Thanks for starting this discussion, after reading the book I have been thinking of how to implement these concepts in my omaha game.

I agree that the target SPR for AAxx type hands should probably be 1, if the flop is scary with multiple opponents and your facing a pot sized bet you’re not really committed.

For most other playable omaha hands that have ‘nut potential’ i think a SPR of 13 probably is very good, you don’t want it to be much higher because then you cant get your stack in the middle with only three rounds of betting. To reach this target i sometimes miniraise preflop if looks like the pot is going to be too small otherwise and this sometimes gives you a free card to improve if you miss the flop.

A kind of hands that i don’t think you can play profitable with a SPR of 13 are the double suited hands where you aren’t drawing to the nut flushes, maybe a target SPR of 4 would make these hands easier to play. But then these hands are trouble hands for me so I don’t know.
