Advanced Strategy Afterthought
As you have seen, the secret to Omaha eight-or-better is to make the nuts with redraws.
Of course, these hands don’t occur very often, which is why you must have a good understanding of the opponent you are up against.
Likewise, position is critical.
You can steal a lot if the games are tight.
There also are opportunities to bluff, which usually occur when high cards flop in short-handed pots.
Keep in mind that the low hands can stand more action than the high hands.
And in a multiway pot, just having a dry ace-deuce is not good enough.
But most important, make sure that you are protected against being counterfeited.
It is vital to have all four of your cards working together, whether you hold a high hand or a low hand.
In addition, you need to determine whether you want the pot to be large or small, and whether the time is right to start jamming.
Knowing exactly how you want to play your hand – before the flop, on the flop, and after the flop – is crucial in this game.
Should you bet or raise, or should you check and wait to make sure that your hand does not get counterfeited?
These are decisions you must constantly make.
