Quick Omaha

quick Question about omaha hands,

How would you rate 3,4 suited and 9/10 suited not the same suit obviously because that would decrease probability of hitting a flush,

also would you play 4 Aces?

Many thanks

You should fold 4 aces, and 34/9T double suits is a really marginal hand, shouldn't play it imo.

3/4 suited is a more speculative hand. It would depend on your position and how many are in the pot whether it should be played or not. And you are hoping for some counterfeiting on the flop. 4As I would fold. And I would bitch because this wasn't HE. 9/10 suited only in very special circumstances.

4 of anything should never be played, including aces - unless you are down to a final total bluff. lol In fact, the only time I will think about playing even 3 aces is with a suited Broadway card, in late position.

The 34 and 9-10 even double suited is just less than marginal, IMHO. The 34 suited is worthless for flush potential. The 9-10 is also trouble, even if 1 or 2-flush overcards hits the board. So to tell you the truth, you are hoping a flush would not hit.

Onto the straight issues. First off, hard to get a nut straight with 34. Now if the 34 were even a 56 to go with that 9-10...if a 78 hits, you'd have the biggest wrap in Omaha. A 67 or 78 out be even better. Not as big a wrap, but more likely to hit. At any rate, 349T has no wrap potential whatsoever. You have to hit it just right. And should you hit it on the flop or turn, it will be subject to getting freerolled by a higher straight. I would throw this hand away on the button in an unraised pot.

thank you so much, would you always play a pocket pair if you could just limp in? and also would you always plap double pocket pairs?

I'm going to assume with no reference to H/L, that you're talking about Omaha Hi only. The answer to both your questions, it depends on the pair(s). All 4 cards are ideally doing a job, working together with the other cards to give you the most combinations for possible nuts.

AsAcKsQc is a pocket pair, and a powerful, raisable hand in any position. Lower cards, bigger gaps, and off-suitedness further decrease hand value. For instance a JhJdTd9s (single-suited) is not a great hand, but certainly worth of a limp. On the other hand, TT52 should not be played under any circumstances, even double suited.

Same goes for double PPs. Are they 1) high cards (nothing worse than overs hitting the table to give someone a better boat or at least set) 2) connected 3) suited. And suited really only coming into play if 1 of the pairs are Qs or above. Similar to my example above, AAKK double suited is probably the strongest hand in Omaha. 2266 suited or not, instatrash. 8899 suited or not, but suited is nice (never know when you'll hit that str8 flush lol), somewhere in between, limp worthy.
