Omaha (hi) instructional video.
"This hand exemplifies the loose aggressive play in pot limit Omaha online"
I generally like this video provided by epokervideo as a basic guide for Omaha hi, pot limit. The instructor is clear and knowledgeable. What I like most about it is that he sticks to the basics in telling you what kind of hand you should be playing, and those are hands that have chemistry. Pairs and double suited sets of four are highly playable. The best hand would be ace ace king king double suited, but as in any Omaha game, you've got to be able to read a board and know when to get out a hand.
After all, Omaha is a drawing game and by nature, the majority of online players love to see the next card despite poor odds and in spite of sound strategy. So if you think it's hard to get somebody to fold in hold them, then just wait until you get into hand-to-hand combat in Omaha poker.
You will see a good example of this in the video at approximately 4 minutes, when the instructor shelves his set of nines into the middle and gets one player to fold, but one player calls with a draw and doubles up.
The instructor is holding 7d9d9cTh while drawing opponent holds JsKc9hQc when the flop comes Ks9s7c giving the aggressor middle set with full house draws against the loose opponent who hit two pair, and is drawing to a gut shot straight draw.
The instructor actually says after the hand that he was probably a 60 to 65% favorite after the flop when all the chips went in. It's true he was a favorite, but even he did not realize how much a favourite, he was, as we can see from the backhander poker calculator here that his opponent was basically a 3:1 underdog.
This hand exemplifies the loose aggressive play in pot limit Omaha online, whether it be tournament or ring games. I really think the instructor here could have saved himself some chips, if he had seen the turn and even the river before shoving in the stack. I tend to play less aggressive than this in Omaha high low, in fact, the lower the limits.
The more passive, you should play until you know you have a very strong or nut strength hand. This will help you gain control of the pot while limiting your losses with marginal situations. sit and go strategy calculator - free offer
