    Default Omaha starting hands

    I am putting this in the online forum because I really only want it to apply to Omaha 6max online.

    what's a good stable approach to weird non draw value hands in omaha, that are probably ahead pre-flop, such as or
    . I don't really want to open fold these, I don't really want to 3bet, and I sure don't want to be in a 3-4 way flop after a raise.

    Should I try and see a flop/set mine as cheap as I can? should I more often than not try and isolate with a raise when I have position?

    I find myself not even getting involved with hands like these because unless I flop a set on a dry board I really have no showdown value.

    What do you guys think?

    Oh hey dere. For 6-max, there's this.

    Personally, I prefer split-pot games.

    Edit: Please note that playing loosely is very tempting in Omaha, but not advised. Playing some hands may seem like a good idea, but they'll end up costing you money.

    I always do horrible with Omaha. It's so tempting to limp with whatever 4 crap cards you get dealt.

    During current Omaha H/L session you were dealt 9 hands and saw flop:
    - 2 out of 2 times while in big blind (100%)
    - 1 out of 1 times while in small blind (100%)
    - 6 out of 6 times in other positions (100%)
    - a total of 9 out of 9 (100%)

    I was actually up at this point. Those hands were actually not bad.

    if no one's entered the pot yet, i'd come in for a raise with both of those hands in any position at a 6max table, except for the blinds where i think limping should be standard. cbet some flops/situations, otherwise just play for set value.

    if there's a limper or two in front, i'd overlimp shitty JJ-KK and just play for sets. these are like the worst of the worst high pocket pair hands though, i'd probably be raising stuff like QQ65 one suit or whatever.
