When you are playing an Omaha high-low game you must keep in mind that you have to win the whole pot by winning as well the high as the low. Some players play to win something and this way they don't get the whole bid, they split it with other players at the table and this should not be your goal because you might end up losing more money than you actually win. Winning both the high and the low will have to make you very selective with the hands you play firstly and with the cards you still keep playing after the flop.
Select the hands that you play and never start playing with a hand that is too risky and with low winning odds. If you however spot a hand that is likely to scoop the pot, they you should definitely play it no matter the risks. Also first you have to select the table you will play in. Play only tables that are loose, where one or more weak players are present or at least tables that rank below your average Poker table. Calculate the pot odds frequently and see if a call is necessary or not.
Raising before the flop should be done very rarely if not never. It is risky and this is not a game of risks. Remembering that you have to scoop the flop will keep you from doing this bet unless you are absolutely sure is will bring you the entire pot. If your flop is good however, then start an aggressive playing manner and give it everything you have (not money but Poker skills).
Once you find yourself on the flop you can see enough cards to realize whether you are going to win both the high and the low. You must be ready to fold here whenever necessary.
Bluffing in an Omaha high-low game should be done rarely and only sometimes on the river only if you don't see any low hands out.
You can play average starting hands when you are in late position and more players have already called.
Some things that are considered mistakes and you should never do in this game are the following:
- Too many hands played.
- Going through with it when the hand only has a potential for either the high or the low.
- Raising in flop with a good hand will make others fold and the pot won't be as big as expected.
- Raising the flop when you have a low or high hand and the cards drawn are the exact opposite of your hand.
