Before I tell you the tips to control the pot in Omaha you should know what this means. In pot limit Omaha you can bet whatever is in the pot at anytime so it’s important to keep the size of the pot under control. If you don’t keep the size of the pot under control then it can become too big and you could easily be bluffed out of hands you could have won. A lot of players in pot limit Omaha will sit at the tables with a big bankroll and bet big amounts in pots they think they can bluff at. If you don’t have the nuts then it can be difficult to make a call for $100, but if you controlled the size of the pot throughout the hand you might need to only call $50 on the river.

Before the flop there is absolutely no reason to raise the pot no matter what your cards are because any hand is good before the flop. With each player having four cards there are tons of combinations that players could have before the flop and you don’t want to raise the pot until you see what comes. Once the flop comes you will need to see how good your hand is now. If you have a good hand then you might want to take the pot down now by betting, but if you don’t win the pot now you need to watch out for draws. If you have a draw after the flop then you want to keep the pot as small as possible, so either check the pot or just flat call any bets made out by other players. In some poker games you might build the pot up a bit with a draw, but with so many possible hands in Omaha you need to wait to see if you have near the nuts or the nuts.

If you hit a monster hand while playing online poker on the flop in Omaha and someone bets into you then you might want to just flat call until you get to the river. Since many players are prone to call anything in this game you don’t want to come over the top and be re-raised or called. You also don’t want to invest many chips with the nuts on the flop because it could easily change on the turn or river. For instance, if you have a straight after the flop your opponent could have a flush by the turn or river. Typically if your opponent is on a flush draw you wouldn’t be able to get them to fold anyways so you would lose less by controlling the pot.
