Hi
What is a good starting hand for Omaha H/L?
Great, you just improved my game.
Were will i find a Omaha H/L game of 10/25 cent?
I don’t think there are any tournaments with that buy in. But, if you mean cash games then forget it. I take it from your questions and comments you are a beginner. Omaha Hi Lo is one of the hardest pokers games to master.
I suggest the following.
Read the strategy article here on Cardschat.
1.Select “Strategy Articles” on the main menu above.
2.Select “Omaha”
3.Select “Ultimate Limit Omaha High Low Guide”
After reading the “Introduction to Omaha Poker/Basic Omaha Poker Rules”, then
1.Select and read “How to play Omaha Poker: Preflop”
2.Select and read “How to play Omaha Poker: The Flop & Beyond”
3.Select and read “How to play Omaha Poker: Scooping the Pot”
I hope that helps, and good luck.
I was thinking of sit and goes.

If you're wanting to play for Low hand in Omaha H/L, here's what I would suggest.
Pre-flop
- Try playing for high hand instead. Low hand should be a nice afterthought.
- If you're going to play for low hand, you can play "Ace low" meaning you have to have an ace and one other low card (5 or lower). Only playing for A23 isn't going to give you enough experience for playing low hand.
- Or you can play "2/3" which means you have the 2 and the 3 and are hoping an ace with other low cards hit the board When everyone else is playing ace low and the ace comes you can have them crushed for low hand.
- Never raise pre-flop hoping you'll hit low hand. Too often there is no low hand, so just don't do it unless you also have a decent high hand.
After the flop
- Do NOT bet with 4 to a low hand. Again, low hands don't come up often enough for that to hit well. And, you could get counterfeited if one of your low cards is the one that hits the board.
- Don't get into raising wars just because you have the "nut" low hand (such as A2368 where you hold A2). Most people play for low hand, so there is always a good chance you will split the pot. And you don't want to have put 10000 chips into a pot only to get back just 7500 because someone else has high hand and you had to split low hand with someone else.
- Always be aware of getting counterfeited. If you have A3 and an A is on the board, do remember that everyone gets to use that Ace for low hand. So even though you may have been well ahead, someone else who needed the ace for their low hand could have you beat.

How are you getting along with your Omaha Hi Lo games?.
I had about half an hour to spare and remembered your question, so tried a $0.02/$0.04 Limit Omaha H/L cash game on Pokerstars. They accepted my $1.00 buy-in, but you may be able to buy-in for even less.
Probably a better option than tournaments, while learning. If you stick to the limit cash games, with a small buy-in, you should not get into too much trouble.
But the way, I got a royal flush while playing.
Well done.Yesterday i found the Pot limited Omaha H/L on Pokerstars. I tried to play a few hand and it came along very nicely. I took 2 $ to the table and played like 15 minutes and left with 3,14 $. Basically i won on AA25. All In . After that i had to take a break to calm down.
Well done.
You can go broke very quickly with Pot Limit Omaha H/L. Don't be fooled by the Pot Limit Stakes of $0.01/$0.02 against the Limit Stakes of $0.02/$0.04. The Limit Stakes looks twice as much, but each round of betting is limited.
Limit Omaha H/L ($0.02/$0.04) is a lot easier for a beginner and the standard of play is generally weaker than Pot Limit. Also, I doubt if you would need to take a break to calm down after a win. lol.
Hell!! Pot Limit Omaha H/L is a bit like being thrown into the deep end of a swimming pool, at five years of age vs a paddling pool.
AA23 and AAK3are the best hands.
