Pot Limit Omaha for Beginners - Parts 1, 2 & 3

[teaulc]

i have had a couple of requests for advice etc on how to play Omaha, i managed to find a great 3 part article which will help you become proficient at this great game. All introductory aspects will be covered, beginning in part one with basic theory, key advice and common mistakes. Pot-Limit Omaha is the second-most-common form of poker in the world today. Before the 2003 poker boom, Omaha was much more prevalent in American cardrooms, and was the most popular cash game in many rooms around Europe. Texas Hold'em has become the poker standard across the world, leaving Omaha the most popular alternate game. Every major tournament tour brand (WPT,WSOP, LAPT ...) regularly spreads Omaha events, with buy-ins ranging from small to championship level. The rules of play for Omaha make the game into much more of a "drawing" or "action" game than a typical Hold'em game at the same limits. Because of the nature of the game, Omaha is rarely if ever played as a No-Limit game. Action/drawing games require more structure than Hold'em, making the game work best as a Limit- or Pot-Limit-only endeavor. In Hold'em, the first two betting rounds (pre-flop and flop) are the most important, while in Omaha pre-flop is far less important than the flop and turn. In fact, when comparing Hold'em to Omaha, it's common to refer to Hold'em as a "flop game," while Omaha is characterized as a "turn game" and a "nut game." this article acts as an in-depth resource. It contains all the necessary tips and statistics to allow players new to the game to acquire enough knowledge and confidence to play Omaha competently - that is to say, to make educated, lucid plays, rather than just play "by feel." Key Skills for Good Pot-Limit Omaha Play

• Strict hand selection (patience/discipline)
• Good table selection (very important in all poker games)
• Discipline (the ability to wait for a good hand and not chase with second-best hands)
• Ability to read your opponents
• Courage to bet/raise (to be aggressive with draws or perceived best hands)
• Lack of vulnerability to going on tilt

A Comparison: Pot-Limit Omaha vs. Texas Hold'em

1. More players will consistently see the flop in Omaha. The gap between premium and marginal starting hands in Hold'em is not reflected in Omaha. Because PLO is a drawing game, suited and connected cards are more powerful than in Hold'em, making the coveted pocket aces not nearly as much of a powerhouse.
2. With more players seeing flops, the average pre-flop pot size is typically much larger than in Hold'em. The bigger the pot going to the flop, the bigger the bets will be post-flop, making Omaha play much larger.
3. You need a stronger hand to win at Omaha. The majority of Hold'em pots are won by a two pair or weaker hand. These types of hands do not hold up as often in Omaha, meaning there is a paramount need for made hands with redraws.
4. Omaha is a more hand-driven game, affording you far fewer opportunities for bluffing. If there are three to a suit on board, you can almost always assume someone has the flush in Omaha, and a paired board yields a very high probability of someone holding a tight (full house), whereas that would only be a minor concern in most Hold'em hands.
5. With the multiple combinations of draws being played in every hand, value betting properly becomes far more crucial in Omaha. If you are not able to fully exploit the situations where you have the most equity, you're going to have a hard time beating the game consistently.
6. Position is just as important in both forms of poker, but for different reasons. In Hold'em the player with the best position will win the pot the most often, while in Omaha success is more hand-driven. However, the player with position in Omaha is best situated to properly modulate and control pot sizes.
7. Tight-passive players are less likely to be steamrolled in Omaha than in Hold'em. Reduced opportunity for bluffing reduces how effectively you can bully a passive player. It's not impossible; it's just far more difficult.

Pot-Limit If you're unfamiliar with Pot-Limit, there are a few key differences in how it plays compared to a No-Limit game. Before we explain the differences, you need to know how Pot-Limit actually works. The maximum bet you can make in Pot-Limit is the size of the total pot, including your call. Confused? Let's break it down: First to act: Pot: $1,000 Max. bet: $1,000 Second to act: Pot: $2,000 ($1,000 pre-flop + $1,000 pot bet from first to act) Max. bet: $4,000 ( $1,000 pre-flop + $1,000 bet from first to act + $1,000 your call of the first bet. This makes the total pot $3,000, that being the amount of the pot-sized raise. The $3,000 raise plus your $1,000 call makes a total bet of $4,000.) It's sometimes hard to do the math in your head. If the pot is $424 and someone bets $68, how much can you bet? Don't waste time by attempting to calculate the answer beforehand - just announce "Pot," then figure it out, put in your call first, and then add up the total pot with all bets, adding that to your bet. (In case you're wondering, the answer here is $628.) Remember, if you don't announce "Pot" first, you'll be called on a string bet if you put the $68 in first, then try to add a raise amount. Always vocalize your intended action. If you don't want to figure it out yourself, asking the dealer what pot (or your maximum bet) is is also an easy way to go. Size of the Bets Now that you understand how betting works, let's look at the differences. First off, you will find that people will bet larger in Pot-Limit than they would if the game was No-Limit. In a pot of $1,000 on the flop, a pretty standard Hold'em bet would be $800. In Pot-Limit, a player with the same hand will commonly bet the pot of $1,000. The reason for this is the strength of the bet. Contrary to what may seem obvious, moving all-in is a less threatening bet than betting three-quarters of your stack. When you're playing Pot-Limit, betting the pot doesn't have the same counterintuitive stigma, making a pot bet a very strong-looking one. In Pot-Limit, check-raising is a more commonly used play. The reason is simple: In a pot of $1,000, if you're first to act and would like to get it all-in for your $2,000 stack, you are unable to do so with the $1,000 betting limit. Check-raising a player who bets $500 allows you to move all-in. The final main difference between the betting structures is the inability to protect strong holdings in the early stages of a hand. In an unopened pot with $1/$2 blinds, your pot raise is $7 ($1 + $2 + $2 = $5, making your total bet $2 + $5), whereas that would be around half the "standard raise" in a live No-Limit game of the same stakes. Key Advice for Pot-Limit Omaha

1. Be very selective with your starting hands. It's easy to get overzealous looking down at four cards, seeing all of the possible combinations of draws.
2. "Play the players." Be sure to quickly assess the opposition: who plays inferior hands, who folds at aggression, who bets with draws, who calls big bets with weak hands and draws, who can be bluffed, who bluffs, etc. This is good poker advice for any variation, really.
3. Respect displays of strength. Average to good players making large bets in Omaha are far less likely to be bluffing than the same caliber of players in a Hold'em game.
4. Do not get "married" to an eight-out straight draw: in Omaha, it is possible to flop 13-out, 17-out and 20-out straight draws. It is best to wait until you hold one of these draws before you heavily involve yourself in the pot.
5. Do not overplay unsuited aces: when all you hold are a pair of aces and two unsuited, unconnected rags, there is little you can flop to improve your hand. If you do not flop your set, you're not going to hold up often in a multi-way pot.
6. Omaha is a nut game; it's almost never a good idea to be playing any draw that's not to the nut in this game.

Common Mistakes in Pot-Limit Omaha

1. Overplaying "Hold'em strength" hands.
2. Calling with weak holdings and low-outs draws when facing a bet.
3. Playing too many starting hands.
4. Not raising pre-flop with premium hands.
5. Giving free cards or under-betting the pot without the nuts.

General Pre-Flop Advice The most important skill to master when playing Pot-Limit Omaha is knowing which starting hands are profitable to play. Poker is a situational game, meaning that what you play, and how you play it, will change depending on the situation at your table:

1. Is the table tight or loose?
2. How many players are sitting at the table?
3. How many players are in the pot when it is your turn to act?
4. Has the pot been raised? If so, from what player and position?
5. What is your current position?

1. The table. The tighter the table, the looser your starting hand requirements can become, and vice versa. 2. The number of players. Generally, you must play tighter at a full table and looser at a short-handed table. 3/4. Who has raised the pot? If many players are in the pot ahead of you, you're only going to want to enter the hand with multiple card combinations that have nut draw potential. 5. Your position. This will greatly affect the hands you play. In general, you have to play tighter from an early position and then add hands as your position improves by Sean Lind

Pot Limit Omaha for Beginners - Part 2 of 3 This is part two of a detailed three-part guide to getting started in Pot-Limit Omaha. Part two covers starting hands, hand rankings and some pre-flop thoughts. What you are looking for is four cards that work together, although many beginners (who are used to playing Texas Holdem) do not realize this. They will play any four cards that contain one or two good Hold'em hands. For example, they often overrate hands like: J♠ J♦ 2♥ 7♣ or A♣ Q♦ 8♥ 8♠ Although both of these hands contain card combinations of top 10 Hold'em hands, they are not altogether powerful Omaha starting hands. What you have to always keep in mind is that Omaha is a nut game. These hands have very few opportunities to make the nuts outside of flopping a full house. The strongest Omaha starting hand is ace-king double-suited: A♠ K♠ A♥ K♥. In this hand, you hold AA and KK as starting made hands, two nut flush opportunities and A-K for the potential broadway straight. Double-suited hands with high-valued connectors and pairs are always the best Omaha starting hands. Some examples of quality Omaha starting hands: A♠ A♥ J♥ T♠ (the second-strongest Omaha starting hand) K♠ Q♣ J♠ T♣ Q♥ Q♠ J♥ T♠ A♦ A♠ 7♠ 6♦ You want starting hands that hold straight, flush and set potential. For instance, imagine the power of holding A♠ A♣ T♠ J♣ on a flop of A♥ K♠ Q♠, giving you top set, the nut straight and the nut flush draw. Notice that the J♠ will also give you a royal flush. This gives you the current nuts, with two redraws to higher nuts. This is one of the situations where the chances of you losing this pot are almost zero. You should be pumping this pot with everything you have. Another example is if you hold Q♠ Q♥ K♠ T♥ on a flop of Q♣ J♠ 7♠, giving you top set, a flush draw and an open-ended straight draw. Hand Ranking Below are the top 30 starting hands in Pot-Limit Omaha. (all hands in the top 30 list must be double-suited) 1. A-A-K-K 2. A-A-J-T 3. A-A-Q-Q 4. A-A-J-J 5. A-A-T-T 6. A-A-9-9 7. A-A-x-x 8. J-T-9-8 9. K-K-Q-Q 10. K-K-J-J 11. K-Q-J-T 12. K-K-T-T 13. K-K-A-Q 14. K-K-A-J 15. K-K-A-T 16. K-K-Q-J 17. K-K-Q-T 18. K-K-J-T 19. Q-Q-J-J 20. Q-Q-T-T 21. Q-Q-A-K 22. Q-Q-A-J 23. Q-Q-A-T 24. Q-Q-K-J 25. Q-Q-K-T 26. Q-Q-J-T 27. Q-Q-J-9 28. Q-Q-9-9 29. J-J-T-T 30. J-J-T-9 Whether double-suited, suited or non-suited, these are all very strong starting hands. The Trap Hands A trap hand is a hand that can hit the board just hard enough to make you second-best. When you're second-best with a pseudo-monster, it can be hard not to lose your whole stack. Omaha has three types of trap hands:

• Small Pair Hands
• Low Wrap Hands
• Small Flush Hands

Small Pairs: One of first concepts to learn in poker is to make every action for a reason. It's amazing how often you'll see amateurs pay for a draw, only to fold when it hits. Once you learn this lesson you can start to see why it's such a mistake to play a hand such as: 6♥ 6♣ 4♦ 3♣ If you're playing this hand, one of your hopeful draws is to hit a set (or full house). Imaginary flop: Q♦ J♣ 6♦ On a flop like this, you're setting yourself up to lose your stack. The odds of running into a set-over-set scenario in Hold`Em are poor enough to make playing the 6♥ 6♣ profitable here. In Omaha, you're going to run into a higher set far too often. There is almost no flop you can hit where flopping your third six would be good for you. Low Wrap Hands: If you have any experience playing Hold'em, you'll be aware of the danger in playing the sucker-end of a straight. By playing low wrap hands such as 5♠ 4♣ 3♠ 2♣ you're setting yourself up to be in this exact position. Other than hitting the wheel, the only straight you will hit with this type of hand is the sucker end. If the flop comes with a 6-7-8, it's very likely someone else is on a 9-10. There is nothing worse than hitting your hand to be drawing dead. Small Flushes: As previously stated, Omaha is a nut game. If you have a baby flush, you're going to lose your stack more often than not. Unless you have the ability to get reads, and fold a strong hand when it's beat, you should only be playing ace-high flushes in Omaha. Limping or Raising Before the Flop As previously stated, the best Omaha starting hand is AA-KK double-suited. The odds of being dealt this hand are a staggering 50,000-1 against. Even with it being such a prestigious holding, the hand is just a 3-2 favorite to win against 8765 double-suited. With all the draw and redraw possibilities, the gaps between starting hands in terms if their strength are far less than those in Hold'em. That being the case, the question arises of whether or not you should raise pre-flop with a top starting hand. The reasons to raise or not to raise in Omaha are identical to those in Hold'em. You raise for isolation, information and increased pot size with the most equity. As all serious gamblers know, you want to get your money in when you have an edge, regardless of how strong the edge is. Being a 3-2 favorite makes this a favorable situation to increase the pot size. As in Hold'em, if you only raise the very best hands, your play will become predictable. Mixing it up in Omaha is just as crucial. Which Hands to Raise With For beginners, a good pre-flop raising strategy is to raise only with any of the top 30 hands mentioned above, all of which have at least two to a suit. Once you want to start opening up your game a bit, you can mix in any four cards in a row that are double-suited with cards, six or higher, and all single- and double-suited A-K-x-x with at least one x-card, ten or higher. Hands like Q-J-9-8 or J-T-9-7 double-suited are also good to raise with. This is similar to raising suited connectors or medium pocket pairsin Hold'em. You're doing so to mix it up more so than for value. Summary: 1. All top 30 hands with at least one suit and most of the time when offsuit. 2. All suited A-K-x-x with at least one x-card, 10 or higher. 3. All double-suited four in a row of hands, five or higher. 4. All double-suited connected hands, five or higher, with a maximum of one gap between the top two and the two low cards or between the low card and the three high cards. An example is K-Q-T-9 double-suited and J-9-8-6 double-suited. 5. All K-K-x-x double-suited. Which Hands to Limp With 1. All A-Q-x-x with at least one x-card, ten or higher, and the ace suited. 2. All four-in-a-row combinations, four or higher. 3. All A-x-x-x anything with at least two x-cards that are connected and the ace suited. 4. All four-in-a-row combinations, five or higher, with a maximum of one gap that is not between the top and bottom three cards in the hand. As with any poker advice, these are just guidelines to give you a place to start from. The hands you raise and limp with will change depending on your table, your image, your skill and the skill of your opponents. Part Three The third part of this detailed guide finishes up with a look at post-flop play, and a few of the other aspects of the PLO end game by Sean Lind.

Pot Limit Omaha for Beginners Part 3 of 3 Part three of a detailed three-part guide to getting started in Pot-Limit Omaha. Part three covers post-flop play, odds, and how to play specific hands and draws. Flop Play Whether or not you were the pre-flop raiser makes a big difference in the way you play your hand. If you're the raiser and you miss the flop, should you bet out? Being the pre-flop raiser allows your opponents to give you respect for having a strong hand. If they don't hit the flop, it will make it hard for them to call any bet you put out on the flop. In Hold`Em, this happens much more often than it will in Omaha. Because your opponents have the potential to hold two different flush possibilities, along with a wrap straight draw, it's much more likely that they will have hit enough of a hand on the flop to be willing to call you down. This doesn't render c-betting obsolete; it just forces you to be more selective and diligent. For example: It's three-handed heading to the flop. You raised a pair of naked aces.

Your Hand	The Flop
A♦ A♥ 2♣ 8♠	Q♠ J♠ T♥

Having a pair of aces here in Hold'em isn't the nuts, but it's not an altogether weak holding either. In Omaha, though, you have to be very afraid of your hand. This is a good time to check the flop and let the other two players fight for it. As stated before, Omaha is a nut game - aside from a 1% running house draw, you have no chance of making the nuts. This is not a hand to get invested in. But if the flop falls differently:

Your Hand	The Flop
A♦ A♥ 2♣ 8♠	Q♠ 7♥ 3♦

This flop isn't the best for your hand, but at the same time it's not altogether bad. This is a flop worth betting at. While you don't have the nuts, you do have a strong enough hand not to have to sign off just yet. Just don't get too married to the hand; there's no shame in laying down after you raise. Two Pair Flopping two pair is a situation that gives many players a difficult time. Two pair in Hold'em is a very strong holding, while in Omaha it is very vulnerable. Again, pots in Omaha are most commonly won by straights and flushes, unlike in Hold'em where they're more often taken down by pairs and two pairs. Flopping top two pair against a double-wrapped straight draw is only 35% to win the pot. The potential to have upward of 20 outs in Omaha allows for drawing hands to be statistically ahead of made hands. If anyone is willing to call you after betting out with two pair, they either have you beat, or have a strong draw to end up ahead. In a nut game, you have to be willing to ditch the marginal holdings, no matter how good they look on the flop. One of the worst scenarios is playing bottom two pair. With sets being far more common in Omaha, turning a full house with bottom two is guaranteed to cost you your stack up against a flopped middle or top set. Sets If you follow the playing style recommended in this article and avoid playing small pairs, you should not find yourself in many situations where you are up against a bigger set. If you were the pre-flop raiser, almost always bet out on the flop if you hit a set. It is seldom wrong to bet out with top set in a short-handed pot, even though the board looks scary. Remember that anytime you flop a set, you have about a 34% chance of improving to a full house on the turn and river combined. For example: You're the pre-flop raiser.

Your Hand	The Flop
K♦ K♥ 7♦ 6♥	K♠ J♠ 9♥

On this board, you have top set, but are behind a made straight. With the flush draw out there, you are almost guaranteed action. The worst-case scenario has you up against a player holding the queen and ten of spades. Not only do they have the made straight and the flush draw, but they have a blocker on the 9♠. Hitting the 9♠ to make your full house will give them a straight flush. Even in this worst-case scenario, you're just over 33% to win the pot. Against a made straight you're slightly better, and against a naked flush you're close to 75% to win. Let's put you into a multiway pot against two monster hands: The Flop: K♠ J♠ 9♥

Player	Hand	% to Win
You	K♦ K♥ 7♦ 6♥	39.79%
Villain #1	Q♦ T♦ 5♥ 6♥	30.18%
Villain #2	A♠ 2♠ 2♣ A♣	30.03%

Even though you're up against a made straight, a nut flush draw, and an overpair, you are still almost 40% to win the pot and have the most equity multiway. When you have the most equity, you want to pump up the pots. In this scenario, it would be rare for either player to fold on this flop, allowing you to get large money from both players into the pot. Because the other players will be accounting for 66% of the money going into the pot, your 40% to win gives you pot odds to be betting out against a made hand. The size of the pot also gives you implied odds for a strong value bet. If the turn brings the flush while pairing the board, chances are Villain #1 will fold out of the hand, while Villain #2 will be willing to call value-sized bets with only two outs to take the pot. One thing to keep in mind in Omaha is that many players will only ever raise pre-flop if they're holding a pair of aces. These players can be easy to spot, and as such can be easy opponents to fold to once an ace falls on the flop. If you truly believe a player only raises AA, you have to use this read to lay down bottom or middle set on an ace-high flop against them. There's no use getting a read if you're not going to act on it. Straight Draws In Omaha you will flop many kinds of straight draws. What you want to flop are so-called wraparound straight draws. This happens when the flop comes with two cards that connect and you have cards that surround these two cards. Let us look at a few examples:

1. Hand: Q-J-8-x	Flop: T-9-x	Outs: 17 (wraparound)
2. Hand: J-8-7-x	Flop: T-9-x	Outs: 17 (wraparound)
3. Hand: K-Q-J-x	Flop: T-9-x	Outs: 13
4. Hand: 8-7-6-x	Flop: T-9-x	Outs: 13
5. Hand Q-J-8-7	Flop: T-9-x	Outs: 20 (double wraparound)

It is better to have more overcards than undercards, as it's always best to be drawing to the nut straight rather than the sucker end. For this reason, Hand 1 is stronger than Hand 2 and Hand 3 is stronger than Hand 4. In a situation where Hand 1 and Hand 2 get it all-in on the flop, Hand 2's strength will diminish considerably, leaving it in very bad shape. You should bet the majority of your big draws on the flop (known as "betting on the come"). You do this for three reasons: 1. You can take down the pot immediately (semi-bluff). 2. It adds deception to your game, because you're not only betting made hands. 3. With 20 outs in a hand, you are statistically a favorite to win the pot. When you have the most equity, it's always a good time to put money into the pot. If you flop a 13-out straight draw (you have three on top, or three below the connected board cards) where all your outs are live (meaning no flush, full-house, or higher straight is possible), you have a 50% chance of making your straight with two cards to come. Once you have an idea of how powerful large-out drawing hands can be in Omaha, it will greatly affect how you play with, and against, such situations. The Turn As stated earlier, the turn is one of the most important streets in Omaha, more important than pre-flop, and in some ways more important than the flop. The flop brings made hands, draws and possibilities for redraws. The turn does the following:

• Solidifies made hands. Example: Pairs the board making top set into the big full.
• Breaks made hands. Example: Brings the third card of a suit against a flopped straight.
• Kills any option for flopped backdoor draws.
• Creates new draws.

It is at this point, with only one card to come, that you can be more decisive about whether or not you will be continuing on in the hand. Especially in Pot-Limit, the pot is significantly larger on the turn than on the flop, giving the aggressor the opportunity to make much larger bets. With only one draw with one card to go, it becomes much more difficult to make a second pot call three times larger than that on the flop. The fact that you can hold draws with massive amounts of outs in Omaha allows you to make large calls on the turn. For example, if you hold a minimum of 13 outs to beat whatever your opponent might be holding, it is appropriate to call a pot-sized bet on the turn, though only if both you and your opponent have money left on the river. With 13 outs, you are slightly less than 2-1 (13/44=29.5%) against improving, and those are the exact odds the pot is laying you in this case. Because of the implied odds when there is more money left to win, a call is correct. The River As in Hold'em, the river is all about value betting properly with the winning hand and conserving losses with the losing hand. If you hold the nuts, contemplate what your opponent might possibly hold and try to squeeze out the maximum. If you missed your draw, you must either give up or try a big bluff in case a scare card hits. A lot of judgment is needed when the pot is big and you hold a good hand but not the nuts. You must consider what your opponent is capable of. Will he try to run a bluff if checked to? Or will he also check? Do you dare to value bet with a good hand that is not the nuts? Bluffing Bluffing plays an important role in all forms of poker. In Omaha, bluffing is invoked less frequently than in Hold'em, but it remains an important skill to master. It is best to bluff when you hold one or more of the key cards in the hand, for example, when you hold the bare ace and there is a possible flush on the board. When deciding whether or not to bluff, always consider the following factors:

1. Type of opponent. Do not bluff weak opponents who call with anything (referred to as "calling stations"). This is the most common mistake. Be sure that your opponent is a good enough player to fold a hand.
2. Number of opponents. In general, do not bluff a field of three or more players. A bluff is much more likely to succeed against one opponent, not only because it is just one player but also because the pot is usually smaller, which makes it less desirable.
3. Your table image. A bluff is less likely to succeed if you have a loose table image as opposed to a tight one. If you were recently caught bluffing, your opponents will be more likely to call you in the future, although reverse psychology can occasionally prove beneficial in such situations. For example, if a good player caught you bluffing and he regards you as a good player, he might think you would not dare to bluff him again.
4. Your "reading" skills. If you "read" the game well and are able to put your opponents on likely holdings, you will be able to identify good bluffing opportunities. This is probably the hardest and most important skill to master.
5. The board. If the board looks like it could have hit your opponents or presents many drawing possibilities, a bluff is less likely to succeed. Look for boards without many draws or cards that are likely to improve your opponents' hands. If you can represent a hand, the bluff is more likely to succeed. An uncoordinated board with one scare card that you can represent is usually a good bluffing opportunity.
6. The size of the pot. Your opponents will be more prone to call if the pot is big because they get better pot odds. On the other hand, if you make a successful bluff in a big pot the reward will also be bigger. This is when good judgment comes into play.
7. Position. If you are sitting in late position, you will usually have more access to information regarding your opponents' hands and will thus be in a better situation to bluff. For example, if it is checked to you, the board looks favorable and there are few players in the pot.

Outs for Specific Draws

Double wraparound straight draw	20 outs
Wraparound straight draw	17 outs
Straight flush draw	15 outs
Flush draw and over-pair	11 outs
Flush draw	9 outs
Open-ended straight draw	8 outs
Three pair hitting a house	6 outs
Two pair hitting a house	4 outs

Conclusion This guide serves as a booster pack. It's enough information for you to have the knowledge and ability to start playing strong Omaha, and more importantly giving you the ability to learn the specifics and subtleties of the game. As with any form of poker, there is no better way to learn than through experience. If you want to be solid in the game, it's up to you to get out there and start playing. by Sean Lind
