Anyone really good at omaha please tell me what happened here???????

You could not have a str8 a2345. You need to use two of your cards not just one. I suggest studying up on a game before trying it out to avoid this in the future. Good luck

thread of the year

obviously a glitch in the software, i recommend e-mailing full tilt and threatening to kill yourself, that should get the problem sorted pretty quickly.

....oh all right you use two cards from your hand and three from the board. you can't use just one card from your hand hence it was impossible for you to have a 5-high straight.

Lol ty u very much u guys had helped alot.. and yes ima a beginner in omaha and didnt know the rules ty for telling me this

Welcome to cardschat - here you can learn alot so it's the right place to be.

And as a tip:

-Play real money games only if you have a spark of knowledge how they work.

Using 2 of 4 hole cards is basic knowledge

lmao @ both of you

Be sure to play the .01/.02 tables AFTER reading the how to play. I also recommend checking out the Full Tilt Academy-they have basics as well as strategy. You'll see that was a fold hand BTW...

hopefully there wasn't too much money at stake when u were playing this lol. hard way to learn

When learning a new game, play with play money for at least 20 hours. If you can find a play money tourney in the new game, play that, too. Do not play for real money unless you can either win a play money tourney or amass a large number of play chips.

It takes awhile to read Omaha hands correctly. And even people who have played it a fair amount sometimes read their hands wrong. I played a Omaha H/L tourney in a casino once and every showdown was a matter of never mucking -- everyone still in the hand laid out their cards and the dealer and everyone sorted through to decide the winner(s). It eventually gets easier. But do not play for real money until you get at least the basics.

There are also Omaha sessions in the full tilt poker Academy -- and well worth watching, once you have the basics concepts down.

Ok guys. Don't laught at him. I made the same mistake when I first played omaha. Except I though I had a full house. Luckily it was a HORSE freeroll on FT.

Someone should point out that the OP only needs one of the 50 other forums for good advice... CardsChat.

Or you could try taking a look at the FTP Academy. Scott Clements, Robert Williamson III and Brandon Adams all have their lessons in Omaha and should at least give you the basics you need!!

If it helps to make it any clearer.... Inversely, you must use exactly 3 cards on the board. So you cannot use A 2 3 and 4.

I am definitely not laughing at him. I don't play omaha often, only when it is part of the 8 game and at least once a game I shove what I think is the best hand and don't get what I did wrong till I see the chips go the other way.

i h8 omaha know never play it look at my stats for omaha im crap lol

I remember the very first time I played Omaha, and didn't know the rules, I didn't understand why I lost with an 8 cards str8 (5 6 7 8 9 10 J Q) LMAO !
