Omaha8 books

Auren · #1 05-30-2006, 05:28 AM

I got my hands on couple of Omaha8 books and would like to hear advice if they are worth reading, which one of two I got is better and is there some better ones available?

Books I got are:

Ray Zee: High-Low-SPlit Poker for advances players - Seven-Card Stud and Omaha Eight-or-better

Mike Cappelletti: How to win at Omaha High-Low Poker

check the reviews at o8poker.com, i have both but haven't read the second one much yet.

Winning Omaha 8 by Tenner and Krieger should be your first book.

Then read Mike's book, then Ray's. That should be a fairly logical
progression for you. If you can sneak in the O8 chapter of SS2
between these, I like that order even better. Good Luck!

This is by far my favorite, it lays down a very tight preflop strategy that will make anyone a winner if applied. Also suggests different moves with different flops, when to fold/check/call/raise. As more experience is gained its easy to move up limits with this foundation as experience in O8 will teach you some finer points that cant be expressed in a book.

I have already read SS2 Omaha8 chapter. I guess I read Cappelettis book next and Zees last. And after that check if I feel like buying any more. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Thanks for answers.

I'd suggest reading Zee's first. However, I quit reading Cappeletti's about 70 pages in.

Check out "Championship Omaha" by TJ Cloutier and Tom McEvoy

I actually first learned omaha8 from playwinningpoker.com. Now I am trying to get bit more skills and figure how to play shorthanded etc.

I read about 100 pages of Cappaletti's book so far. I think I have learned some, but that book seems to be little bits of information in totally random order. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

How about Bob Ciaffone's book. Can you still get it?
