Play with the odds Bill Boston, Any good?
 
I have Ray Zee's book and I am looking for another Omaha book. Is this one good or which one would you recommend.

A large part of Bill Boston's book is a ranking of hands of all hands from best to worst according to profitability. I'm not sure how to apply this information at the table. "How to win at Omaha high-low poker", by Mike Cappelletti offers another perspective from the Ray
Zee book that I have found to be enlightening. I also understand that the section on Omaha in the new Super System is very good, although I have not read it myself.

thanks, this one is on its way. "Winning Omaha/8" by Tenner & Kreiger showed up in the mail today.

Good read. It helped me understand a few important concepts of O8.

I recommend the Cappelletti book. It's not incredible, but it should help most players. IMO there really isn't a definitive O/8 book (even Ray Zee's book doesn't say much), and you'd be much better off getting your information from trusted online sources. I'd really recommend running some searches on RGP. This place generally blows, but the search feature rocks - for instance, many respected poker authors frequent these forums and actively respond to Omaha/8 posts, along with many 2+2 regulars..
