Sample Three Hand in Omaha Holdem

Video Transcript

"Here is a starting hand that might get us excited because it gots 2 aces in it, but unlike Texas Hold'em if you get two aces in Omaha you need a little something with them. Luckily here we got the ace of hearts and the 3 of hearts, so we can draw to the nut flush. We can also draw 2 a low straight ace to 5 also known as the wheel. That actually is pretty much the limit to what we can draw to because let us look at the several hands that we have. We have aces, we have ace 3 suited but we also have ace 9, ace 9 is not a strong hand in addition we have 9 3, not a lot going on there. Not a lot of drawing possibilities, so what we are looking for is we're hoping for an ace on the flop or we're hoping for a couple of hearts. If all we get is a board that doesn't hit us and we are playing our two aces we need to remember this is Omaha and we need to play those few aces with caution."
