I noticed in another thread that 30ish% hands played is probably on par with a winning omaha player, which explains yesterday quite a bit. But I have another pre-flop question in mind that is sort of close to home for this.

I did a quick google search and didn't come up with anything(not to say it's not out there, I may be searching with the wrong keywords in mind). But does anyone know of a general guideline of pre-flop hand groupings for omaha?

I have a really vague list i compiled today, and was looking for some input-- please be kind.

group 1

AA+faces/tens
KK+faces/tens
QQ+faces/tens

group 2

JJ+faces/tens
TT+faces
sequentials starting with 8 and up
AA-QQxx(dangler's above 7ish)

group 3
sequentials below 8
"double run" sequentials-- eg 6778
gapped connectors - high card queen & above -eg: 8-TJQ

group 4
gapped connectors - high card jack & below -eg: 5-789
double gappers - eg 5-7-9T

group 5
scattered high cards - eg: AT8K

group 6
most others, trash hands and muckable pre-flop in most cases


I've played way too much heads up with a friend here lately which has taught me some bad fundamentals for ring games... Trying to do some damage control to keep from killing myself like i did yesterday.

The groupings are in seriously early stage, and just something i'm trying to finalize to make myself play a little tighter, and get rid of some leaks i found.
I'm not trying to formulate a "what to do in every circumstance" guide, but just some ideas of where and when to my hands pre-flop stand better chances. Any input would be appreciated
