Limit Omaha High from the SB?

[Dumb Snowman]

What sort of hands do you limp with from the SB in a regular Loose Passive lower limit game? I've been playing suited aces and any pocket pair as long as I get at least 3 limpers (Which I always do). Is that +EV? What else should I be playing from there?

Any 4 cards 8 or above which connect together in some way, any suited ace, any pair tens and above, you could probably throw in low wrap hands like 4567 as well. Suits in limit omaha are much less important than in pot limit, as if there's a flush draw out, someone likely has the nuts or close to it. I wouldn't play pocket pairs below TT unless you have something to go with them. 88A2 with a suited ace is playable, for instance, whilst 77JK is probably one which should hit the much usually.

All in all, with the big implied odds, position being less important, and lots of preflop limpers, you can play most (prob not far off ALL) hands from the SB for a limp for +EV. However, as a rule it's smart to stick to the ones that're easier to play.

Thanks Monk!

Other question, what hands would you fold in EP that you would call/raise with in LP? The only thing I can think of is something like AA rag rag. I'm having trouble with position in Omaha. I know in hold'em you'd want drawing hands only in LP, but in omaha, pretty much all hands are drawing hands! Any advice?
