I need to learn how to play omaha quick. The 15-30 has dried up so we are now playing 10-20 mix 1 round of omaha 1 round of hold'em. The good news is the fish are back and loving it. The omaha game is incredibly loose and in turn seems to carry over to the hold'em rounds.(It's actually amazing how this has turned what was fast becoming a dry game)

The problem is i don't know how to play omaha very well (we play for high only) there isn't much info out there except for omaha hi lo or omaha 8 or better so i'm really at a loss for starting hands.

Average players pre-flop is 7-10 few raises however if a certain villain is playing, then every hand will be raised once pre-flop until he's no longer "in the mood". The play post flop is again very loose and fairly passive.

So in a very loose omaha game what hands should i be looking to play?

Can i get away with playing very very tightly pre-flop? Or does the nature of the game force you to play a fair number of hands?

If I recall correctly the difference between the best and worst omaha hi hands preflop is about 10%.  Not nearly the difference from hold'em hardly worth bumping it preflop. 

If you don't have the nuts or a draw to the nuts you probably shouldn't continue after the flop.  In a loose omaha game, fear the worst.  If the board pairs, someone likely has a boat.  If the board 3 suits someone will have the flush.  You'll win money here by having Top boat and nut flush.  Big hands show up at an omaha table.

I'm assuming you mean the difference between the best and worst omaha hi hands worth playing is about 10%. Not all hands

What about hands like As Qds Jh 3d Does the third of a suit severely negate the hands potential?

Does having a third of a suit often change a call to a fold to what would otherwise been a single suited hand? As Qs Jh 3d -  As Qs Jh 3d ( i picked that hand because i thought it was in the range of worst starting hands worth playing.

Also what about unsuited raps (high to mid) are they worth playing?

I know 3 of a kinds make for bad endings
