In omaha hi/lo there are certain pitfalls and traps that are easy to fall for. 1. the aces trap : Aces don't have the same value in omaha unless accompanied by a decent low draw card or cards. Suited adds strength to them. Omaha is A game where position really does become a factor. The "stranded aces" is when they are not suited, have no decent accompaning low draw card and there is no pair on the board. Statistically they only win 1 in 5 times in omaha. 2. Chasing the low. This is the 1 that really is the trap . how many times has it happened that u have the nut low draw after the flop but two hi cards come on the turn and river or even worse a low comes but the turn or river duplicate your best low draw and snap off the hand that you have after putting a fair amount of chips at risk. I like to play only low draws where I have three of the four cards to draw for low with a pair or decent draw for the hi side. It can be a frustrating at times, when you get nice drawing hands, but the board strands you everytime. Patience and folding early (after the flop) are the only way to negate this type of omaha day gl out there all you frustrated omaha hi/lo players I'm in there with ya:deal:
