A relatively new form of poker that took hold in cardrooms and casinos in the 1990's is the very exciting game of Omaha. Action is plentiful, especially in the high-low variations, where multi-way pots and frequent raising make the game very exciting. More and more players are finding that Omaha is their game of choice.
Players will choose from a total pool of nine cards to form their best five-card hands. Four of these cards will be in their own possession, dealt to them as down cards, while five cards will be face up in the community pool to be shared by all. Players may not choosejust any of the nine cards for their final five-card hands. They must use two cards from their own set of four cards and three from the community pool. Thus, if a player were dealt four aces in the hole, only two of the aces would count toward the final hand. The remaining three cards would have to come from the board.
In the case of Omaha high-low, players can choose one set for the high hand and one set for the low hand. For example, if a player held QQ5 2, and the board showed Q K A 7 6, two queens from his cards would be used to form the hand QQQA K— three queens with ace and king kickers for high. His 5 and 2 would be used to form 7 6 5 2 Q for low. In both of these instances, as you see, two of the player's down cards and three community cards were used to make the final poker hand.

Play your marginal hands in hold 'em as you would play marginal hands in the other poker variations-stay in only if the cost is cheap. These hands have possibilities, but they're not worth the price of a stiff bet. To enter the betting with marginal hands, you must take into account your position at the table.
The last position is the best. It permits you to see what prior bets were made before committing your hand. When you're facing heavy bets and raises, you must fold marginal hands. If only a call is necessary, however, give these cards a chance at the flop. A good flop can turn these cards into favorites.
In early or middle position, if you're holding marginal hands, you can call the opening bet. If there's been a raise, though, you must fold. If there is a raise after the initial bet has been called, you can see this raise also, but you must fold in the face of a double raise, or in situations where yet another raise can follow.
WEAK HANDS
All other hands, ones not shown in the above three categories, should be folded. They are heavy underdogs with little chances of winning. If you're playing in a hold 'em game requiring a blind or opening bet, by all means, though, take the flop for free. If it costs you to see the flop, fold immediately. It's much cheaper watching this round as a bystander.
