Re: Omaha 8 Call or Fold In a real Omaha 8 game, people tend to fold some hands that might have made straight flushes, quads, full houses, flushes and straights. In real games, the most winning type of high hand turns out to be two pairs. Two pairs is actually the most winning type high hand in full games where half or most players fold before the flop. Two pairs is even more likely to be a winning hand as the number of players who are dealt starting hands decreases and as the game becomes tighter.We don’t generally start out looking to make two pairs, but we often end up winning with two pairs or losing to two pairs.
