Run down hands like AKQJ and 10987 have a lot of potential especially when suited or double suited.
Jarod....I actually like to have Ace suited with a pair that does not match the suit of my Ace suited like A10d with 8h8c
Rule 1: Rainbow hands are bad
Rule 2: Connectedness/Suitedness are good
Rule 3: Higher is better
Rule 4: The more and the higher the gaps in your rundown the worse it is. JT98 with at least one suit is a phenomonal hand. JT97 is still quite good but not as good. J987 is playable but considerably weaker. J976 is close to trash.
Rule 5: AAxx hands with at least one suit are general very strong, but mainly because of your double chances of making top set/full house or a nut flush. The better the side cards the better the AAxx. AAKK DS or AAJT DS are a couple of the best hands in the game. AA74 rainbow is pretty close to trash.
Rule 6: Pairs in your hand are generally a bad thing. QQ, JJ, TT etc are nowhere near as strong as they are in hold em. you don't want to play hands with pp's below say 77 or 88 and even the mid-pair you need good cards to go with them (something like T988 with a suit is an ok hand for example)
Or, to paraphrase rule 6 in simpler yet very true terms, *ahem*: "BOTTOM SET IS NEVER GOOD!"
Rule 7: Position matters more in omaha than hold em, regardless of your holding. playing hands from the blinds, especially when calling a raise can be costly.

This is a fair start.. generally u need 4 cards that work together, not just 2; u have 6 possible combinations for str8s, fls etc. AK means nothing; HE is another game. U are looking for lots of draws on all streets then JAM! Is a very aggressive game the way I play.
