Championship Omaha

Omaha is rising a lot in popularity. Good Omaha players can benefit a lot from the recent influx of Hold Em players. Most general poker books have a chapter or two on Omaha but this book in particular will really help you improve your Omaha skills, be it Limit, PLO or Hi-Lo. It will show you how to defeat weak Hold Em players who overplay their aces and by proving hom important the old saying is: Tight is Right, Tighter is Better. This is not a book for the beginning poker player but those who have played for a few years and want to learn to play at a higher level will benefit from this book, I can definately recommend it.

Made my game!

I've been playing poker for sixty years but had never played Omaha. After reading this book I went online (Ultimate Bet)and was amazed. If you like Omaha online buy this book!

Will improve your omaha gave for sure

The ideas are good and clear. Will improve your Omaha game. Highly recommended.

Experienced players, this book will help refine your skills

This book is perfect for the experienced poker players who want to refine their skills. Not recommended for beginners. Take it from multiple-pro-tournament winners T.J. Cloutier and Tom McEvoy: Starting hand selection and flop reading are the two most important skills to develop for becoming a good Omaha and Omaha Hi-Lo Eight-or-Better player. They give you lots of example hands and flops, and explain what to avoid ("danglers") and what to seek out ("Acey-deucey"). A little jargony, but the detailed information as well as Cloutier's hilarious old-school stories make up for that. It really helped me understand the various incarnations of Omaha and gave me a fighting chance against my buddies on poker night!

Excellent introduction to all forms of Omaha

This book helped me understand the basic strategy behind Omaha, and was very useful in improving my play. One notable feature is it covers all forms of Omaha - High/Low 8 or better, High only, and pot-limit. Reading about the different variations inspired me to try Omaha High only instead of my usual game [Omaha High/Low 8 or better], and it turned out to be fun and a nice change of pace. The co-authors are both world champions and it shows in their advice and suggestions.
