Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO) is one of the most exciting poker variants: big hands come more often, pots grow fast, and inexperienced players make the same mistakes repeatedly. This makes it a potentially very profitable game. Most errors happen preflop, so think of your starting hand selection as building the foundation of your house - get it wrong, and your bankroll can crumble.
Here are five common PLO mistakes to watch for:
- Playing too many unconnected or low cards
Not all four-card hands are created equal. Focus on hands that are connected and/or draw to the nuts. Hands that look strong in Hold’em can get you in trouble in PLO. - Over-valuing small pairs and low rundowns
Sets and low straights are often dominated. Don’t overcommit with low-value holdings; they rarely win at showdown. - Slow-playing too frequently
Unlike Hold’em, slow-playing in multi-way PLO pots is dangerous. Betting to protect your hand or extract value is usually the safer choice. - Playing out of position
Position matters even more in PLO. Avoid limping or calling raises from early position; leverage your position to control the pot and make better decisions. - Playing short-stacked
PLO grows pots fast. Short stacks limit your ability to bluff or maximize value. Stick to micro-stakes while learning the ropes if you’re new.
