Accidentally registed for an Omaha SNG

I have just started an omaha sng by mistake. Just after some thoughts about my first hand.

Ace Ace Jack 4 all different suits.

What would people do?

Hahhaha! Quickly google Omaha strategy Thats not a bad hand tbf, but only cuz u got aces, you're lookin to hit a set, but don't fall in love with it like in NLHE. They get easily beat

Threw the hand away post flop as I had nothing but Aces. I knew that top pair rarely wins a hand due to the additional hole cards.

I read up on some strategy. Very basic. May not help.

About 25 hands in raised to 2.5 x BB with K 2 2 4. Got 4 callers. Flop K 4 3. Bet 2/3 pot got 1 caller. Turn was a King. Other guy shoved and I doubled up. He had 2 nines in his hand.

I like the game. Just never played it much. Good luck me.

Yea Omaha can be fun. Very swingy though if you're playing cash. Can't say i've ever bought into an Omaha SnG. Might try it GL though an I hope you win it. Let me know

Loony at the table shoving with any hand containing an ace or pair. Chips going up and down like a roller coaster.

He shoves and I have Ad Ah Qc 10d and I call. I have 3700 in chips to his 1700. He shows A 8 9 9 double suited. He doesn't hit.

Didn't mention but this is a double or nothing tourney.

Position 1 of 6 now with 5400. Will just fold my way to the cash I think.

Game over. I doubled up (sort of).

I really like the game however I think I would want to play a lot more hands with play chips to get a better understanding of the strategy involved.

Had fun.

Made some dollars.

Might go back to holdem.

congratulations

If Omaha Hi, you have a very good hand, if Omaha hi / lo your hand is reasonable, but everything depends on what comes in flop okay!

naked aces (no suits or straight cards) is NOT a good Omaha hand. It will rarely win without another ace.

This is so true. The 2nd hand you described (Ad Ah Qc 10d) is a beauty. All 4 cards are 'on the job' helping your possibilities. The Qc, although not suited, is right in there for straight possibility, either helping the 10, the ace, or both (i.e. if JKT hit the board).

This is only application to H/L, which you were not playing... Conversely, an A2 is also a 'naked low' if unaccompanied by a 3, 4, 5 or even 6 - unless they are suited at least once to a high card. I don't know what the actual odds are, but my guess is that there IS no low in maybe 30 - 40% (?) of all hands, so the 'hi' considerations should always factor in more heavily.

Congrats on your win!

I've accidentally done the same thing a time or two...until I customized my screen options. But, the first time this happened, I finished 3rd in the Omaha SnG!
