Thinking Poker Podcast Tip #2

In the semi-monthly game I've been playing in Weatherford we have introduced Omaha, and even more recently we've added Omaha High-Low, which I don't love but am trying to get better at as quickly as possible because I think it will be a profitable game for me in the end if I can learn the correct way to play it.  In a recent podcast from late last year on the Thinking Poker website I listen to, they included an Omaha High-Low hand that incorporated a tip I wanted to get down onto paper.

"Non-nut lows are a lot more valuable when an ace or deuce is on the board, given that ace-deuce is so commonly played.  When ace-deuce does make the nut low, especially in a raised pot, it’s pretty likely out there, versus when there is an ace on the board, now the chances are better of someone else having a non-nut low be the winner.  It’s far more likely that someone with a four-three will win for the low with an ace on the board than ace-four will win with a three on the board."
