Default Re: Omaha 8 Books

My O8 needs considerable improvement, so it's not for me to say which books are the best or the most helpful. Time will tell, but here are my thoughts as a struggling O8 guy trying to learn the game:

I find Ray Zee's book to be very good. The Q&A's in it aren't really my style, but it's generally readable and makes sense. It's straightforward and very much belongs in the 2+2 'For Advanced Players' series.

Todd's SS chapter is to the point and is similar in tone to Reese's stud chapter in SS1. It's pretty compressed 'here's how it's done' O8.

Tenner/Krieger - the fonts and cards are a little small, but this seems okay. Only about halfway through it, but it's at least worth having. They cover some other aspects such as unusual blind structures, etc.

McEvoy/Cloutier - talk about recycled. The 'talking over beers' interview format is really not why I buy poker lit.

P.S. - I play fixed limit O8, not PL.
