Omaha low limit book?

[Matt24]

what is the best out there? Thanks

For Omaha/8, it's Tenner/Krieger.

There's also plenty of good stuff at Steve Badger's website and Annie Duke's website.

Hellmuth's Omaha/8 chapter isn't bad.

For Omaha hi-only, Ciaffone's book is reputed to be the best, but I haven't read it.

What do you think of Capelleti's Omaha8 book?

[maurile]

I got some useful information out of Cappelletti's book, but it's not as good an introduction to the game as the Tenner/Krieger book. It's less well organized and less well written (which is saying something). Strategically, it gets into some more advanced plays than Tenner/Krieger do, but it is less thorough.

I would recommend Cappelletti's book for anyone serious about Omaha/8, but I think it comes in third behind Tenner/Krieger and Ray Zee.

I'd say just go straight to Zee. While the Tenner/Krieger aims to be specifically about low limit games, the writing is awkward in that "down home poker advice" style, a fair amount of the books is spent on explaining things to newbs (hand ranking, board reading, getting counterfeited, etc.), and the book gives almost no advise about how to adjust to table texture. T/K recommends tight play, but almost too tight for the typical low limit game, imo.

The only way T/K is "better" than Zee is that they have starting hand charts and how-to-play-the-flop charts, but Zee tells you how to think about starting hands and how to think about playing the flop and beyond, which I think is far more valuable.
