Omaha Poker Strategy - Become Better Omaha Poker Player

The best way to learn the Omaha poker or Omaha Hi/Lo poker is to join an online poker room and just start playing for free (I joined PartyPoker first). While playing for free, you will already be able to get a feeling for the game and how it works.

The next step, which should be done at the same time you sign up at PartyPoker, is to order a few books about Omaha poker. We recommend the following books to learn more about Omaha poker and how to become a winning Omaha poker player:

- "Omaha Holdem Poker" by Bob Ciaffone
- "Pot-Limit & No-Limit Poker" by Bob Ciaffone and Stewart Reuben (just 1 section about Omaha)
- "How Good Is Your Pot-Limit Omaha" by Stewart Reuben

These books should give you a basic unterstanding of strategy for Omaha poker. Once you read them, I recommend to play as much as possible, but also always think about every single one of your moves. Try to give yourself reasons for playing the way you are playing. Only when you are analytical with yourself, can you improve your own play.

After a couple weeks, I recommend going back to the books you read before and to re-read them. The reason therefore is that you will not be able to pick up every concept the books present at your first reading. Go back and try to study the books as much as possible, and of course, continue to play and continue to give yourself reasons for your moves.

Another way to become a better Omaha poker player is to join an online poker forum and discuss interesting hands in that forum. Other members will tell you how they would have played the hand and why. Also, try to analyze hands that other players are posting. That way, you can think about as many possible scenarios as possible, and when you are a thinking player, you will definitely become better and eventually, you will be a winning Omaha poker player. It just takes time, patience and lots of dedication!
