Pot limit Omaha is an excellent poker game featured on PokerStar.com and more and more
people have started to play this game online in the online poker rooms. Not every online
poker room has Omaha, but most of them do so you should have lots of options when looking
for your poker room. Omaha is a lot more fun then most poker games because you have a lot
more options to hit a monster hand, but if you play to loosely then you’re going to end
up losing your stack. We’re going to go through some tips that you can utilize when you’
re playing pot limit Omaha next.
* A lot of people chase hands when playing limit poker and although pot limit can still
get pretty expensive you’ll still find some chasers. You need to make sure that when you
have a hand you bet it so that you don’t allow draws into the pot. Often when you allow
draws into the pot for cheap they will end up hitting there draw and costing you a lot of
money.
* Since every poker star player gets four cards dealt to them and they also get to use the five board
cards this means every player has nine cards to make the best five card hand. This allows
for a lot of options and usually the winning hand is a pretty big hand. You won’t see
pairs or even two pairs winning pots in Omaha very often so don’t bet them like you’re
winning the pot. You should be looking for full houses, straights, flushes and anything
better when you’re playing Omaha.
* You can only use two cards from your hand and three cards from the board when you’re
playing Omaha so you also should keep this in mind. If you’re dealt three of a kind then
you should fold because you can’t use all three in your hand and you don’t have many
options to improve your hand. The same goes if you’re dealt four of the same suit on
PokerStar.net, simply because the chance of hitting a flush when you already have 4 of
the same suit is slim.
* Omaha Holdem is typically a lot looser poker game then any of the other poker games played online so you
shouldn’t be worried about lots of players calling hands. Most people only see the
options they have and therefore call down to the river trying to hit there draw. Make
sure if you already have a made hand that you make it the highest possible bet to limit
how many draws will chase to the river.
* You should limit raising preflop in pokerstar.net Omaha as well because
any hand could win before the flop and a raise won’t scare many people. When you raise it
actually gives away that you probably have big cards so if low cards come out on the flop
you’ll usually see someone bet big in front of you since they know you didn’t hit. If you
want to try and bluff the pot the best chance you’ll have at doing so is after the flop.
