Omaha Poker Strategy

Omaha Poker Game Types

Pot Limit, No Limit, Fixed Limit Omaha

• Pot-Limit Omaha

In Pot Limit Omaha, the minimum bet is the same as the big blind size, but players can still bet up to the pot size.

Minimum raise: The amount raised in the same round must be at least as much as the previous bet or raise.

Maximum raise: The pot size, which is defined as the active pot total, plus all bets on the table, plus the amount that the active player must first call before raising.

There is no 'cap' in Pot Limit Omaha over the number of raises permitted.

• No Limit Omaha

The smallest bet in No Limit Omaha is the same as the big blind's size, but players can always bet up to all their chips as much more as they wish.

Minimum raise: The raised sum in No Limit Omaha must be at least as high as the preceding bet or raise in the same round.

Maximum raise: The extent of your stack.

There is no 'limit' in No Limit Omaha over the number of raises permitted.

• Fixed Limit Omaha

In Fixed Limit betting Omaha is in predetermined, structured amounts. Pre-flop and all bets and raise on the flop are of the same number as the big blind. The scale of all bets on turn and river lifts doubles. Up to 4 bets per player are permitted in Limit Omaha during every betting round.

Position

The position is an important element in Omaha, as it is in hold'em. Many consider it even more important when all possible combinations a player can make with an Omaha poker hand are taken into consideration.

If you are sitting in place, you should obey your opponents' actions and make your decisions based on the knowledge you have got. It is much harder to make the right choices when out of place because you are most frequently working with imperfect knowledge.

Another advantage of being in a position is that you have a greater chance of managing the pot size, which is also dependent on your hand strength and overall target in the pot. Being out of place to one or more opponents, allows them the ability to manipulate the size of the bowl, as well as capitalizing on the additional knowledge to learn the acts first.

Bluffing

Since Omaha poker is based so much on the nuts, bluffing seems a simple game. With many more semi-bluffs available, a player can represent a wider range of hands in Omaha, and also open up their game a bit more. The more you know about the game, the easier it is to pick up on those spots and decide how to go against various opponents.

It is in this respect that in Omaha poker, also, "blockers" are even more common than in Texas hold'em. Blockers are the cards that you hold in your hand, preventing an opponent from making a particular hand.
