Pot Limit Omaha Tips
Lately I have found some opportunity for increased profits playing Pot-Limit Omaha. It is an interesting game and lots of Hold em players make big mistakes (as I did for a while). To avoid those mistakes I studied Jeff Hwangs book Pot-Limit Omaha Poker. It is a good read with some very solid information that can make you a lot more money if you pay attention. Over the next few posts, I will post a few highlights from the book:
(They are abbreviated for my own reference and are not direct quotes from the book. Please forgive me Jeff!)
- Flopping the Nut Straight does not entitle you to the pot.
- Don’t play hands with a week structure.
- Proceed your straight with caution if there is a flush draw out.
- Sometimes it is correct to fold the nut straight on the flop.
- Only play hands with big play potential. (e.g. Possible nut straight with redraws)
- Bigger cards are a lot, lot better.
- The under-full is the most expensive hand. (Win small or lose big!)
- Avoid playing smaller pairs altogether to avoid bottom and middle set.
