Omaha Hi

It seems like Omaha Hi is coming bigger and bigger each day in the poker world. I am thinking about starting to learn the game, but don't know where to start. I'd probably only be playing the $10 6Max game on Stars. Are there any good articles or books that you would suggest?

i dont know any books or articles about omaha hi.. but my suggestion is to not play at higher tables when you start playing these game... there are lots of good combinations that will make you lose lot of momey... of course, if you are lucky you could win lot of money but in the most hand there are lots of people calling in all the stations... learn well the game and start play at low limits..
good luck at the tables.

Im learning Omaha Hi as well. There are a lot of decent Omaha strategies written online that I'll PM to you when I get home. They're saved in my bookmarks.

As for starting off, Im playing the .01/.02 PLO FR on Stars and am playing a very tight, ABC approach to the game. I play maybe top 5-20 hands depending on position, just value bet the nuts/call or shove with nut draw basically. Its been going well so far.

Ha Shrog,

I just posted the same exact thing in another section.

Philty, if you can PM me those as well I'd really appreciate it.

if you want to improve your game and have the money, get a subscription to cardrunners or deuces cracked or something and watch some plo videos. that should help a ton

philty maybe u could post them as id like them as well and i think alot of other people would 2 if thats possible

Poker Forums - FAQ (http://www.cardschat.com/faq.php)

The first rule prohibits anyone from posting any useful advice that doesn't come from cards chat.... Hence the PM'ing.

It'd be nice if we could post useful advice/videos that were posted at other places, but helping its members apparently isn't cardschat's #1 priority...

What i know about omaha is that pairs isn't as strong as it is in holdem. Since each player has 4 cards its so much eaiser to get striaghts sets and flushs, so u can't really go crazy with big pairs like aces.

let me give you some advice early that you might see people do.

You may see people raising every hand non stop and it will work for some people. It works for people with big stacks that have already shown down winning hands, when you've virtually tripled up from the max you can bring to the table you've earned that right.

It doesn't work for people that haven't shown down goods and don't have a big stack yet. Theres a difference and its kinda hard to explain, but stay away from getting raise happy and super aggy post flop with nothing until you get your stack up and have some respect at the table.

I've watched some of the best players on the level I play on the Microgaming network that consistently have there stacks up multiple hundreds and I'll see them playing super aggy wondering how they play when they first sit down, and pretty much all of them play TAG until they've about tripled their buy in and than they turn LAG

outside of as a beginner take the abc approach like philthy said

Omaha Hi

I do not know good books and articles on Omaha Hi.

But every day that passes appear but games of Omaha hi yes.

It is a very attractive game where we can make several combinations
with 4 cards of our hand. Particularly I am playing each
increasingly Omaha Hi and Omaha Hi / low too

This is not entirely true Chino....There are plenty of LINKS on cardschat to different articles and vids....What CC won't allow is someone to copy and paste an entire article that someone else from another site has written....as CC doesn't allow articles from THIS site to be posted on other sites.

As far as CC's priorities not being for the poker player?? Eh, I could argue this for 15 minutes, but, it's just not worth it.

Now as far as the OPs question.....Pokerstars offers a 10 cent 240 man sit and go for omaha hi, you can play around and learn a little bit playing that.

Good luck on the tables....

Super System2 has an omaha hi and omaha hi/lo section in it.

I'm not much of a omaha hi fan, but if I were u and just starting out, I would play even lower limits than that , the internet will tell u as much info on it as books, and pokerstars and poker4ever sites both have daily FR's in omaha hi, good luck to u.

This is a good start for a good foundation to understanding the game, but outside of that its not going to really teach you any real direct strategy of how you should play the game post flop with out the nuts. Definitely a good read, but it will leave you hanging on a lot of situations you may get put in, especially considering that this section is based on a player speaking on how the game should be played at the highest limits. The one thing I recall the section lacking is position play in omaha which is just about as important as your starting cards in that game.

Great start for a foundation, especially mathwise, but your not going to just become a great player after reading this, its probably gonna be the experience that does this. The book also doesn't really expand on preflop reraising with hands other than AAxx, it just basically says you shouldnt raise aces if you don't raise alot of other stuff to camoflauge it. Which you can note if you see people at your table rarely raising pot max you can always peg them for aces most of the time in low games

i think rofl slotbottom wrote a good book called Profesional Pot limit Omaha or something to that extent, cant remember the exact title.

Every one please let us know how you get on
