Ok. Look at this hand here. If I peeped down at this hand in Pot Limit Omaha, I would have trouble not giving away a tell. Because, it's just an excellent starting hand. It's double paired, double suited. And, the cards work together. You could make a straight or straight flush or a royal straight with these cards. It's king, king, queen, queen and we have we're suited in spades and clubs. This is a great double paired hand. It's double paired, double suited and connected. That's awesome. Here's the thing, often you see people playing Pot Limit Omaha thinking that if they are double paired they are in good stead. Is that really true, though? Look at this hand. We've got jacks and fours. We do have a jack of diamonds and a four of diamonds. But, so what. You're not going to make a dominate hand ninety-nine percent of the time with that. If you flop a set of fours in Omaha, let me tell you a set of fours is almost never good. You might flop a set of jacks and then you'll be in good stead. But, you won't have anywhere to draw. So, if you get kings and queens suited connected great. If you get jacks and fours, I don't care if you're double suited fold that hand.
