I bought two omaha books but i don't know with which of both
i should start to read.

The books are:
1. Secrets of Professional Pot-Limit Omaha
2. how good is your Pot-Limit Omaha

I am a absolutly omaha-newbie so which of this books is better for a beginner?

Also what can i expect from this two books?
Which limits can you beat if you read and understand this book?

regards jay

Of the two, the second will be better. Slotboom's book is not for newbies.

The best for a complete beginner (because of how easy it is to find) would be Lyle Berman's section in Super System 2.

I have become a Rolph Slotboom fan. I am clueless about PLO but I believe How Good is Your Pot Limt Omaha is written by a very loose aggresive player with excellent post flop skills and a newbie should exercise extreme caution.

I own both.

Personally, I'd get "Omaha Poker" by Bob Ciaffone first. This is a fantastic introduction to the game. After that, read SS2 and the Slotboom book.

If you're a newbie, read SS2, then Slotboom, and stay away from Reuben or at least recognize newbies can't play that way
