Default Re: Hand rankings

Dave, I certainly agree that postflop play is where the money is made in pot limit omaha, and that some very tight players for whom aces constitute a sizeable proportion of their hands played when not in an unraised blind are probably long term losers since they can't get away from them in multiway pots or very bad boards when they don't already have at least half their stack in preflop.

Nonetheless, as porsche pointed out, starting standards are the foundation that enables you to play well postflop, and playing too many hands in any form of poker is just playing too loose and leads to either loosing or not winning as much as one should. There is all the difference in the world in playing a hand with a suited dangler like KQJ2 in early position with a big stack and playing it near the button. You are most likely going to flop a draw with it, and being out of position against other drawing players who have a 4th card working is just a recipe for disaster long term.
