I would go for 6,
.
Assuming you got the ideal flops you have the possibility to hit A high flush Diamonds and K high flush Hearts.
You have nut straight and wheel straight possibilities.
A2 is always beneficial in hi/lo always gives you an option to donk of chips chasing the low.
I would also say i would play all of these hands dependant on position/action.

i don't really play PLO8 except for a bit of fun/a change, so I fully expect to get this wrong, but...
i'd have thought 7 would be marginallly better than 6, as it gives you the same flush opportunities but might give someone else the chance to make the Q-high heart flush against your K-high flush.
I'd go for 7 at a short-handed table, where I'd guess the 3 high cards are more valuable. I'm guessing a low hand is less valuable the fewer players there are at the table.
I'd go for 2 with more players, as you have the same flush possibilities but also have the 3 to strengthen your low possibilities, which would be more valuable in a multi-way pot.
"vg" or "see me"?

It is very much dependent on the amount of players. A-2 hands aren't too hot short-handed.
I think A-A-2-3 is generally considered to be the strongest though.

Okay, for a start, you can scratch off the A-K suited hands as you need someone else to have second nut flush if you're gonna get paid off.

not a big O8 player but I'd have to say hand 2 looks by far the nicest to me. King high flush, Ace high flush. and 3 to the wheel.
I agree with snoops, the AK sooted one won't get you paid.

Yeh
the best in my opinion.
Strong high and low possibilities.
A234 stronger lower but nowhere near as strong for high potential. AKQ2 ds has better high potential but you lose a lot by missing out on flopping wheel wraps and draws.
Agree 7 is stronger hand than 6 too.

id take the
, because i have 2x flush draws that could be good, if i have
no one will pay me on a diamond flop, id obviously have to hit some kind of dream flop, maybe
or something simlar to that, but with a2 and no backup for the low id be playing more for the flush/strait draws rather than the low, and play it a little passive and hope not to lose a big pot getting quatterd
