With over thirty years experience in the poker world and numerous wins to my name, I feel it is time to give back to those who want to learn how to play Omaha poker. On this site you will learn what to do and what happens when you sit down to your first Omaha game, the basics of how to play Omaha poker. You will also learn about the best poker hands and what beats what, and more importantly in the pot limit Omaha strategy section you will learn what hands to open with, which to raise with and which to avoid.

Once you have begun to understand Omaha poker you can take it to another level and have a go at the great confounder of the game; Omaha Hi-Lo. Hi-Lo is even more complicated and full of intricacies and complications. If you really want to get your brain working then try Omaha Hi-Lo.
