Best Omaha Hi/Lo Book(s)?
I'm sure that this has been asked before, so I apologize.
Which is the best book to learn how to play Omaha Hi/Lo well? Ray Zee's book seems to garner a lot of respect. Mike Cappelletti's and Tenner's books are liked as well. Is there one book that stands out from the crowd? |

Re: Best Omaha Hi/Lo Book(s)?
i have not read the others. i based my opinion on several peoples opinions who i respect (i.e. m. malmuth, r slotboom, a. duke), and if i remember correctly they all said the tenner book was average at best. Also the book has taught me how to be a winning Omaha 8 player, i figured this was enough. On a side note, get your hands on the World Poker Players Conference dvd. In it Mark Tenner and Linda Johnson give a seminar on costly mistakes that many omaha 8 players make.

Always trust the word of the person that publishes the book.

If you're a beginner, maybe give the Tenner book a shot first then progress to the Ray Zee's book. I haven't gotten around to reading the O8 chapter in SS2, but it has potential to be good having been written by Bobby Baldwin and Mark Gregorich. |

If you can afford them, get Mike Caps book, Ray Zee's book, Marc Tenner's book, Bill Bostons book.
If you can only afford two get Mike and Rays book. If you can only afford one it's close, slight edge to Ray because quite a bit of Mikes book comes from his articles on Card Player. Also read steve badgers website and Mike Caps card player articles and Roth's (slothbloom?) articles. |

Re: Best Omaha Hi/Lo Book(s)?
I really enjoyed reading the Omaha Hi/Lo section from SS2. Well structured easy read with solid advice. I guess I learned a few new things from the book cause I won my first Omaha hi/lo multitourney on Tuesday!
