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 asor
. 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."You can ask the sky to summon the wind, but the sky will summon what wind it will."

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."You can ask the sky to summon the wind, but the sky will summon what wind it will."

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.
