Playable hands in omaha?

[RichGambler]

I'm starting to play this game and want to know what is considered good preflop strategy in omaha?

I'm playing AAxx KKxx QQxx JJxx TTxx
Any 4 broadway cards
Any 4 cards in a row if 5678+
Any 2 pair 5566+
Any Ax suited + 2 broadway cards

Is that close to a good preflop strategy?

You're missing hands some major premium hand catagories, like suited A + 3 in a row (like A567), single gappers (like 5789) - especially double suited, and pairs in a three run (like 8876).

Then there are things like suited A + 3 with a gap (like A578), double suited double gappers (like T975ds) and pairs in a three run with a gap (like 8875), etc.

not to mention pseudo run triple gappers (like 3579) and "low two-gap double connectors" (like 4578), especially if unsuited.

As a rich gambler, surely you'll want to play every hand, given that you're never worse than 55-45? I can phrase statements like questions too?

I like quad aces in my too [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Preflop it really depends how much ppl have joined the pot allready. Every extra limper makes the range bigger to call
