Pot Limit Omaha Starting Hands

In PLO there are a total of 16,432 different starting hands, made up of all the possibilities that result from the 270,725 stochastically possible combinations. So how do you decide what starting hands to play and what not to play. This is also the reason why there is no clear cut starting hand chart for PLO unlike its popular cousin Texas Hold’em. We at adda52 have tried our best to compile some of the top hands that are playable from all positions.

The top 30 Omaha starting hands are as follows:

Poker Strategy: What Are Possible Styles of Play? 3 weeks ago Ryan Knuppel. You know that a game is complex if players can have their own “styles of play.” These styles are what makes poker exciting but difficult, as we need to learn. Starting Hands Styles. Starting hands probability. Of the 1,326 combinations, there are 169 distinct starting hands grouped into three shapes: 13 pocket pairs (paired hole cards), 13 × 12 ÷ 2 = 78 suited hands and 78 unsuited hands; 13 + 78 + 78 = 169. The relative probability of being dealt a hand of each given shape is different.

NL Hold’em Starting Hand Charts One aspect of the game of No-Limit Hold’em that causes beginning players much grief is deciding which hands to play and which hands to dump. NL Hold’em is much more difficult than Limit Hold’em because the value of a hand depends on so many factors other than just the cards in your hand.

If you're looking for another strategy-based poker podcast to add to your listening rotation, let me recommend one to you. You might have heard about it — 'The Grid' hosted by Jennifer Shahade.

'The Grid' takes a unique approach to discussing no-limit hold'em strategy, with Shahade inviting a different guest each episode with a plan to devote one show each to every starting hand. As Shahade explains in the show's intro, 'The Grid' presents 'a 13 by 13 episode journey through every possible no-limit hold'em hand, 169 hands in total, from aces to seven-deuce offsuit.'

As you know, in hold'em you can be dealt 13 pocket pairs, 78 unpaired suited hands, and 78 unpaired offsuit hands — thus a total of 169 different starting hands (not taking the different suits into account).

Each episode of the podcast involves a guest sharing and analyzing a no-limit hold'em hand he or she played, with Shahade's goal being ultimately to produce one episode each for the 169 distinct hands. The shows are all around a half-hour long, beginning with the hand histories and analyses and then usually ending with the guests sharing other stories or anecdotes about themselves — often (but not always) poker-related.

Shahade, of course, is a two-time U.S. Women's Chess Champion and Woman Grandmaster, which means the 8-by-8 grid that makes up a chessboard has long been a focal point of her study of that game.

Meanwhile the idea of 'the grid' of starting hands is a somewhat recent development in poker, having gained more prominence as players have begun using tools that employ such a grid to display starting hands on a computer screen. For example..

Shahade is so far just 10 episodes into her 169-episode journey, but already the show has proven both entertaining and enlightening as guests discuss hands in which they've gone to battle not just with A-A or A-J suited, but J-2 suited and T-5 offsuit.

The self-imposed requirement not to repeat any of the starting hands already ensures a lot of variety when it comes to the hand analyses, such as when players are forced to play hands from the bottom of the grid that often don't get a lot of attention since the usual recommendation is not to play them at all.

But the variety of guests means listeners are exposed to a lot of different strategic approaches as well. Take a look at the 10 guests (and hands) that have been featured so far on the show:
