That just leaves "ice-tiger" to be arranged for tonight, for last weeks comp, & I'll sort that now.
Good starting hands in Omaha should be connected in some way, ideally with at least one high flush draw, and a high pair. That way you can flop straight, flush and house draws. an example would be
Ad As Kd Qh
If the Queen was a spade, then you would have an even better hand with 2 flush draws.
In PLO8, there is always a high hand, but not always a low hand, so you should be primarily playing to win the high hand. Your low hand should always be considered secondary. However in PLO8 you are looking for a starting hand that would ideally give you a chance of winning both, a scoop. Therefore the best starting hands would be
A A 2 3 with the Aces suited to the low cards e.g. Ad Ah 2d 3h
A K 2 3 double suited is also a premium starting hand.
Rainbow cards in your starting hand reduce your chances, because you cannot have a flush draw. A A 2 3 rainbow therefore is a great low drawing hand, but not as strong as you would think for the high.
Be careful if you only have two low cards in your hand, as they may be counterfeited if one of them arrives on the board. E.g. if you have A 2 K J, with either the ace or King being suited, you have a good starting hand for the high, and initially for the low, however if an A or 2 comes on the flop, turn or river, they negate the card in your hand for the low. This would mean that you would need 4 separate low cards(8 or under) on the board to even make a low.
Betting comes with experience, but halved pots, quarter pots, etc, makes calculating your odds slightly more tricky than in holdem. My rule of thumb is that if there are 2 different low cards on the flop, then I assume the majority of the time, that there will be a low hand. At this point, you should half the pot into the high pot and the low pot. if you only have a chance of the high, or if you only have a chance of the low, you should disregard half the pot when calculating your odds. If the turn does not bring a separate low, then I usually re-evaluate the chances of a low card arriving on the river.
I try to think of the low hands as a five figure sum, the lowest figure being the best.
54,321 being the best(the nut low)
87,654 being the worst
there are five different six high hands available, so even if you have a six low, it may not be the 2nd nuts.
64,321 2nd Nut low
65,321
65,421
65,431
