quick couple of basic tips for playing omaha HiLo.

 1)  A2 is not the absolute nuts, never has been and never will.As part of a strong hand it is very useful but does not play well on its own.

 2) NEVER call down multiple streets whilst heads up chasing a draw that even if you hit will only give you a split. The main purpose is to win the whole pot not half or even worse quarter.

 3) practice your board reading skills. realise where you stand in the pot. Then you can make the right decision wether to carry on or fold before you commit yourself to the hand.


    Enjoy this great variation of the game.

     Common mistake greg. You see it all the time people calling preflop raises with that sort of hand hoping to get lucky and get a split pot.
