Should I start at omaha hi and work my way to 8?

My poker backround consists of NLHE, Stud HI, and Razz. Also what books or articles do you suggest for someone starting off playing O8 or Omaha Hi?

[/ QUOTE ]Decide what you want to play first (high or high/low).

There's a separate forum for books and publications. Go there and type "Omaha" in the search box. You'll get a listing of a collection of threads discussing the topic.

I generally advise Omaha-8 newbies to read the Omaha-8 chapter in Super System 2 and also read the Omaha-8 section in Ray Zee's classic Split Poker book. Both are excellent and address different aspects of Omaha-8.

I don't feel qualified to recommend a straight high Omaha book. (I own and have read and studied a whole bunch of Omaha-8 and also Omaha-high books, pretty much everything that's out there).
