Keeping stats on Omaha

[Gahnia radula]

Is there any pokertraker style program that keeps stats on Omaha hi/8

If not does anyone have a good method for keeping track of Omaha stats....maybe an excel spreadsheet or something?

you could try bill boston's book on simulations for the game. it's not perfect, but there is plenty of useful info.

a pokertracker-style program would be useless for omaha. you would be dead before you got reliable results on each starting hand, with 5000 possibilities.

I emailed the PokerTracker author this very question last year. He hinted that it might be a possibility for a future version, but didn't say when. Might be time to ask him again.

it would still keep track of your other statistics like flop %, etc.
