I have been playing a few tournaments of PLO. I have only played hold em and this is refreshing. I do however have to relearn hand strength and odds and whatnot. With more hole cards to choose from it is easier for your opponent to make a hand, conversly it also easier for you.

Please look at the hand. This is a small tournement, I believe with about 20 players, 6 max, 5 dollar buy in with rebuys. Bunch of limpers; I bet the pot pre-flop and I bet the pot on the flop and I was jammed. I feel like I played this correctly, but I am still learning this game.

Any recommend books? Dan Harrington has the best Hold 'em books I have ever read and I'm looking for something similar for Omaha.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

I don't play Omaha, but recently I've read that you have to think that a common winning hand is at least a set or straight, cause there are more cards in other players hands.

So, preflop, that doesn't seems like a strong hand to raise, cause you don't have any suited, and any correlative. The only board that helps you is more aces, and there are only two left.

In the flop are two suited cards, and both can give a straight draw to other players, so there's many outs against you, also the possibility of being against sets or two pairs.

I can't add much more, maybe a more experienced player can help better here.

I see this a lot, not sure whether it looks same on high stakes.

Bear in mind, I'm just starting with PLO.
Preflop: I would raise with As. Like a lot. A pot lot.
Flop: As are already too weak for this, imo. Maybe fold.

Hi,

play PLO small field tourneys on micro levels in few rooms very often, so not surprised because of limps.
The AAxxo cards very far from the pre-hands what are good for raise, especially in your given situation. It's like a low pair in NLH, good for a call and if you hit set, lets hope someone has Ax 2 pairs or smaller sets.
After flop, it's a check/fold. The drawing cards play a significant part in this game and u don't have any. actually nothing. no flush/straight draw, or combo, not even the flush draw A blocker.

I guess, your opponent see how you raise, in that case, he even had odds to call your allin with craps like he showed. by the way on flops like this, most of the time you get calls/reraise allins with combo draws (+1pair). and they have the equity most of the time. just curious what range you put him, when you decided to push allin, because i hardly can see any hands, what he can have and folds it.

never read any plo tourney book. watched videos, played micros, checked plenty situations equity, especially combo draws, those are the tricky. and setup standard preflop game. i don't think any book will help to find out what 5-10% hands you can play and how, especially not on micro/low tourneys.

i guess, 1st you should focus on starting hands, and forget the stereotype about AA from Holdem.
