as a fellow north end fan i think its only fair to tell u - u r going to lose badly with all those hands/ the 9 10 j q was the only starter worth perhaps raising the pot - but please to enjoy and benefit from omaha - pot limit only - you won't get bored you will fall in love with it
I haven't really played NLO, but I think the first hand is a snap call. AAAx, especially with 1 suit, is a pre-flop favourite against every other hand, and you're crushing a big part of your opponents expected shoving range (KKxx and QQxx). The problem with aces in Omaha is that while you're ahead pre-flop, it's hard to improve and they play badly post-flop. Here you have a chance to get all your chips in pre-flop when you know you're ahead. Your edge will not be as big as in hold'em, but even against JT98ds you're 55%-45%, and in Omaha you should be happy to take those kind of small edges.
PS: DYM dynamics may supercede Omaha dynamics, and I don't really play DYMs.

Cheers m8
Got to admit after playing a PLO DYM and a NLO DYM yesterday i much preffered the PLO. The NLO did seem like a bit of a luckfest compared to the PLO

Edit - Then again wouldn,t the more skillfull players being playing PLO and the the ones who like to gamble playing NLO , so could it not be more beneficial to try and find a strategy at NLO DYM,s ? Its a bit early to say but so far they seem more popular on here as well

I think as it was on the bubble i was still in good shape w/o putting chips at risk and as lambert pointed out aprt from my aces which are very unlikely to improve , unless my AJ comes in i,m playing against 6 hands , which is like 6 handed at holdem but your not getting 6x the odds.
Having said that i think most that i,ve seen play do like to get aces all in pre even in NL Omaha. i think its possibly a better hand at NL Omaha than it is at PLO as you cant get it all in pre - Just shows how different the games are
