Re: Rolf\'s CP Column and Starting Hand Requirements
AKJTr is a hand that can get you in a lot of trouble because it plays well in small pots and poorly in big pots. I think we can all agree that broadway cards are far more likely to be in play after the flop. This means that when such a hand hits the flop, it also hits your opponents more often than not. Omaha is to a large part a game of straights, flushes, and boats. Roughly 40% of all unpaired final boards will have at least 3 of a suit. This seriously erodes the value of this hand.
This hand is the equivalent I'd say of something like KJo in HE. It has real strength, but it's dangerous.
