    Hey. I've just joined a $1 fixed Omaha tournament for a change, and I've just realised I have no idea what I'm doing. Well, no, I have a basic idea, but I mean, I don't know the relevant hand values, and what not. I've only played maybe 50 hands of pot limit omaha, in some of those 10c sng's, and that was a while ago. So I could use some quick tips and advice, if anyone's got any to spare?

    In this situation the less you know the better. It's usually the lucky donk that wins, just play maniac style and TID.

    set mining = death

    drawing hands ftw!

    you are really never too far ahead so bet pot when you know you have the best hand. Value town = I can't believe he hit runner runner again.

    So... what constitutes as a good starting hand in omaha? Connecting, suited cards, or pairs, what?

    I assume omaha hi, and not hi/low

    you want to see double sooted hands, and hands that connect together.

    all broadway double sooted, nice nice.

    AAKJ double sooted Yums..

    Well I'm 12 out of 145 in chip counts. Which is hilarious, cause I really don't know what I'm doing half the time.

    actually ive read that a hand like AAJ10 double suited is a stronger hand that AAKK because of straight possibilities obv
