Question on Omaha/8 books (mainly limit play)
I'm looking to learn this game well. I find it to be the most enjoyable of the 'window' games. I did a search and found the following books for high/low. Anyone have any suggestions as to what two (I guess) would probably help the most (or reasons not to get certain books).
Thanks.

Bob Ciaffone's Omaha Holdem Poker has a section on limit omaha as well. And a section on hi lo split, but doesn't have a section combining the two.
I've only read Bob's book, so I can't really comment except to say that Zee's book is widely held in the most positive regard, FWIW. |

Super System II has a nice short chapter on limit O8. Ray Zee's book has the best information of the O8 books that I've read. So if I was going to get two books those are the two I would get. I quick read of the SSII chapter should get you off to the right track. Then you can take the time to read Zee's book.
Cappelletti's book is a good read because he adds lots of hand examples but I thought it was a little disorganized. The Tenner/Krieger book is a very basic introduction to the game. The other books are much better. I haven't read the last two books you mentioned. Good luck. |

Re: Question on Omaha/8 books (mainly limit play)
Forgive the stupid question, but I was in a couple of casion's in AZ this past week and while I doubled up nicely in a HE ring game, I noticed several tables of Omaha. Now, I do not recall seeing them listed as Omaha/8, Omaha Hi-Lo or any other such variant, just Omaha. Could someone explain the difference?
***Nevermind...just found some good info. Still, which is played more in casinos? ---Leavenfish |

8/b is what is typically played, limit omaha-high only is pretty much a dead game, although Pot Limit Omaha is still plenty alive on the web.

Pot Limit Omaha seems to be a very popular game to me. I thought it was actually more popular than 8 or better. Limit Omaha, Limit O/8, and NL Omaha 0/8 are mainly internet games.
