In Omaha, how a player starts is a pretty good indicator of whether or not they will be pulling the pot towards their stack of chips at the end of the game. To start strong, a player should only play the best hole cards before the flop. What are good starting cards in Omaha Hi/Lo though? The best starting hands in Omaha high-low are A-A-2-3 double-suited followed by A-A-2-4 double-suited. This kind of hand is very strong because it can be played for both high and low, which gives it great scoop potential. Of course, being suited or (even better) double-suited adds value to every hand. Outside of the previously mentioned hands, other good starting hands have been listed below. If a player finds any of these cards in their hand after the initial deal, they can feel pretty good about their chances going forward and seeing the flop
