Know More About Pot Limit Omaha Poker Part 1: What To Do On Pre-flop

It has been stated on the first part of this series that PLO tends to have a relatively close starting hand in terms of value. Due to this it is not advisable to bet a big portion of your stack except if you have a superior hand like the AAxx. You need to follow this because things can change instantly once the flop hits the board.

It's given that if you have a good hand, you won't mind raising the bet but it's advisable that you don't gamble away 10% of your stack before the flop opens. The mere exemption would be having a hand not less than an AAxx or KK/QQ.

With these hands you can bet less than 10% of your stack or probably bet more than 50%.

Gambling Less Than 10%

Gambling below 10% of your stack is advisable so that you can backup with no financial heartbreak if the flop turn out not to favor you. An example would be playing in a $100 buy in PLO game where you possess a hand of AsKsJdQc which is rather a great hand.

If the flop turned out to be composed of two suited cards that you don't have, AJQ, then at a $7 bet you can let the hand go with not much restraint unless you wanted to find yourself involve in a raising war.

But if the pot is opened to $7 and you gained two callers - it's safe for you to re-raise your bet to $38 and then call with your current 3 pair and gut-shot to divide the pot. That time, the pot would be offering about $200 - 3 times more than your bet.

It is recommended that you don't bet 20%-40% of your stack before the flop is opened.

Why bet more than 50%?

If you happen to have a tough hand either an AAxx or KK/QQ then you might want to go heads-up by betting more than 50% of your stack. You'll basically fold anyone who's not keen to battle up against a big pot and those who are brave enough to call will remain.

And then you have to bet every flop that will turn because you are already committed to the pot since pre-flop, and with that kind of card you have some kind of advantage over your opponents.
