A few Omaha books

[Fangface]

Im sure there's lots of posts like this here, but I hope you don't mind helping me out anyway. I've been playing Omaha High for about 3 months now, doin' ok. Finally I've decided to buy some books about this fascinating game. Could you please rate these books for med and help me out with what to invest in. It's a JUNGLE out there :-)

I would highly recommend the 3 Ciaffone and Reuben books.

What do you think about this "Winners Guide to Omaha Poker" by Ken Warren book? It seems like most ppl dislike it?

I¨'ve not read his Omaha books, but his hold'em books should be burnt. (Or given to your favorite fish!)

I'm reading it now. I haven't yet formed an opinion of it. It appears to be focused on High/Low split.

An excellent book. Overall the finest on its topic that I've read.

A brief, but very solid book about Omaha High.

I wasn't impressed with the Omaha content of this book.

Fang, I have it and I would not recommend Warren's book. Most of it is centered around teaching you how to read the board! And yes, it is focused on Hi/Lo, although it is somewhat vague at times what game he is talking about.

2 Ciaffone books are somewhat short but really good material. I don't have Reuben "How good is your PLO?", but since he was apart of the other book with Ciaffone, it should be good.

I didnt think the Ciaffone/Rueben book was good at all for Omaha, but I have already read a few books. The PLO chapter was rambling and I don't think it really had a point, the split game section was worthless.

Thanks for all answers, I've just ordered the Pot Limit/No Limit book by Ciaffone and I'll try to get the Omaha poker: The action game next. I'll stay away from the Ken Warren book [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

You forget "Science of poker" by Mahmood N. Mahmood. The best material on omaha after the texts by ciaffone/reuben (read them all, they are all good).

Does this book deal with O8 or O high, or maybe both of them?
