Message: [QUOTE="starfall, post: 390067, member: 7551"] It depends on the pairs. If they're way apart, then that's not good, and ideally you want to be double-suited as well... AAKK double-suited is one of, if not THE, best hand(s) in Omaha, while 2277 rainbow is a pretty certain fold. Before the flop, look at it as a 4 card hand. If you get 2 fairly high pairs (say, Tens or above), and are single- or double-suited, then that will normally be a pretty playable hand. A pair of aces with any other pair is probably worth a look, especially if you've got suited cards. Lower pairs will have weaker flush possibilities, very limited straight potential, and will rarely make a nut full house - so you can't be that confident of your hand unless you somehow hit quads (which is very unlikely). As a result, don't immediately discard 2 pairs, but consider what flush potential they have, whether they're connecting or near-connecting, and so on. [/QUOTE]
