Omaha poker has lot of similarities with Texas Holdem poker. In Holdem poker you have two player's card and five community card. In Omaha poker you have four player's card and five community card.

Welcome to the fifth in my Texas Holdem Poker Strategy Series, focusing on no limit Texas Holdem poker tournament play and associated strategies. In this article, we’ll examine starting hand decisions. It may seem obvious, but deciding which starting hands to play, and which ones to skip playing, is one of the most important Texas Holdem poker decisions you'll make. Deciding which starting hands to play begins by accounting for several factors: * Starting Hand "groups" (Sklansky made some good suggestions in his classic "Theory of Poker" book by David Sklansky) * Your table position * Number of players at the table * Chip position Sklansky originally proposed some Texas Holdem poker starting hand groups, which turned out to be very useful as general guidelines. Below ...

Since luck does play into poker, we should all expect losing sessions and they sometimes seem to string into losing weeks or months. So what are we to do? I certainly wish we didn't have to suffer these prolonged periods of losses, but we must face reality. One problem poker players encounter is that swings in luck can alter your perspective. Lucky swings can make you think you're better than you are, while unlucky swings can make you start questioning yourself. When we change the way we play it can have disastrous results for our bankroll and a downward spiral begins. We may lose confidence and become too passive or we may become overly ...

Collusion can occur in both online and offline poker. Back when I was just a newbie starting out (and didn't give two hoots about poker), we used to play in free tournaments at local bars. A couple of us would sit next to each other at the one table, and would use a bumping system; not the most subtle system, but effective nonetheless. One bump = I'm got a big hand, two bumps = I've got big pockets. The other person would bump back in a similar sense if they had a strong hand as well, and then we'd still raise to isolate our field and typically one of us would take the pot down. I still occasionally go down to ...

You may have noticed that while using your poker calculator it displays your hand odds while also using terminology like “hand rank”, “group”, or “group rank” all of which in some way or another refer to author David Sklansky’s Group Hand ranking for hold’em poker. Originally described in the classic book, "Hold'em Poker for Advanced Players", Sklansky rated all the starting hands and put them in groups according to their similar win rate. By clustering hands based on win rate and strength, it’s easier to keep track of basic betting strategies associated with each individual hand. For example, in Sklansky Group 3 hands you will find 99, AQ, ATs, and JTs among others. The ...

Discipline is one of the key ingredients of poker success. In fact, discipline or more accurately, self-discipline is the cornerstone of success in almost any of life's pursuits. Have you ever heard of a successful, but undisciplined individual in any of these fields: stock market investing, professional gambling, or professional athletics? The answer, of course, is no. And furthermore, you never will. Almost any form of personal accomplishment requires self-discipline, especially professional accomplishment. The higher you aspire, the higher the level of required discipline. I often refer to discipline as a virtue. Indeed, it seems that many are blessed with perfect discipline at birth. And there are some, who throughout their lives never seem to have a ...
