Tips
The best strategy for
playing Omaha Hi is to gage your game by asking yourself whether
you should fold your hand or keep playing it. Especially for
Omaha Hi/Lo, it is important to do this right from the start - And
to do so while considering your hands potential of not just being
the highest ranked hand, but for the lo side of the pot as well.
The following tips do
not subscribe to any poker strategy that claims to call itself tight
nor aggressive. Rather, these tips are helpful in that they
inform a player about their odds of forming a wide variety of hands.
Whether this is a pair or straight, it is your responsibility to
then determine if you would still like to stay in the game. A
large factor that cannot be pinpointed are the other players.
If you feel another player has a three of a kind, you may not want
to stay in the game if you only have good potential of forming a
high pair. Therefore, the best way to use these tips are to
guide your folds in the first two betting rounds. After that,
it is up to you to use your bluffing skills (if need be) and good
perception skills regarding other players.
Keeping in mind that you
should always initially attempt to win both pots in Omaha Hi/Lo, the
following starting hands have the most potential, and should always
be held onto until to see the Flop through at the least:
-
Two Pairs of 10 or
higher
-
Four cards no greater
than 5
-
Ace/2

-

greater than 5
-

suited with any third card)
