Re: need help in omaha h/l
Never draw to anything if the board is paired.
KQJT is marginally profitable BTW. It is an alright hand but you get it so seldom and its profit is relatively small, so playing it isn't essential for being a winning player.
The reason people are saying "don't play KQJT or QJT9" is because even if they are played perfectly, they don't turn a huge profit. Playing them badly will be a diasaster, though. It's probably better just not to distract yourself with those types of hands--leave those to the grinders who play 5k hands a week.
More beginner rules:
Never draw to anything if low is possible and you only have high potential (that's right, not even a nut flush draw).
Never play pocket pairs smaller than JJ unless accompanied by A2 or A3.
Pocket pairs 22-88 are just completely, absolutely worthless, and usually detract from the value of a starting hand.
Don't get into a reraising battle with a non-nut full house.
You probably won't be a hugely winning player playing this conservatively, but following these rules will make it much less likely you blow it completely during the O/8 orbits.
