Please recommend some good books/articles on Omaha strategy

[Bandgeek]

I've searched the bookstores and all the Omaha books are for hi-low split, I can't find anything for plain Omaha high, either pot limit or limit.

Thanks in advance for your help

Someone needs to add this to the FAQ:

Books:
Omaha Poker Holdem by Bob Ciaffone (Note: This is out of print, but can be purchased online)
How Good is your Pol Limit Omaha by Stewart Reuben
Pot Limit and No Limit Poker by Ciaffone and Reuben

There is a section on PLO in Super System II, though IMO it is not worth buying the book just for that section.

Articles:
Rolf Slotboom has written many PLO articles, most of which can be found in the archives at Cardplayer.com

There are several websites with PLO strategy articles. Google is your friend.

thanks for reminding me to clean up the faq a little

I like the tone of that FAQ. "And turn down that rock and roll music! Godderm kids."

It looks good. My personal favorite is the link to ranking of poker hands. Priceless! /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Thanks guys. I know it's not much but it should cover a few things we hear a lot.

A book has to be absolutely useless, or in fact harmful, to be worth less than what you pay for it. "Not worth buying the book" should be extremely harsh criticism for a poker book.

If you are going to blatently twist the meaning of my words, you might want to leave out the full quote next time.

I think the Berman chapter is faulty but not terrible; for a brand new player it probably wouldn't be all that bad and might even more accessible then the Reuben/Caffione stuff (which is much better material by far but not as oriented toward new players). But, I agree if that's the only reason you are buying that book you might be better off just reading it in the bookstore. However, the Todd Brunson chapter on Stud H/L 8b is fantastic and the Omaha H/L 8b sesction by Bobby Baldwin and Mark Gregorich is solid. Also, Daniel Negraneu's advice on 2-7 Triple Draw, while not revolutionary or earth-shattering, is very good primer on the game and would allow even an inexperienced draw player to fair pretty well at the game.
