I find that to be very good practice along with calculating odds and outs with the hands. I actually stumbled upon a concept while dealing out an Omaha hand. 6h 7d 8s 9d vs Jh 9h Kc 3s board = 3h 6c Ks 8h. When you calculate the odds from the standpoint of the first hand you conclude that your chances of hitting an out is 10/44 = .2272 (22.72%), but when I ran it through the odds calculater on CardPlayer.com it said I had a 25% chance of winning, which made me think I missed an out [11/44 = .25]. I was confused, so I worked my way through it and it's easy to see that when both hands are considered your chances are 10/40 = .25 (25%). At first I didn't know why, but it became clear to me that as more cards that don't help me were accounted for my odds improved. It's a simple concept, but I'll never forget it because I worked my way through it and really understood it in a hands on way.

Really bad, because you never (rarely) see your opponents cards in Omaha or Holdem.
10/44 is the right calculation when you're in the hand.
