Play Online Poker

The most played poker game still is Texas Holdem, but it’s fun to play other poker games also. I found out that it will actually improve your regular poker game.

Sometimes you’ll be playing and playing and playing, that you’ll get tired of playing and this will infect your game in the bad sense. So what do I do if I feel this is coming up, I’m switching card games.
One of them is Omaha, limited or not.

How to Play Pot Limit Omaha?
First of all, Omaha is almost the same as Texas Holdem, except you’ll be getting 4 handcards instead of 2 and 2 cards in your hand will be counted into your 5 best cards after the river.

What’s the big difference with Texas Holdem I hear you ask? Well Omaha is more a drawing game. You can have the best startinghands possible, but with the many possibilities of draws that can be made after the flop, this can change in just a draw. I can have the worst hand after the flop and on the Turn I could be in the lead, so fast it can change.

So with Pot Limit Omaha, if you’re holding good starting hands, always raise to the max you can pre-flop. Scare off others as soon as possible.
After the flop, you can take a look what everyone is doing and decide to bet or not. If you made your hand even better, again bet, don’t just call, raise instead. The lesser people on the river the more chance you’ll have to win. Three Aces are losing from a straight if you play against 359K with AJ2Q4 on the table, you don’t want your opponent to hit the nuts at the river.

On the other hand, if you’re having bad starting hands, they could be very profitable for you after the flop. So try to see the flop as much as possible if you can, who knows what shows up.
