If you're serious about Omaha you have to have this book. Simple as that.

One thing to point out is this book covers Omaha High only and may not be appropriate for the more popular Omaha 8 or better game.

Incorrect. It has a section on hi-low, including a couple of pages on PLO8.

And, the PL & NL Poker book has a section on PLO, and another on Hi-Lo split games including PLO8.

The OP was not clear on what he was looking for, but this is certainly not a first book (or even a second book) for someone new to O/8 hi-lo. For that game, first would be Tenner-Krieger, second would be Ray Zee.

For limit and pot limit omaha high, it's a must read. For Omaha hilo, read something else.

Agreed. And it's the best source on Omaha Hi.

I was responding to the statement that "this book covers Omaha High only," as 18 of 106 pages are on O8.
