The Flop

After selecting a solid starting hand to play, the flop becomes the most important decision one makes in Omaha H/L 8
poker. While to most of you this is self-evident, it's surprising how many players ignore coordinating the flop with their starting hands. It seems like hope springs eternal in this game. From this point, for some, the chase is on! Mucking a great starting hand is impossible, and the hopeful cling to the missed flop in disbelief. They leak their chips, and scratch their bewildered heads as they wonder why their stacks have disappeared so rapidly. After all, they began with a great 4, 5, or even a 6-way hand, so they attribute their demise to bad luck. In reality, poor decision-making creates their so-called bad luck. The next time you begin with a strong starting hand, followed by a missed, uncoordinated flop, muck that trash! You'll be glad you did, and your bankroll will thank you. Remember that Omaha H/L8 is a nut game, and the prize usually goes to the patient players. Good decisions create good results.
