No limit Omaha HiLo gives bang for the buck

For those players who are familiar with Omaha HiLo, this limit played at a low level of entry seems to give a good player more bang for the buck.  The reason is that you can protect a hand and at the same time take advantage of your superior play in the game.   There are suggested rules such as only wager on good starting hands that at least have an ace in them.   Do not go crazy with raises when you start with an ace deuce.  Two bad things can happen.  The low does not materialize or another player ties you and you get quartered.  If the hand looks like it may win both high and low, bet with vigor and in this level of no limit you can afford to lose, as the entry stake was small.

Be careful about three of a kind, as this hand is not as strong as it looks, since all it takes is a flush or a straight to beat it.  When a board is flushing or has a pair, it is very likely there will be a flush or a full house in the show down.  Keep track of calling stations in the game or players who seem to play a lot of weak hands.  These are good players to wager against as they may even call or raise.
