Summary: Good intro Omaha book
Comment: I've been playing Omaha for the better part of two years now and am constantly on the lookout for new books on the subject (of which there are very few right now relative to the volume of hold'em books). When I ran across the "Winner's Guide" I immediately picked it up.
The book is basically divided into two parts - a very basic, introductory part, and the rest of the book which is a little more in depth. The first half of the book will be very useful to poker players who are new to Omaha or wish to try Omaha the next time the hold'em list at the casino is 40 people deep. The first half covers the very basics of Omaha - how it is different from hold'em, how it is not different from hold'em, what is a good starting hand in Omaha, and of course how do you read an Omaha board - particularly the low (i.e., what is the nuts?).
The second half of the book will be somewhat useful for more serious Omaha players and goes into more depth about Omaha strategy - when to try and draw out a low, when to pre-flop raise, when not to raise on the low, etc. However, if you are a player who already understands the basics of Omaha play and are looking for something a little more advanced, go with the Zee book on hi/lo poker (Omaha and 7 stud).
So the upshot of this review: a good intro to Omaha, but not all that useful to the experienced player.

Summary: Basic, how-to-play book
Comment: While this book has some basic information, it's not very comprehensive and certainly isn't a "Winner's Guide." Most of the pages are filled up with examples and while they are useful, it could have been better filled with more strategy tips.
A very good section of the book is "Ways Omaha is Different From Hold Em" That section is a must read for Hold Em players wanting to make the switch to Omaha. However the other sections in the book (Odds and outs, reading hands) could have been pared down greatly and condensed. The remaining space could have been used for more decision making advice.
Most of the information in the book you can find free on the internet. The advice is good and sound, but there's not much of it for the number of pages in this book.
