| Ok, heres one for you guys, what is the odds of A 2 making the nut low?, I kinda find this hard to calculate, b/c I dismiss the conterfeiting A or 2, but say the board reads A 3 4 5 K, its still the nut. | ||

| Well for 1 thing a low only happens in o8 45 % of the time and than some of the time your going to get counterfeited. Try to stay away from 1 way hands in hilo split games. Good Luck | ||

| Exactly. Play the A2 only when you're in a really really really fishy game where you'll be paid off handsomely for just half the pot or when it has something nice to go with it. For instance, any A2 with a suited ace is nice, just because you can have the flush draw and the nut low draw and all of a sudden there are a lot of good cards in the deck and some wonderful ones. Play hands like A288 - if things are fishy and you think that you can play the hand well, simply because if you flop a low draw with an 8, you're also on middle set, having a good chance to be good for the high. If the board pairs, you'll have a decent tight and if it doesn't you have a good chance at making the low. The long and short of it is that depending on the texture of the game there are a lot of omaha hands that you can splash in with preflop (generally in pot limit O8 at least where you can be fairly loose preflop - in limit you need to be a bit tighter) ... but don't get trapped just drawing for a low because a lot of the time you don't get there and a lot of the time you get quartered. Having A2 with a low draw and no other piece of the board is like having top pair with a lousy kicker in hold'em ... it's just a bad place to be ... you feel like you can't fold, but you know that if you call along you'll be juiced. Better to avoid those situations as much as you can. | ||
