Yeah I have played quite a bit of omaha with people who have absolutely no clue about how the game is played and if u can play properly you can make a lot of chips quickly although expect to lose to a few suckouts cause call and see will suck out occasionally. Good luck and enjoy.

Yeah just pretend your placing against a 5 year old...just play tight and smart and you will win...the ery bad players still don't even know that you only use 2 of your cards...i seen it happen too many times the board was 4 hears and the guy had 1 heart in his hand and he thought he had a flush...

You play tight because you don't want to get involved in big multi-way pots with the second or third nuts (or worse), because the chances are one of the 5 other players in the pot has you beat (while most of the others are probably happily calling with their gutshots etc). A tight hand selection means that (a) you will most likely have the best hand when entering a pot, and (b) when you hit a flop your hand will be good, as opposed to a second/third nuts trap.
Essentially, nut peddle. You can profit easily enough like this i... | | Read Entire Entry |
