Omaha 8/b

I have just recently started playing some O8, and so far I have been doing pretty well (after reading many posts in this forum.) I am wondering what a good win rate is for this game, in BB/hr. Also, I plan on getting Ray Zee's book. Are there any others I should get? Thanks for the input.

Ray's book has a beginning strategy section as well as an advanced section - the only think it misses is various odds.

For BB/hr, it really depends on the looseness of your opponents. I have been making about 4BB/hr on Party Poker. But that is with 8 peeps seeing most flops.

I would recommend starting with Winning Omaha/8 Poker by Lou Krieger & Mark Tenner B as it appears to be written for the Omaha 8B beginner and then move to Ray's book for depth.

I'm beating the Low Limit's online for roughly .05 to 1 BB/hr at various sites but I'm still working out the leaks in my game. Maybe I need to play at Party more, but I'm chasing bonuses elsewhere.
