Hi ProDonkey - Clearly A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img],2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img],3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img],4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] is probably the best starting hand at the table and has a +e.v. before the flop. It's a premium hand!

Some people believe that's all there is to it.

Rightly or wrongly, at least in a fixed-limit Omaha-8 game against intelligent opponents who are trying to put you on cards in order to out-play you, whatever the stakes, I think there's more.

I like your line of play better in a Texas hold 'em game where fortunes do not change as much on the turn of each board card.

I also like your line of play better in a pot-limit game.

To each his own.
