Found a great web site for O8

If you just play the "top 18%" of starting hands (or whatever), irrespective of the other players at the table and your position, you're leaving money at the table.

If I simply evaluate the Hutchinson rating for all 270,725 O8 hands, I find only 16% rated at 18 points or higher. IMHO, 18-point hands are pretty marginal and I want to be in late position or some other favorable situation. Otherwise, I will fold most of them. Hutchinson recommends only playing hands rated at 20-points or better (12% of all hands).

Only 3% of all starting hands rate above 25 points, which I will play in almost any situation.

I believe there are several variants of Hutchinson. IIRC, I coded up this one: http://www.homestead.com/ehutchison/OmahaSystem.html

I always viewed the Hutchinson system as 'training wheels' for newbies. Rather tight and geared towards keeping the fresh meat from losing his/her shirt before getting a good understanding for O8.
I am biased though, since it is how I got into the game, and now I'm only a moderate fish. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Buzz pretty much said everything i wanted to say.

i think these articles are good for uncovering topics to think about, but i think his conclusions are not necessarily that useful. it's important to adapt to the players at your table and even the players in a specific hand. the kinds of sweeping generalizations that this guy seems to make just strikes me as hollow.

Agreed... articles might be useful for beginners or people who stick to loose B&M LO8 games. Didn't seem very interesting to me though.
