Re: Is there a tick to calculating post-flop odds in Omaha?
There are more complicated outs in Omaha than Hold'em, especially if you play high-low. But if you've determined which cards win and lose for you on the turn and river, it's pretty much the same. The only difference is you see two more cards in Omaha. In Hold'em you should really multiply by 100/47 = 2.13 on the river and 100/47 + 100/46 = 4.30 on the turn; in Omaha it's 100/45 = 2.22 on the river and 100/45 + 100/44 = 4.49 on the turn, so using 2 and 4 is about equally good in both games.
Actually, it's a bit more complicated than even that, but for practical playing purposes, 2 and 4 are close enough most of the time.
