Omaha's not the aggressive, bluffing game that No-Limit Holdem is. But that doesn't mean you won't run into super-aggressive players in Omaha who try to bluff you off big pots. As in Holdem, the only way to beat these players is to call those big...

There are numerous theories out there about what hands people should play in Omaha 8 including point systems that take into account each of the cards you hold in your hand. However, it's much easier than that, especially when playing at the lower...

You should never use the word "never" in poker. It's a game where absolutes not only don't apply, they're foolish. But I'm never check-raising again. If you've read this column with any regularity - hi, loyal reader - you know I'm not a big fan of...

Omaha is not quite the passive game I once believed it was. In fact, it's a game that lends itself to attacking suspicious bets even more than Holdem. I've got $25 in a .10/.25 Pot-Limit Omaha game on PokerStars, and I'm in the cutoff position...

Quads, as we all know, is a great hand, even in Omaha, a game governed by great hands. Let's take a look at why I bet them like I had only a pair. I've got 10[s] - 10[d] - K[s] - A[d] in the cutoff position in a six-handed, .10/.25 game on...

The argument for multi-tabling is that you'll earn so many more bets per hour. You can get more value for your time that way. I'm beginning to wonder. I've got $28 in a .10/.25 Pot-Limit Omaha game, and I've got 3[d] - Q - 3 - 7 in the small...

As if my post a few weeks ago wasn't enough to convince you that you can actually bluff in Omaha, I'm presenting more evidence. You seriously can. Or maybe you think I'm a donkey. Follow along and form your opinion later. OK, so I'm playing...

Some things go really well together, such as beer and baseball, ice cream and hot fudge, and casinos and suckers. Other things may not go quite as well together. Like "The Matrix" and its sequels. In poker, I'd argue that nothing goes better than...

One of the "rules" about Omaha is that it's almost impossible to bluff. There are just too many hands out there that people can call with. But the greatest thing about poker is that it's one of the few venues in life that has no hard rules. It's...

I have K-K-10-3 single suited. A very aggressive player raises (he had Q-Q-8-2, don't reveal that) and bets the pot on the flop, $1.85. He has like $135. I call, which is a bad play. I need to raise here. Flop 8-3-5. You can play Omaha...

You can always spot the Hold 'Em players at the Omaha tables. They tend to overvalue their hands. You can also tell the more advanced but still weaker Omaha players. They tend to overvalue their redraws. Let's take a look. I'm playing .10/.25...

That's it. I'm officially done with Hold 'Em. OK, OK. For a month. I'll never give it up completely. You can't and play poker these days. If you ever want to play live, you'd better play Hold 'Em, and online, Hold 'Em is still king. But, man, the...

I have a secret. You want to know how to build a stack in a limit Omaha 8 tournament? Play like a maniac. Before you stop reading thinking I've lost my mind, let me explain. Early in a tournament, the blinds and pots are usually small. You can win...

Hey. Welcome back. We're bringing back this weekly feature, Poker Plays with Pokerpeaker, where I go through my thought process of playing a hand and try to present some lessons along the way. Because it's poker, I'll never say I played the hand...

This is the third installment in the "Mixed Games" series. I have previously written on razz, and I presuppose the knowledge there of making a low hand, what beats what, etc. In this article, I'll provide some starting hands and some basic...

It happens to almost everyone eventually. You click on the wrong button, misread the lobby, or simply zone out. For what ever reason, when the first cards are dealt, you find yourself holding four cards instead of two. You are now stuck in an Omaha...

I don't write about Omaha often, but I do play. When the experts can't really agree on a strategy that works, I'm not about to claim to know the secret to the game, but I can attest to one thing; Any hand that relies on a nine as an operative card...

If you are unfamiliar with Omaha Hi/Lo, please see my article “Omaha Hi/Lo – A Short Introduction” for some basic explanations. A lot of people play Omaha Hi/Lo in preference to Omaha High. This can be seen at certain large on-line sites where some...
