Omaha8 books

[jfk]

Ciaffone is said to be doing a rewrite and/or new edition of his well regarded Omaha book.

Ciaffone's and Zee's offerings are generally considered the gold standard.

I'm unfamiliar with the Tenner/Krieger book but am now curious.

I've read about half of Cappelletti. Clearly he didn't splurge any of his Omaha winnings on an editor. It is very disjointed which really impacts a reader's ability to get a lot from his writing. The book has been described as a collection of his Card Player articles. I wish it were even that organized. That he never loses a hand in any of his examples is fairly curious as well. I remember and learn from my losses. Cappelletti evidently doesn't. This is one book I regret buying and there aren't many.

I've skimmed/read about 2/3 of the SS2 O8B section and it looks very promising and educational.

A sleeper is the very basic overview in Helmuth's "Play Poker Like the Pros". While I'm not high on the book's other sections, the O8B chapter gives a pretty fair if concise overview of starting hands and playing possibilities. I got more out of this chapter than the Cappelletti offering.

I'd be generally leery of the Cloutier/McEvoy book (though I've not read it) based on their average (at best) hold 'em work.
