Ultimately, being successful in PLO requires a combination of passivity and aggression at the right times.
So, any time you see PFR stats of 20 percent or lower and more than 50 percent of players taking to the flop, you should get ready to ante-up and make some money. Low pre-flop raise (PRF) stats, combined with a large number of players joining the action, is usually indicative of a weak table. Our top tip for finding a beatable table is to look at the stats of the table (you'll see the stats listed in the cash game lobby). Table selection, more over site selection, is also an important Omaha strategy you need to master. However, that doesn't mean you can simply ante-up at any table and hope to make a profit. Of course, that doesn't mean all PLO players are weak, but it does mean that the average skill level is a lot lower than it is in Hold'em. Fortunately, unlike Texas Hold'em, Omaha grinders aren't as skilled in the online arena. The final thing you need to add to your Omaha skill set is table selection. Sticking with our strategy, it's best to bet again. In this spot there are no more cards to come and it's another relatively strong position for you. For this reason it no longer became a good idea to be aggressive and once again it was wiser to take a conservative approach.įinally, the river was a blank three and in this spot it's very likely that, given the previous action on the turn, your hand is good. In this instance, a call on the flop was best but after dodging a flush the possibility of trip tens became apparent on the turn. On the flop an over-pair and straight draw was enough for you to continue, but because of the flush draw it was important not to over-commit too many chips because novice players will generally call with any weak flush Although not the strongest PLO hand possible, a pair of kings and connected 4 and 5 are more than enough to raise with pre-flop. In keeping with the idea of strong pre-flop play and conservative post-flop play the hero in this hand raised it up with Kd Ks 4h 5s. Making pairs, straights and flushes is a lot easier in a game of PLO and for this reason you should always aim to play the strongest starting hands possible and fold anything that's not close to the nuts post-flop. PLO is a more volatile game than Hold'em and because the structure is Pot Limit, it means you're forced to play more pots post-flop. Although many tenets of solid Hold'em play are applicable in the PLO world, the addition of two extra hole cards and the "must use two" rule means slight alterations have to be made if you want to be successful.Īrguably the most significant way in which these conditions affect Omaha strategy is variance. This difference may seem small, but it's one that regularly catches players out and often leads to issues when implementing a solid Omaha strategy. In this situation, the player would need to have two clubs in their four hole cards in order to make a flush. The main difference between Hold'em and Omaha is that Omaha is played with four hole cards and, importantly, every player MUST use two of these when making a handįor example, if there were four clubs on the board and a player had one club in their hand they would not have a flush in PLO (they would in Hold'em, however).
