Have just started playing some Pot Limit Omaha High. I was wondering what would be considered average/loose/tight for % flops seen? I am looking for hands like Q J T 9 where all 4 cards work together and am throwing away hands like 6 7 K J and Q J 6 5. I'm folding almost as much pre flop as I do in Hold 'Em. Is this normal?


As an example would any of the following hands be playable for you?

Qs JavaScript 6h 7h

Ac 2c Ah 9h

3s 4s Jh Jd

As Ac 5c 5s

Qs 7s 4h 3h

I'd play all of those hands except for the last one.

As an example would any of the following hands be playable for you?

Qs JavaScript 6h 7h - very loose

Ac 2c Ah 9h - definite play

3s 4s Jh Jd - loose

As Ac 5c 5s - definite play

Qs 7s 4h 3h - very loose, if you play this you will pretty much play anything.


Some people play PLO a little more loosely than holdem. If you are seeing more than 35% of flops you are a maniac.

Thats pretty much what I thought Beavis. Am I right in the general principle of wanting all 4 cards to all work together?

E.g:
8s 9s 10c Jc

Is a beter hand than:
Kc Ks 3h 8d

That is the general rule, and good for beginners, more advanced players play a lot of stuff.

A pair of Ks or Qs and even Jacks are decent, but you really are playing for set value, and after the set you are kind of playing for a boat.

I would take the 89TJ in a heartbeat.

9h Th Jh 9d

Good hand?

It's ok, but the three hearts hurts it.

Are there any calculators like Poker Stove for Omaha?
