Re: Trying to learn PLO
You're right in part - one of the probs in Omaha is that hands run much closer preflop - even a hand like AAKK will lose regularly. If you have a hand like KKQJds then sure, that's a no brainer - but these hands are incredibly uncommon. You could probably play the game for a few years and fold this hand each time you were dealt it and not make much difference to your results.
Why? Because it is so rare. And when you connect with a flop you like, occasionally your opponent will be drawing dead. But often they will outdraw you.
So you have to make the most of what you are dealt. KKT8ss ain't brilliant but it ain't bad either. I'd go with a call in the scenario outlined here.
