View Full Version : Omaha books?


10-04-2001, 08:25 PM
Can anyone give me some ideas for books to teach me how to play Omaha?


I've been playing Hold 'em for a year now, but I've never once played Omaha. So, anything out there that's good for a beginner?


Thanks.

There aren't many. I suspect you are asking for Omaha 8 or better.


I think Zee's book is only book to consider. But then again there is only one other book I know of besides this one that is Shane Smith's book. Which I thought was rather mediocre and is terribly small for the price. (that is there is very little material in it).


For Omaha high Ciaffone has a book which has been highly recommended, and there is a book by Cloutier and McEvoy. If the Cloutier book is anything like their Holdem book it is best avoided unless you can notice their many many mistakes.
