Omaha Poker Hands
Category: Poker
There are many hands in Omaha that show real potential, and if you trust your play on the flop enough, you can try and see cheap flops with many of these, provided the blinds are not too large. When talking about the strongest starting hands, we should obviously mention the hand (A,A,K,K) double suited.
This is the most powerful poker hand you can have preflop, and I can only recall having been dealt it once. I won that hand with a Full House, but the opportunity for making different hands with these type of starting cards is huge. The double suited aspect ensures that not only you have the best shot at making a Flush, but it is gauranteed to be the nut Flush. The same applies to if you make a Straight. On top of this, if you make a set, you also know it will be the best possible set out there, and so there is real potential for winning a big pot with this hand.
Other interesting hands include pairs with connected or suited cards supporting them, and well as hand such as (J,Q,K,A). Whilst I would attach a reasonable amount of importance on your starting hand in Omaha, I have to say that I think your decision making on the flop, and following cards, is the most important aspect of the game. As long as you recognise when to put pressure on and when to fold a strong hand in differing situations, you should do well enough at Omaha no matter what your hole cards.
