About Pot Limit Omaha Poker

In Pot Limit Omaha, know as PLO, each player is dealt four hole cards, which are dealt face down.

You have to use exactly two of them along with three from the five community cards to make your best five-card hand.

With four cards dealt to each player pre-flop, the game offers a unique strategy compared to No Limit Hold’em. Players have more possible combinations of hands to choose from. This can make the game more complex and strategic, as players must consider all of the possible combinations they can make with their four hole cards and the five community cards.

How to Play

The first four cards you get are your hole cards, and they're face-down so only you can see them. At the start, the small and big blinds are put in. Then, you can either fold, call the big blind or raise if you think you've got a good hand — or want others to think you do.
After the first round of betting, the dealer puts three cards face-up on the table. Anyone still in the hand can use these cards to help make their best five-card hand. The next round of betting starts with the player sitting closest to the dealer's left.
After the first three cards are shown, the dealer puts another card face-up on the table. This happens after everyone has had a chance to either check, call or raise the current bet on the flop.
After the turn, the dealer puts the last card face-up on the table. This is the river. Then the final round of checking or betting starts.

Two Ways to Win

Showdown

Players continue to check or bet through the flop, turn, and river rounds. After the last betting round on the river is done, everyone reveals their hands. The winner is determined using No Limit Hold'Em hand rankings, which you'll find listed below.

Out-Betting Your Opponents

You can win the pot without a showdown by betting or raising in a way that makes everyone else fold. This strategy is called 'out-betting' and can work whether you have a strong hand or are bluffing. With a strong hand, you're encouraging calls from weaker hands. When bluffing, you're making others think you have a strong hand, even when you don't.
