Omaha hi Tips
As the case is with Texas Holdem, the key to implementing an
Omaha poker strategy is knowing when to stay in the game,
and knowing when to get out in order to minimize losses.
If you can recognize early on the chances of winning with
your initial hand, you will know what is worth staying in
for.
Remember that nothing is black or white in poker.
Therefore, always playing tight (folding early on) is not
going to pay off 100% of the time. Likewise, playing
aggressively for indefinite lengths of time or at random
intervals is not going to create a spotless winning record
either. It is advisable to base your card folds on the
following tips - But it is also advisable to use your
experience and discernment. Who knows? You may see a
sure bluff from your opponent and hold onto that low pair
after all. Otherwise stick to these guideline when
playing a hand:
Always hold onto
the these hands, which can play for both the Hi and Lo pots:
-
Two pairs of
10's, Jacks, Queens, Kings and Aces
-
Any combination
of four cards, each no greater in value than five
-
An Ace with any
three face cards of different suits, Ace with any single
card of matching suit, Ace with any low cards of different
suits, or an Ace with a two, especially three two's.
-
A pair of aces
with one ace having the same suit as a third card of any
value or a pair of aces matched with all low cards 2 thru 8
-
Three aces with
all low card(s)
Always fold
these hands (It may seem outrageous, but remember you are
playing to win both the Hi and Lo pots, for one pot by
itself is not a good money maker in the long run):
