Strategy: Omaha Hi

Omaha is definitely a card game for poker players who like strategy.  Players
must be aware of the many possible draws and made hands out there.  Many
times there are players beaten with a bigger straight, flush or even full houses.

Only play 3 of the possible pairs before the flop; aces, kings and queens.  That

way when you flop a set on the flop you'll usually have the highest set.  

Avoid lower wraps (4 consecutive cards in your starting hand) because you
could easily have a lower straight if you actually hit one, same with small flush
draws too.  

When you have AAxx before the flop you would like to put all your money in the
pot before the flop whenever possible, to take out the limpers and get heads

up.
Before the flop AAxx is a favorite over any other hand.  

Playing hands with other big pocket pairs (KKxx, QQxx, JJxx) in Pot-Limit
Omaha, you'll want to see the flop for the least amount possible.   These hands
are only good to see if you will flop a set.  

Playing strong hands before the flop it is recommended that you make a small
raise to increase the pot in case you hit on the flop.  If your hand is strong after

the flop, you should bet hard in order to protect your hand.
