"This is a phenomenal book on Omaha. It's easy to understand and explains the reasoning behind its principles very well. I read this book years ago and go back to it frequently, as it's still one of the difinutive books on Omaha I know of. To be clear though, the methods within are appropriate for a very certain kind of play. Full ring cash games are the exclusive domain of the material, you have to be able to sit and play very tight aggresive. If you play short handed or tournaments, you will need to study other sources. But if you are mostly playing lower-mid stakes full cash games irl or online this is solid, fundamental, actionable and difficult to exploit poker."

- This is a phenomenal book on Omaha. It's easy to understand and explains the reasoning behind its principles very well. I read this book years ago and go back to it frequently, as it's still one of the difinutive books on Omaha I know of. To be clear though, the methods within are appropriate for a very certain kind of play. Full ring cash games are the exclusive domain of the material, you have to be able to sit and play very tight aggresive. If you play short handed or tournaments, you will need to study other sources. But if you are mostly playing lower-mid stakes full cash games irl or online this is solid, fundamental, actionable and difficult to exploit poker.
- this is simply one of the best books i have read on any subject. extremely well written.
i would give one proviso and that is that you shouldn't use this book for 6-max online. anyway, that game is often 4 or 5 handed and then it's a rakefest with almost no winners (and i'll go as far as to say no statistically significant winners whatsoever until you get way up in stakes).
this book is somewhat nitty but exactly what you want for full table plo at bricks and mortar casinos. 6-8 seeing a limped flop. 3 to 5 seeing a raised flop.
the plo8 section is really well done too. i see it as a free add-on to the plo section and it seems like it is a nice synthesis of the information out there on plo-8. plo high is quite a bit more straight-forward to bet/raise or not. plo-8 has alot more subtelty i think. and jeff does a great job on this.
one area where i think he may go a bit far is his worry about free rolls. it seems like any nut straight you have on a flush draw board has some chance of a free roll. but i wouldn't go overboard on worrying about it myself. free roll is situations like when you have the nut straight but there is a flush draw out there. i guess another reason why there is so much respect for suited aces over suited kings/queens/etc.
the above paragraph gets into the basic gist of the book's strategy. you want to be the one with an ace high flush vs. a 10 to King high flush..... the other basic of plo strategy is that you want alot of different ways to make a strong hand. naked aces aren't really that valuable
jeff did some later books but they are to certain degree about six max. and i don't think that game is sustainable at all online and doesn't exist anywhere B&M that i know of.
one of his later books though has alot of good info on spr. basically there comes a point where you've put some much money in the pot that it's fine to go with your jack high flush and hope for the best. better of course to have a redraw to a full house.... jeff's good spr work has been in cardplayer. not sure if it's behind a subscription wall or not these days.
great book.......... maybe someone, even jeff, can clarify as to his content in later plo books.............. ciaffone's book is really good too, but very basic. and lyle's berman's chapters in SS2 is good too - This book took me from clueless novice (and I thought I had a clue) to fully understanding what the objective of the game is and how to achieve that objective. The subtitle says it all The Big Play Objective. The author does an amazing job at explaining that there is only one goal in PLO... to take your opponents entire stack. Jeff teaches the basics first and just from the first 3 chapters I was already so much wiser about this great game. Every single page has golden knowledge that is indispensable! In my honest opinion, this is the best poker book ever written. No other book has even come close in improving my game overnight. When I finished reading this book, I went from the occasional winner (without a clue to what I was really doing) to a constant winner and knowing why I was winning is the best feeling of all.
For any player wishing to get better at PLO play, this book is your gateway to your best play possible. - This book is a must if you want to get a grasp of Omaha. You may not follow every suggestion he makes, but he gives you a very useful framework from which to make good decisions. In my opinion, it is worth its price for the chapter on starting hand selection alone. You could learn all of this the hard way, but this book will accelerate your learning curve and have you playing winning Omaha sooner.
- Jeff Hwang, Pot-Limit Omaha Poker The Big-Play Strategy (Lyle Stuart, 2008)
Omaha is a wonderful game. It's second only to Cincinnati as my favorite poker variant (and no one plays Cincinnati anymore, not even in Europe), and I play Omaha and Omaha-split tournaments whenever I can. I've read a few books on the game over the years, but none of them has ever been comprehensive until now. Pot-Limit Omaha Poker The Big Play Strategy attempts to teach the reader how to minimize the variance (as much as possible, anyway, in a game where edges are often razor-thin at best when the money goes in), play tighter, and show a long-term profit. If you've played Omaha with an eye towards making money at it, but never actually done an in-depth study of the game, it's quite likely you're going to find the codification of a lot of concepts you've always suspected, but never really had the data to back up (e.g., just how much worse is A3xx than A2xx in Omaha-split, and is 2-3xx without an ace ever worth playing?). Hwang actually addresses why a one-gapped rundown is better in certain situations than a rundown. I never thought I'd see that. (To be fair, I'd only recently started wondering about that.) And really, it's hard to resist a book that tell you that the easiest money to be made in the poker world is at the limit Omaha-split table... and then goes on to back that up with thirty pages of how-to. If you're going to play Omaha, you need this book. ****
