Many
players seem to draw the wrong conclusions from important
certainties that exist in Omaha. They think that because their nut
flush on the turn is beat on the river when the card is placed, it
means that there is a mystical side and risky. Yet it is precisely
the opposite is true.
There are a specific number of cards that can be placed on the
table and you will lose. There are also a number of cards equally
accurate that you will win. If you have the nut flush on the turn,
and no card from your hand not pair the table, your opponent has a
set and none of his cards will pair the table, there are exactly
forty potential maps for river. Ten will do exactly the pair with
the table and you will lose. 30 will not pair with the table and
you will take. This is simply mathematics. In the long term, you
win three out of four. It is a known fact. That is Omaha.
Do not be confused by concepts irrelevant. What is important in any
form of poker, but even more so when we talk about Omaha is the
probability of winning. What matters is how many cards with and as
any combination you can make the winning hand. If you know how many
cards are likely to make your hand, you know that in the long run,
you will win pots in this proportion: if you have x% chance of
winning the winning hand, you'd better have at least the
corresponding proper pot odds.
Omaha is a game of precision, clarity and factual information. Of
course, you happen to be unlucky and sometimes because of advances
Omaha are so big, when you're unlucky pill can sometimes be rather
hard to swallow. But insofar as advances are generally so
important, if you play good starting hands in Omaha and you are
unlucky, you can still win. Just keep your discipline.
Starting hands. Unlike the Holdem is the game where post-flop is
the most critical win in Omaha begins by basically having a good
starting hand. Starting hands before the flop and there is where
you have huge advances against the field in Omaha. On the turn, you
will often times when some players shoot death and it is clear that
there is more money.
But the most simple, the most direct and the most necessary to win
those parts is not playing the wrong hands and to put more money in
the pot when you have A255 and many of your opponents have hands
style K965. Ensure that rotten hands with very low expectations of
gain pay before the flop when there are huge dogs is an important
part of what makes winning at Omaha.
