Re: PLO8 preflop
[ QUOTE ]
You should almost never raise preflop. If you can get all-in with something like AA2x, then do so. But otherwise, hands run close in value preflop so that raises usually gain little or nothing in EV terms, and you don't want to knock out weaker hands that might give you action later. The real money in this game is made postflop.

Do not listen to this terrible advice. Omaha8 hands do not run close together in value, the top hands outperform average hands on an incredible scale. You want to raise with good scooping hands or really strong one way hands. You want to charge people that are playing chump hands a premium.
