So here are the basic 'rules' to follow:Ī) YOU FLOPPED A FLUSH AND NO LOW DRAW IS PRESENT - For example, the flop is Qh-Jh-9h and you have Ad-Kh-4s-2h. The flop is the key street when you have a king-high flush in Omaha hi-lo. But if it's short handed, I certainly don't want to take on a preflop raiser who has position on me.

If it's a multi-way pot, I might call and hope for a long-shot flop or, at the very least, a nut low draw. If you already have a single preflop bet in there and you got caught by a late position raiser, your situation is not that great either. More to the point, few flops are really going to give me the nuts or a nut draw, so I'm more inclined to pass the 'speculative' hands when facing a preflop raise. I need a lucky flop and even if I get one, it can be hard to defend. Therefore, I'm rather inclined to give up hands like Ks-Qs-2h-3c from a late position when I'm facing a raise. In Omaha hi-lo, preflop raises generally come from three sorts of hands:ġ) STRONG HIGH: A-A-(with two high cards)- for example A-A-K-J.Ģ) STRONG LOW: for example A-2-3-5 (usually suited one way)ģ) STRONG MIX OF HIGH AND LOW POTENTIAL : A-A-K-2. As such, I have developed a rather systematic approach which addresses all the difficulties: maximizing profit (if you are in front), putting pressure on all the draws and finding out whether I'm up against an ace high flush as early as possible. But on the other hand, there is the prospect of running into the ace-high flush - a danger more prominent in Omaha than in hold'em. On the one hand, it can be highly profitable because you will never split the high end of a pot when you hold a flush.

In Omaha hi-lo, I use a very 'specific' approach when I flop a king high flush.
