Ill teach you some things i guess :
.
Here's the deal , we all play primium hands, we start with jj's suited with a split and wired connector , the other hands are not even worth going in in the pot , unless your table is very loose ..
But i suggest you play these hands :
Starting with the highest order :
A
A
K
K
( or simular with other suits )
K
K
Q
Q
Q
Q
J
J
J
J
10
10
These hands you play no matter what happens preflop , unless pushed all in dont think you got a monster , you want to play it like it's pot limit, keep the pot small before seing the flop, let them be the aggresor .
For the other hands you'll play :
Any wired A
A
( meaning , A
A
3
3
)
Any suited A
A
thats connected !!! ( meaning , A
A
4
6
)
Any wired K
K
Any suited thats connected !!! K
K
Any higher pair then 88 that is wired , suited , or connected .
In that combination you would be fine .
( so not any aces with rag , believe me you only have aces then , it's hard to play aces in omaha if you dont have any back up cards or you flop nothing )
Oh and if you do flop nothing and only have aces, and somebody comes out betting , believe me , fold is a good thing in omaha .
If you flop nothing , but got a high pair in your hand, with no draws to a straight or flush , i would suggest laying it down if there has been betting..
If you flop two pair , try to keep the pot small , since this is a danger hand ,you lose usually to higher two pairs , or sets , straights , flushes and so on , if you do flop two pair and you got straight draw or flush draw ( high one , you can manage to stay in ) , if you got multiple two pairs , dont lay it down aswell till you see river, i dont say call a all in , keep the pot small . till the river . ( Multiple 2 [pair ? ? ) what >> lol that is like you got
Q
7
9
10
( small pot entered , limped in .. ) called a small raise is fine , these hands i usually stay away from unless you feel the table is very loose this can be a good hand then , and the flop is 10
Q
7
. now you got two pair Queens and tens , or you got two pair Queens and 7vens or two pair 10's and 7'vens, either way if one of those cards come out again , you'll have a full house , which is a strong hand in omaha , and hold em ofcourse .. )
Keep the pot small , you dont want to be the aggresor pre flop , on the flop make your decessions,
Be carefull for if you do have a set, these hands you want to play till the river , but still keep the pots avarage, if the board pairs , still dont go over your head, if he has a higher set , or the quads you'll lose allot , so value it like if the pot is 450 , bet 300 , look out if they are not out for the flush ,, straight ,, full house, or higher ..
By keeping the pot small , and only calling there bets , you would do fine .
Flopping a joint , full house, flush , highest straight possible.
Which one do you think you may play aggresive ?
( Drawing to the joint ) Play for sure till river .
How do you play here ?
For this i cant suggest anything then to look how the table plays , are they loose , tight , tight aggresive , calling stations and so on , you'll have to adjust your style to it .
For Quads, and higher ... you wont need advice , go for it ! SLOW PLAY !
I think i have a other omaha hi blog posted about the hand sessions i played in omaha hi , pot limit . You can look at it and see which hands i played .. allot of them are kept out , but those where small pots ..
I got 3 sessions posted on the website you can check it out .
Good luck at the tournament bro !
