In what book did it say not to raise the first three position in full ring PLO?

Does, in general, the forum find this sound advice?

I'll summarize the general correct consensus on the forum.

The hand in this thread you should raise like 50-60% of the time from blinds or EP if you have been raising this hand (and other premium hands from EP)

Lyle Berman says it in Super System 2.

Never raise before the flop from a front position.

So here is a general rule: do not raise before the flop from under the gun or from the two blind positions, because you'll be over-committing yourself to your hand.

I personally find Berman's advice to be ultra-nitty, but I don't play full ring nor do I know enough to have anybody pay me to write a chapter on Omaha.

I concur with never raising in 1st few positions. AA ain't worth crap in omaha unless u flop set or nut flush draw. Omaha is game of position, pure and simple.

Only hands i raise preflop in EP are those that are pure-value plays, such as AAQKds, AKAKds, AAJ10ds, ect. I would never raise with naked AAxx in EP becuase being out of position signifcantly outweighs the value of a bare AAxx, especially in a multi-way pot.
