Default Re: Omaha Odds/Probabilities Question...

Something like 34.7% for or 1.88:1 against?

That's right. Did you compute it yourself, or did you look it up?

Also, can rule of four and two be used for a ballpark figure when I'm in the middle of an Omaha hand here if number of outs on turn and river are identical? 13 outs times 4 is 52, about 2% off...

The formulas I gave you give the exact numbers, so you can compare them to the 4/2 numbers, and decide for yourself if they are sufficiently accurate for your purposes. I've never had any use for the 4/2 rule myself, mainly because I want odds rather than percentages, and I don't have any problem memorizing a few numbers for the required pot odds to see the turn. The numbers for 2 cards to come are not that useful unless you don't have to pay 2 bets to see the river.
