With all the T.V. exposure no limit hold’em has received I have seen a significant drop in the number of "other" poker games, such as Omaha/8 Hi/Low and Omaha Hi only. These had been a few of the finest games in the house with pots four times the size of hold em games and that was the norm. They had been also several of the most profitable to bet on in in case you had the right tools at your disposal.

For those of you who don’t know, a great lower casino game is normally bet eight or better, meaning you must have 5 non-paired cards eight and lower. A "wheel", Ace to five, is the very best possible low followed by a 6-432A. The straight hands go both ways and may scoop the entire pot. The pot is usually divided in two halves, a high side plus a lower side. So if you had a wheel within your hand you could well be assured of winning a number of money back. You might need to share it with other players who also have a wheel, a quite common occurrence. You hand may be very powerful if you had a flush with your wheel, the higher the greater of course. Omaha high 8 or greater can be a flop based casino game where you receive four hole cards and must play two from your hand to produce a hand.

To wager on the game well you will need a few basics. Initial, bet on four cards that work together. An A234 will be a terrific reduced hand if you were suited with your ace. AK23 is a fantastic 2 way hand also should you had been suited with either the A or K. AKQ2 is a terrific two way hand as well, except much greater around the good side and stronger still in case you had suited or double suited cards. Several players will say that you must go for low all the time and throw away the great hands. Sorry folks, that can be a recipe for disaster. The high side scoops the entire pot if there’s no small, isn’t that superior than the probable half a pot if there is a reduced possible. Many boards have to have a small card about the river for there to be a small and every time they miss someone with a great hand scoops the pot. The hands listed above really should all be raised preflop, another mistake the average Omaha/8 gambler makes is that they for a number of odd reason like to see flops low-cost with poor hands plus a profit player will exploit this. These same negative gamblers will see that flop no matter what. They will take those undesirable cards and call a capped pot in hopes of the deck jumping up and kissing them around the cheek using a magic flop. This doesn’t happen quite frequently though.

Remember to play with four cards that work together and usually, continually, often have an Ace within your hand. The other three cards need to be paint, a K, Queen, J or 10 or wheel cards, a deuce, trey, four or 5 or some combination of the 2 groups. Go for the high side when ever there exists a single or no small card around the flop and fit your hand to the flop or fold. One last thing, draw to the nuts, on either the great or lower side or at least be aware when you don’t you’ll gambling.
