Re: Is there a tick to calculating post-flop odds in Omaha?
Using 4 is OK in holdem as the draws are usually 8 or 9 way draws and only occaisonally 15 plus way. Also in holdem the odds you calcualate against are usually TPTK and/or overpair so you can "get by" with 4 as a multiplier most of the time.
In Omaha your draws (that you are planning to commit all you chips too) are usually at least 13 way and often much more. Also usually you are considering the high likelihood of being up against a set and not against TPTK. Against a set because of redraws and lockouts the 4 multiplier breaks down much faster.
I suggest that the OP run 2-dimes simulations and record the ev's in a table to make better decisions for all his chips.
