Limit Omaha Hi is somewhat of a rare game. I have played it a lot, as it was the game of choice at my local casino. We would play it at $4/8 1/2kill to 8/16 full kill.

I think you are doing a good job with starting hands. You may want to loosen up a little in late position if the pot is unlikely to see too much action pre-flop. A one gap-er like T,9,7,6 isn't a bad hand to see a flop with for 1 bet.

Would you play this type hand in LP, if you thought there was at least a 40% chance of someone raising behind you?

Because it is limit drawing hands go way up in value. If it is like the game I played in there would be so much money in the pot that gut shot str8s or a back door flush were sometimes correct to chase. When you are getting 15-20/1 on your call you have to be in there with those kinds of hands. (this is why this game should be played pot-limit, you can lay the drawing hands 2/1 at any time by betting the pot)

This is why I don't play AA in late position after 5 people have limped, unless I have 2 broadway cards, or another broadway pair to go with it. Even when I flop a set, I still lose the majority of the time, as you almost always have 3 opponents going to the River. And, if two players hit a str8 on the Turn, you would pay dearly to see the River. You would also pay dearly, if you flopped a set and 2 people had nice drawing hands.

I think that you can put in some raises when you have hands other than the nuts a with re-draw. Keep in mind that a raise isn't going to drive people out unless you can re-raise someone and make people face 2 bets cold. A good spot is when you have top 2 and are getting action from a flush or str8 draw. With a re-raise you can get the pot 2 or 3 way and force some of the weaker draws out. If you can get someone to fold top or second pair with over cards you give yourself a much better chance to win with top 2, same goes for bottom end str8 draws and non nut flush draws.

I follow you on this.

If the pots are going to be huge you want to be seeing more than 3/20 hands if the cards warrant it. If the action pre-flop is somewhat mild (lots of calling) then you need to take more flops.

That's 3/30 when not in the blinds.

The down fall of most players in this game is going too far with hands that have no chance to win. This isn't the same as long shot hands that will make the nuts. 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] isn't ever going to be good on a 10 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] board even getting 100/1 on you call.

I'll chase a "long-shot" when it's the nutz, such as best str8, when there is no flush draw & I have pot odds, but if there is a flush draw, I've got to have much better odds, say 16:1 on a 3 outer to a str8 with a flush draw.

Still too tight? Thanks for your input.
