It is position dependent.Never raise anything from UTG SB or BB pre-flop.
AA is not as strong as in NLHE.
It depends on who you are up against and position.How should I play these hands pre? Should I re raise aces? Should I ever smooth call? Cash game this is. Please tips I suck at Omaha
Lets not be nits here. We can play second nut hands, its not really a problem but like holdem everything is relative.It is position dependent.Never raise anything from UTG SB or BB pre-flop.
This is completely wrong, you can raise hands from any position, you just need to know what you are doing
AA is not as strong as in NLHE.
With 5678 be careful even if you hit someone holding xx9-10 has you beat.
I just blew off a buy-in with 3 aces on a paired board to an opponent holding A-2 on an AAx2x board. It's a tricky game,I should have folded when the board paired and he raised me.
Google omaha and learn the game first, http://www.pokerstrategy.com/ has good stuff on omaha in it's silver section.
Yea, Dont listen to this.have a smallish buy in,and reraise,stick it all in,small in my case is around 3 dollar i usually win with 2 pair,or they fold,takes a bit of time and effort though to do many 3 dollar tables
Ok again you lost but there is variance in poker, again, lets not be nits about it. If you are ahead of range bet, simple as that. Dont worry about next card till it hits.Izaak the variance is huge in omaha.
Yesterday lost 3 buy-ins underfull/overfull house and twice with an inferior straight on each occasion my opponent was loose and I was ahead up untill the river.
The lesson here is even though you get it all in and are confident of winning, you are playing 6 different combinations any of which could be ahead of what you think is a dominant hand.
You have to see it coming, or else you suffer as I did.On the full house hand I lost a big stack built up over an hour of careful play.
35% actuallyYou can raise from UTG with some hands, suited rundowns, suited broadways etc.
AA is still strong. If you can get 50% of your stack in pre, you can shove any flop and it's +ev.
No its not.Is this a real thread? PLO discussions can be found, use the Search feature.
This for the most part is correct.AA still needs to have cards working together at least one suited and a face to go with other wise you are banking on an over pair, A falls on flop great but what about a cooridinated board? Ah7h8c type? You have the nuts now so how do you proceed? Heads up you are in good position but drawing hands want multiway pots your villians have like 20 outs 5', 6's, 9's, T's, and hearts are all set killers, where as you have 7 outs to improve only nullifying one of theirs (the 8h). You have to take this hand down now, can you drive them off their draw?
Yes we are betting but we dont have to drive them off their hand. When they hit we lose little, when they dont hit we win big. In this situation we can control the pot depending on turn and river cards. We are still betting but im not afraid if ppl call.
As for the coordinated straight draws, see flop as cheap as possible and then it's simple hit or dump. you are looking to hit at least 2 under cards (both below your top 2 cards) to play this. 46X on your 5678 hand I don't care for the second 679T hand because it's a gut shot needing the 8 otherwise it's only a 345 draw. Straight drawing hands are better with the low card being a one offer 579T vs. 789J where QJT9 dominates.
