Default Re: Omaha Newbie Help

pre-flop raising has been discussed here quite a bit and it is one of the most troubling aspects of switching from limit holdem to limit o8. I used to not raise much at all in limit omaha8~3%. In the last month, I've moved it up to 6% and my winrate has sky-rocketed. It's nearly double in the last 20k hands. Some of this is running hot, but the big difference is preflop raising.

Raise with your quality hands. On party, the fish will still call, building a bigger pot for you, and the more talented will get out of the way unless they really have something. It's lead to many more scoops as mediocre highs with my nut lows are holding up much, much more often. I'm raising all AA2, AA3, A23, A2xy suited to the ace, A3xy double-suited, A24x, A25x, and a few more. It's paying off big.
