Omaha Poker Tips: Transitioning from Hold'em to Omaha

A guide for Hold'em players who are making the transition into Omaha. This article offers a few key concepts that will help a novice Omaha player adapt to the rules and strategies that differ from Hold'em.

There are several variations of Omaha including No Limit, Limit, and Pot Limit (commonly referred to as PLO). Omaha is typically played one of two ways: as either a High only game (usually the case in No Limit or Pot Limit) or a Hi/Low game (almost exclusively played as a Limit game). In Omaha High, the pot is awarded to the best five card poker hand, while in Hi/Low, the pot can be split or "scooped" depending on the board and the hands in play. If you have never played a Hi/Low game before, you should definitely check out the "Omaha Hi-Low Basics" article linked above.

If you are brand new to the game of Omaha, your first read should be the "How to Play Omaha" article linked at the top of the page. This will help teach you the basics of the game, which can be applied to any type of Omaha game including PLO and Omaha Hi/Low. Once you have a solid understanding of how the game works, there are plenty of Omaha strategy articles that are sure to help you become a successful player.

If you are broadening your horizons by learning Omaha, but are already familiar with Texas Hold'em strategy, the article "Transitioning from Hold'em to Omaha" is a must read. While several important concepts will spill over from Hold'em, Omaha is a whole new beast and can be confusing to those who are making the switch.

If you are looking for more action then your regular Stud or Hold'em game has been offering, PLO is a great choice for you. The article on Pot Limit Omaha explains why the game can be so profitably and why action junkies should look no further.

Most of the articles in this section have been written by players who have made a living by specifically focusing on Omaha, fueled by their love for the game and it's profitability.
