 from the board.

and be prepared to fold AA with any action behind you..especially with that board, remember it aint much like Holdem!

I think the other dude played this worse than you

jesus. how come during like 90% of my plo sessions i run into people that know how to play.

edit: and isnt it like blasphemy to be from the UK and not know omaha

def this. will pay for itself in your first session. you will look at hands like this in a whole new light.

you dont always have to raise AAxx (esp unsuited and w vaguely connecting side cards) pre unless you can get a fair %age of your stack in.

oh and 50NL 6max is not a great place to start learning PLO.

i hate AA no suits in omaha, but omaha rocks!!!!!!!!

I read "why doesnt my flush play here" then i look at his hole cards and fall out of my chair laughing

I said i was a noob, wtf were you expecting? I'd never played the game and didn't understand it properly, its really not that funny bud.

Wrong, it is still funny as hell, some day you'll laugh too.
