OK I'm getting confused already... too many variants being discussed at once...
altho better than having one variant thread lost in 100 nlhe ....
Starters are crucial in all these games, more than NLHE where position and stack sizes can make any 2 playable sometimes...
Before discussing postflop strategy should we not talk starters?
Yes, i agree.
Omaha: Wraps, double suited high cards are good. AA or KK not so. Need six combinations strong, not just a good HE hand with rag rag...
O8: A2 or A3, with two other good cards hi or lo, again looking for double suited.
Stud8: I go by Todd's Platinum Rule: If not 3 cards that can lead to a scoop, don't play (depending on what's showing on table and your board of course).
More to it than that, but its a start (lol)
Never been much of a reader and found playing countless hours live made up for a lot of reading . Attended UHC (University of Hard Cards). Don't know if there is a 'rule' for it but I use a general application for stud hi of needing 2 cards that have high improvement potential, based on the visible board cards. The more of my 'outs' in play elsewhere on the boards, the less I am interested in joining a pot where improvement potential is minimal or reduced even WITH 2 of the 3 being good starter cards.
