Super System 2 has an okay section for beginners.

How Good is Your Pot Limit Omaha by Stewart Reuben is the only book I'm aware of that deals exclusively with PLO. I've never read it, so I can't recommend it, but it's an option. 'Stosh

the omaha 8 or better section in ss2 is good for a short section (better then the pot limit section). winning omaha/8 poker is good. both are on limit and high/low. however, once you learn the game, especially if you already understand nl or pot limit hold 'em you will have the tools to learn pot limit omaha. the ruben/ciaffone book, and ruben's book are ok, others seem to like them better then i do. hoh vol 1 & 2 will also help.

"Omaha Holdem: The Action Game" by Bob ciaffone is best. Reuben's "How good is your PLO" is good. SS2 is crap. i'm assuming PLO, not PLO8/O8

if it is pot limit 8 or better, and you don't know the game, i would add ray zee's book and split games, even though it is written for limit.

Ray Zee's book is great for split pot games. I have Stewart Rubin's pot Limit Omaha book on the way. I'll let you know what I think after I am done.

I am almost finished with "Winning Omaha/8" by Tenner and Krieger. I am a complete noob so it has been very helpful but I believe after I get some experience, I'll consider it to be weak tight but I don't know enough about Omaha hi/low split to make a good judgement about the book.

My first 3 choices would be:

1, and 2. Ciaffone- Omaha holdem poker, improve your poker.

3. Reuben- How good is your PLO. Not read it myself but I've heard a few say it is worthwhile.
