Starting Hands

[BudBundy 0]

I usually play LHE and i started playing limit omaha high this week.I can't figure out which hands should i play and which hands i shouldnt.I think flop and river are very important in this game(i usually see %25 of flops in HE) so i usually try to see the flop unless i am dealed something like 2-4-7-j rainbow.am i making a mistake by trying to see the flop most of the time?and which hands should i play preflop?Thanks for your help and excuse my bad English.

Your English is better than a high percentage of the posters here .Don't see as many flops as you are seeing. Try to avoid small pairs, especially out of position. Small pairs make small full houses, and those are death. I see a lot of flops in PLO, but in position. It is much harder to control the pot size out of position. The hands that I prefer preflop are connecting cards and double-suited big cards. Connecting cards (like j-10-9-8, q-j-10-9, etc.) are nice because they have a lot of possibilities. Big pairs are the most overrated hands in omaha. I almost never raise with them so that when I hit a hand with them, it is easier to get paid off. Also, keeping the pot relatively small with big pairs makes it less profitable for your opponents if they have a big draw against you.
