Newb thread (thread for newcomer's questions) - includes links to popular wells

This is intended to be a thread where a newb (newcomer to Omaha-8) can come in and ask any question he/she wants, no matter how fundamental, about how to play the game of Omaha-8 without having to be intimidated about starting a new thread.

We invite those who might want to explore our game but lack the basic understanding to do so to ask any question, even if it seems "dumb" or "foolish" or "stupid" - without fear of ridicule.

We also invite any regular forum member to answer any question asked in this thread. But if you do so, please do so in a polite, friendly, warm, welcoming fashion.

If you want coaching or tutoring or if you want to advertise coaching or tutoring... or if you want to recommend a particular coach or tutor, please do so in the marketplace forum.

If you're interested in staking or getting staked, please do so in the marketplace forum.

Thanks.

This thread was Niss's idea - and a good one, in my opinion.

Can someone inform me why A8543 beats A8572?


Read from the biggest card to smallest. Biggest card loses. Thus 8752A is bigger than 8543A.

Hah, I've intuitively always read them bottom up. Thanks for your help.


Is there an online plo8 tournament scheduled anyone has created for the best PLO8 Tournaments on stars, party poker etc?


Coming back to play 08 after a bit. What is the best tracker and HUD to use? I recall years ago Holdem Manager having a problem calculating split pot results and PT4 was the only good option. I've downloaded HM and DriveHUD and both give different results for the hands I've played. I can't try PT4 as still have same computer and thus no second trial. I'm 99 percent I'll buy PT4 again but just wanted to know current opinion. I'm old, but the new designs of HM and DriveHUD are not my cup of tea, not nearly as nice UI or intuitive to use as PT4. Thanks
