Trouble Starting Hands for Omaha Poker

Video Transcript

Ok. We talked about very good starting hands for Pot Limit Omaha. And, those are hands that when you get them you look down you have those hands you should raise the pot. Get as much money in, especially in a tournament situation as you can for that given betting round. Now, let's talk about hands that you want to see the flop with. If you can get in at a good price. Usually, let's say you?re in late position and all you have to do is limp in call the minimum bet to see the flop and you're getting a good return on that bet. Well, those hands are a wrap around straight draw that is not double suited. So, you see we've got ten, nine, eight, seven and the nine and the eight are suited. But, the ten and the seven are different suits. That way, you want to see the flop and see if you get any if you improve at all. If you don't, let the hand go. Then we have, jack, ten, eight, seven. It's not suited and there's a gap. One gap is cool to see a flop with. And, when I say gap it's jack, ten, skips the nine, eight, seven. And, then lastly is another wrap around straight draw. It's five to the eight. Now, you don't want to go lower than five. Sometimes four. The way you want to make sure you do, is if you go down to four you don't allow yourself any gaps. With five, you can have one gap. You can have five, six, eight, nine. But, when you go down to four. You want to have four, five, six, seven. And, you don't want to play anything lower than that. Because, what will happen if you flop a straight you'll probably be on what we call the "sucker" end and you'll be losing all your chips.
