It was just last week that we took a 10-minute Texas Hold’em crash course, and here we are once again with another variant of poker called Pot-Limit Omaha. Now, as we know that the pandemic coronavirus has forced you to sit at home, and of course, we all need a little more excitement in life, then why not step into the virtual felts and show off your PLO moves? 

Pot-Limit Omaha

Especially for beginners, it’s a good idea to start off your poker career or even play for recreation online on various websites in the country like Spartan Poker!! Now that you have mastered Texas Hold’em, Pot-Limit Omaha, which is often called simply Omaha, is an exciting poker game that is strikingly similar to Texas Hold’em, although it does have a number of differences to set it apart.

PLO is the second most popular game in the US and Europe, and this article will guide to get you acquainted with Pot-Limit Omaha. To start off, what are the rules? Texas Hold’em and PLO are flop games with four streets of betting and starting stacks of 100BB. Each player is precisely dealt with four-hole cards instead of two. However, the player doesn’t use all four cards to make a hand because they can compete using two of them. The player must use precisely two-hole cards and three community cards to make a five-card poker hand. 

The first betting round is called the pre-flop, and players can play according to the strength of their cards. They are given three options: call, raise, and fold. The small blind and big blind are the forced bets on the table. Until all players have made an equal bet, the particular betting round will continue in the clockwise direction.

Now, come to the flop action, where 3 out 5 community cards open, and players need to look out to make the 5 card best combination based on the hand rankings. Now, the player has three options as described above. Second is the turn card, the third betting round after flop where the fourth card is dealt face up. The final round of the game is called River, where the last card of the 5 community cards is dealt on the table. This round is the last chance to make the best hand in Omaha.

Once the betting round is complete, all the players on the community cards are made to show down their cards instantly. The one with the high hand wins the pot. Omaha, like hold’em, is a game where you need to know when it’s time to play and when it’s best to fold your cards. Be patient. Wait until your starting hand fits the range you should play, use the information you have to read your opponents and decide whether you should continue or not.
