Pocket aces are a big hand when you’re playing Texas hold’em, but when you’re playing Omaha hi/low they don’t necessarily have the same value. You’re in ok shape for the high hand, but unless you have some small cards with them, preferably suited to the aces, the aces are not worth a whole lot pre-flop. Not enough to risk as many chips as you would in a game of hold’em.

If your aces don’t have good cards with them you probably shouldn’t play them. It will usually lead to a losing situation because there are so many hand combinations that can be made in the game of Omaha. Your aces should have at least one deuce with them if you want to try your luck. And don’t waste any bets when you see situations where you could be easily beat. In Omaha hi/low someone almost always has the nut hand.
