[kanibo0402]

what about AKAQ?

[wakka1400]

you can only use 2 of the cards in your hand, 2222 is only worth a pair

[kafros4ever2]

hand like 6 7 8 9 double shooting is better than qq kk simble?

[julepeypoker]

@kafros4ever2 double shooting? simble? why ppl like you try to play poker poor idiot?

u are only a retard fish who will lear some pot odds and he would think to himself that he is a pro.

it is said Suited when the both cards of the hand (in omaha two of four of the hand) are of spades, clubs, diamonds or heatrs. and when they are not suited, it is call 'off suit' not simble or simple or the hell you said

[kafros4ever2]

@julepeypoker

first of all i dont tell it that i am pro. i am an amature.i dont know well the definitions.

[AndrewsShort]

33XX is 100.00 vs 2222

[TheThing0123]

so am i supposed to fold all the other hands?

[crackerjack113]

wow

half of you guys down there don't know how to play omaha

you can only use TWO of the cards in your hand

[Tetoohm]

Best hand, 2222!!

Never loose. :x

[mickey91177]

suited

[mickey91177]

best hand : 8 9 10 J

[dragonblood12]

@mickey91177 i disagree. you ruin your outs for J 10 straight, you can really only go higher or lower, personally if your looking for a straight, i'de rather have 5 6 J 10, it covers the board, the only downside to this is, unless your J is suited with the 5 or 6 and the 10 suited with the other 5 or 6, it makes for a really low end flush draw on one side.

[kookoon]

Best hand is AKQJ suited.

[serratop]

@kookoon You are sooo wrong, you can use only 2 of them, learn before you talk crap

[91Holdem]

idiot ur ment to get 5 cards not 4 and a royal flush is best we all no that and u can draw!!

[kookoon]

omg AAAA is best

[MediocreAussie]

@kookoon no it isnt, idiot

[hdhsdgh]

@kookoon its not because you only use 2 of the cards, so holding 4 means theres no chance of making a trips, quads or a house, plus you are much less likely to get a straight or flush.

[jakep42zer0]

@kookoon ........no

[LClanSpring]

these vids with the black on them are shit, and i assume anyone having a vid of such crap quality doesnt know shit about what they are talking about

[donmajikjuan]

i thought omaha was 5 cards in a starting hand....wtf

[blajanell]

@donmajikjuan you can play with 4 cards or with 5 cards

[WILLIAMCHANEL]

Uhhhhh, I would rather have the double suited wrap than 10-10-J-J double suited all day any day. I am not sure where 10-10-J-J ranks in the starting hands lineup, but it's not that high, I suspect. I hope a lot of donks who watch this crap play in my game really soon....

[UndercoverLdn]

@WILLIAMCHANEL

Who would dare to play you.... do you actually have friends who play poker with you? I mean it's obvious from your comment that you're a pro so I don't see why someone would play against you..

[WaxaCizek]

i had one time QQQQ

And on the flop was 2 9 2 J 2 and won with fullhouse.

[manfiii]

noobvideo?! ... is the same when you tell me that AA is a good pre flop hand in texas hold'em

[esrobis]

i feel like a pro now

[staphinfection]

You're so wrong man... OMAHA is usually played as OMAHA HIGH LOW, or OMAHA 8, in which the best starting hand is AA23 double suited.

[staphinfection]

AA 2 3 double suited.

[TheRockyRakete]

Expertvillage..I dont think I have to tell you more. What a suprise, AK AK suited is the best hand?!?! Your are kidding, aren't you... always thought 2 6 K 10 all offsuite would be the best hand...

[Eletimmy]

what about lucky AAAA?

[2freet]

are you serious?

[yalg22]

@Eletimmy if you're dealt AAAA you cant improve so fold.

[seige184]

I'm going to Vegas with my life savings now

[Dadge42]

wow im going pro now thanks expertvillage!

[deanarooney]

what a load of old shit

[stisan89]

well, that was obvious

[maff8307]

yea four cards in a row is the way to go,.. he loves his suited aces,...

[vitrael]

This is painfully bad information. JJTT? What? What the hell? The only reason you would want to play a hand with a JT in it is to draw towards a straight, in which case hands like 8 9 T J would be infinitely more useful.

[fugrammer]

JJTT is the 29th best starting hand in omaha.

[vitrael]

@fugrammer According to who? If you get JJTT double suited you have a 1/4 chance of flopping a set and that's really its only strength. If you flop a set you are still boned in a cash game at the hands of straights and flushes unless you play it aggressively and no one chases.

[bizkit4eva]

reduced deck is the only way!!!!!!! a flush beats a full house can get pretty sic lol

[checkfoldcallraise]

i like 6, 7, 9, 10 and 7, 8, J, 10 double suited. i've moved mountains with those.

[AleatorInfestus]

is 89TJds a good hand?

[blahblah5492]

Yes. 6789 ds is a favorite omaha hand of many pros idk why they didn't talk about it.

[got2be4hell2]

So basicly anything double suited with connections, and best with at least a pair in the hand.

[lopikgdjh]

AKAQ double suited I would argue is a better starting hand. Obviously it isn't actually stronger starting off, but it has more potential, as Omaha is hugely a drawing game I would prefer this hand.

[Parakaslt]

AAKK vs 2222

is 100,00% vs 0%

[firebornx]

wow u should be a pro

[staphinfection]

@Parakaslt yeah, anytime you're dealt trips or quads in your hole cards, you want to murder someone. it sucks.

[IIOverkill]

@Parakaslt the board could be 3 4 5 6 or A 3 4 5... it's not a 0%

[jackplaysdarts]

@IIOverkill you can only use 3 community cards, not 4. so it is 100% to 0%.

[judojoe07]

@Parakaslt really?

What if Ad 3d 4d 5d comes down?

[drgnslyr1962]

@judojoe07 you have to use 2 of you hole cards

[judojoe07]

@drgnslyr1962 lol i know but say you have the 2 of diamonds and Ad 3d 4d 5d comes down? straight flush, you win.

[drgnslyr1962]

@judojoe07 if Ad 3d 4d 5d comes down all you have is a pair of twos, because you can only use 3 of the community cards.

[judojoe07]

@drgnslyr1962 ooooooooooooooh my bad, completely forgot about that. sorry

[drgnslyr1962]

@judojoe07 no worries mate. :-)

[gabeuop79]

@Parakaslt - - I don't know much about poker, but if there's a straight on the board, doesn't that mean a chopped pot? Or do you HAVE to play two hole cards in Omaha?  Trying to learn...

[dragonblood12]

@gabeuop79 in omaha you HAVE to play 2 hole cards. Doesnt matter whats on the board. 2 cards in your hand MUST make your hand. In hold'em a straight on the board doesn't necessarily mean a split pot. if the board is 9, 10, J, Q, K... Both players would have a straight, this is true. But if one plays has A in their hand, they would take the pot with an Ace high straight.

[payman2543]

@Parakaslt

AAKK vs QQQQ still 100 vs 0

;-)

[RAKIMALLAH12]

@payman2543 8910J????

[AambeiXXL]

@payman2543 why would 2 pair win from quads?

[RAKIMALLAH12]

@Parakaslt No it isn't idiot, what if the board comes 3456J

[MrPoooooooow]

@RAKIMALLAH12 it is impossible to hit a straight or flush with quads in your hand he has no suit or connectivity so he is drawing dead only 3 community cards can be used in omaha!!!

[RAKIMALLAH12]

@MrPoooooooow Your wrong

[pokeriotevas]

@RAKIMALLAH12 No, you're wrong. Having quads as a starting hand is the worst thing. 2-2-2-2 drawing dead preflop against any other hand that has pair in it, and also has very slim chance against the hand like 3-4-8-K. With quads as a starting hand you only have one pair and will have it till the river.

[Iizardkingz]

@RAKIMALLAH12 We are all wrong and you are correct! learn to play please

[MrPoooooooow]

@RAKIMALLAH12 do you see where you went wrong now! have you learned anything about omaha in the past few months???

[valuero]

@Parakaslt what a donk , isn't 100% vs 0% , coz if it's down 3 4 5 6 J , the "2 2 2 2 " won with a straight

[benjspurs]

@valuero what a donk, you have 2 use 2 of your own cards in omaha...your hand would be 22J65...so yes it is 100%

[dragonblood12]

@benjspurs yeah your right, since u have to use 2 cards, theres no straight draw, no flush draw, no trips or quads, no matter the board AA wins. any pair higher then 2 is 100% against 2222

[rubane]

@valuero maroon fail

[djsinya]

@Parakaslt not with a straight on the board or a flush on the board..

[stealapenguin]

AAKK is the best staring hand if your just playing high hand. If your playing Hi/Lo, AAK2 double suited is the best hand

[codymitchell75839]

A good hand, but AA23 is obviously superior to AAK2 in O8.

[rafonzo]

I prefere A2sA3s for Hi/Lo

[Partizan1379]

who doesnt? but sometimes if you play texas holdem you prefere aces offsuit. right?

[minhtam2448]

actually no, the best hand in hi-lo is AA23 double suited.

[donwilson]

Which is why hi/lo sucks

[minhtam2448]

hi/lo is awesome. it just sucks that it's actually harder to play.

[vedder06]

OF course AA KK Double suited is the BEST starting hand....post flop is a different story If you cannot fold aces, do no play PLO....10J98??? LOL....ok buddy...

[johndeerishere]

I would say TJ98 is a much better drawing hand then AAKK double suited and if you have some of the suits that your opponent needs to make his flush that helps block him. If I were short stacked however I would fold this preflop to raise and reraise preflop though. I would call one pot sized raise with it. It is a great hand to see the flop with, but not too expensively.

[2facedjames]

best starting hand in omaha is j1098ds not AAKK thats far from the best starting hand

[wtfwtfwtfwhy]

There are ZERO good hands and ZERO bad hands in the game of PLO preflop. There are just good and bad post flop players.

[Exodus199999]

No, you idiot, you dont even know how to play Omaha do you?

2222, so that is not a bad starting hand?

[wtfwtfwtfwhy]

trips and quads are obvious exceptions...that I assumed any poker player would already know...however you obviously aren't one of them...if you'd ever like to play me heads up for any amount of money i'd be glad to.

[SSky06]

The best hands are AAJTds, AAKKds, and so on. QQJJds is not really that great of a hand compared to hands that have one Nut flush draw and more cards to flop a wrap with lke A456ds, imho. QQJJds will get you in more trouble when you make flushes. You're almost rather flop a set and try to hold up.

[rannu97]

Play hold'em u retards !

[eur0playa89]

dude this guy is teachin all u retards what good cards are .

[mastahlone]

yah but its hard to get these hands in omaha

[bigcraigie81]

Straights and flushes are much easier to make. Quad A's starting hand shouldn't be folded purely for the probablity of someone else hitting a straight flush which is the only hand that could beat you.

[Robstrike]

Quad A's starting hand would immediatly rule out you actually making quads. you can only use 2 cards, remember. if u get quads, or even a set as starting hand, its not helpful, cos the chances of significantly improving ur hand are small.

[tntnijmegen]

dude, in Omaha you can only use 2 of your 4 cards

[bjornar83]

Isn't AAJT double suited the best starting hand?I don't play omaha, but i know that straights and flushes are much more important in omaha, compared to hold em.

[5B0YAKASHA5]

what about four Aces?? Em I suppose to fold??

[MasterHiei]

Definitely fold that hand.

[jrocker3001]

whoever that gave a thumbs down on this dudes comment is a total fucktard. If u have all 4 freakin aces in your hand. the best you would get is a pair of pocket aces, maybe a full house if your really lucky.

[GRANGSTASH]

dud calm the fuk down theyre prob begginers r u phil ivey or sumthin

[GRANGSTASH]

yes yes u are

[Ace2TheB]

Okay, but these specific hands are very rare. You should explain in a broader sense.

[johndeerishere]

I prefer JT98 double suited. When you make a straight with this hand it will always be the nuts, and you got flush blockers for nutflush draws.

[woutie]

always the nut straight???

what if the board comes KQJ92?

You'l have the king high straight while somebody with ATsomething 'll have the ace high (nut)straight ;)

[LosMos]

What about AAAA

[abluedeu]

One of the worst hands in Omaha....

[irateyourvideo2]

fold.

[Manlingo]

Is it suited? lol

[Erlingsaebo]

This vid. was a waste of time.. vid. for reatards

[johndeerishere]

This is good advice for a maybe 9 handed game, but for a six or less handed game, you can't wait for just premium hands. You sometimes in a six handed game on the button raise with KsJsQc2c. Obviously you have a danglar- the duece. But, you have to play more

liberally.

[IveGotTheNuts]

When U play cash games OMAHA I call every hand. I make more money off clowns with aces and kings than u can imagine. how many times I flooped nut straight or a set only to have some clown with aces go all in on th eflop while im hoilding the NUTS> IDiots. In omaha high its best to have the nuts when you bet and a draw. Like top set with flush draw. Or nut straight with bottom set. Or top two with nut flush draw. You must think what turn river can be and be ready for it.

[johndeerishere]

I agree that new Omaha players overplay aces and kings. I love when new Omaha player come over from playing hold'em.

[Wellness81]

Thanks for the great video. After repeated viewing and extensive studying of your tips my omaha game has improved dramatically. For years I had been folding all of the hands shown here. They are tough to recognize as quality hands and Im sure we all know....I advise taking this information seriously to all those who want to win at omaha poker....I vote this man a genius!

[IveGotTheNuts]

u fold those hands what did u pplay. Get real

[florisiznogood]

And this is interesting why?

[ro21ni]

omg only for idiots

[mikeland]

what about the AhAsKhQs...lol, or AhQhKsJs

[kidc2004]

i was dealt aakq double suited. i only had to fold 449 hands before i finally played one.
