Pot Limit Omaha has a reputation of being a game with huge swings (difference between winning and loosing sessions). Besides that, in most of the times it is also played with huge amounts. Fortunately there are also Pot Limit Omaha tables on the net which enables you to play for smaller amounts. At these tables the swings are very acceptable, funny enough because many players do not really understand the game. Below we give you an introduction for the beginning player, playing at the low limits:

When playing Pot Limit Omaha there are two things very important:

1. Trying to get the best hand (= the nuts)
2. Position at the table

In most occasions, when playing Omaha you'll need the nuts to win, whereas at Texas Hold'em lesser hands are also enough. Many bad players will call with for example a straight when there's also a flush or full house possible. Avoid at any time to become a member of this group because it's gonna cost you! In order to get the nuts you should only play starting hands in which this is possible. Preferable hands which give you the chance on for example the best straight or best flush. It's all about getting the best straight, the best flush or a high full house.

Good starting hands:

High pocket pairs

These are good cards. They give you the chance on a high full house. In case you do not hit a three of a kind on the flop you should fold.

Connected cards

Four connected cards, for example are very good starting hands, because they give you many chances on a straight.

Suited cards

These cards, for example are only worth playing in case they give you the chance on the best flush (= an Ace involved). It is very risky to draw on lower flushes.

At Pot Limit Omaha, position is extremely important. This because any free card you give away might be the one that defeats you. In other words, at this game slow playing is absolutely not recommended, even if you have the best hand! A straight or a flush can still be beaten by a full house! So when no one has raised and you are in late position, you should often bluff in order to get the pot.
It is because of this that it is not very wise to raise before the flop when you're in early position. Even if you have a super hand, for example
it is still the best to just call. Only when you are in late position you can raise. By the way, at Pot Limit Omaha you should not use raise to scare people out of the pot but to just build a big pot.
