Omaha high, which hand is better PF?

#1 07-11-2007, 3:51 PM

I witnessed a hand last night which puzzled me a little. Omaha PL high.

Hand 1: As Js Ac Tc

Hand 2: Ah Kd Qs Ad

Which hand is a favorite preflop?

close to equal... long time question of debate.

#2 ended up winning after they both got it AIPF. Afterwards, #1 started in on this fellow calling him all sorts of names etc, and claimed that he was a huge favorite.

I just found an odds calculator and he was right.

Hand #1 Win: 30% Tie: 60% Lose: 10%

I find this fascinating tbh.

I misread it, but they are closer than that. Thought the other guy had AAKK double suited (that is the classic debate). Here are the stats for both:

I think Dan Harrington said the best Omaha hi hand was AAKK double suited, followed by AAJ10 double suited because of the straight possibilities.

AA10J is the best because of the drawing possibilities

depends on number of opponents but heads up (as shown above), AAKK is slightly better.

Actually I made a mistake in the OP.

Hand 2 was 4 suited, so the percentages I have listed prior are correct.

Just started playing Omaha, and this hand was interesting to me. Sorry I botched the suits..
