Additional Omaha Resources
We hope that you’ve found our Omaha lessons to be informative and interesting, perhaps putting you firmly on the road to become a true Omaholic. If you’re serious about playing Omaha then your learning of the game should never stop. That’s why we’ll end this set of Omaha lessons with a rundown of additional resources, namely the best books on the subject.
Omaha High-Low, by Bill Boston
This book should help the reader to make smarter moves about which end of the pot to shoot for and what chances are to get the whole pot. Boston examines the 49 best hands and 49 worst hands and warns of hands to avoid; describes 30 ace less hands you can play for profit. Buy from Amazon.co.uk
Farha on Omaha, by Sam Farha
Farha, considered one of the Omaha greats along with Storm Reback, a poker writer, offer simple strategic tips that will help beginners improve their game. This work covers Omaha-limit, eight or better and pot limit in cash games as well as tournaments. Buy from Amazon.co.uk
High-Low Split Poker, by Ray Zee
This book covers both seven card stud high low split as well as Omaha. This book was first published in 1994 and many newer works have been published since but it is still a valuable addition to any poker library. Buy from Amazon.co.uk
How to Win at Omaha High-Low Poker, by Mike Cappelletti
Cappelletti, a long time contributor to Card Player Magazine, is a well respected Omaha player and demonstrates why in this book. It has eleven major chapters covering everything from basic strategy to the author’s point count system. Buy from Amazon.co.uk
Omaha Poker, by Bob Ciaffone
The main focus of this work by an Omaha World Series of Poker champion is on high, but Ciaffone does touch on the split pot high-low version. Buy from Amazon.co.uk
Secrets of Professional Pot Limit Omaha, by Rolf Slotboom
Topics include proper bet sizing and exploiting your opponents specific weaknesses. Slotboom spends considerable time over viewing practice hands as well as hand match ups with both theoretical and practical advice. Buy from Amazon.co.uk
Super System 2, Chapters by Bobby Baldwin and Lyle Berman
Doyle Brunson’s 672 page sequel to his original Bible has two chapters on Omaha – straight high and split pot. Baldwin’s split pot chapter was written with the help of Mark Gregorich and covers everything one needs in order to gain a solid footing in this game. Berman’s chapter on straight high Omaha covers the subject from a pot limit standpoint. Buy from Amazon.co.uk
Don’t forget that playing experience will teach you more than reading any books. If you want to be a good player then you need to put in the hours. Omaha is a popular game, but it can still be hard to find a decent game on some of the smaller online poker sites. That’s why we recommend either Poker Stars or Full Tilt Poker (click links for our reviews) for playing Omaha, since they both have huge player bases and have plenty of Omaha games to choose from. Good luck at the tables!
