Omaha Poker Strategy

Playing a low Omaha Poker hand

Making the lowest hand in a game of Omaha poker has the potential to take down half the pot. To make the lowest hand, a player must fit two unpaired cards in their hand with a rank of 8 or lower with three unpaired community cards with a rank of 8 or lower. A player can also take the whole pot by making both the highest and lowest hands. That is—fitting two low cards in their hand with low cards on the board, and making a high hand with the other two cards.

All of this may sound very confusing, and certainly with all the action at the table, your brain may be moving more quickly than it wants to, but finding hands worth playing gets easier over time. The hardest part is avoiding staying in the game too long with hands that are doomed to fail. Thus, it is best to remember that if you can’t fit your hand with the flop, you should probably throw it away, rather than holding on to it and forcing yourself to throw unnecessary money into the pot.
