Pot limit omaha is the fastest growing poker game. You can find it from all the major online poker sites and it is these days also frequently played at the big land based casinos. In some parts of the world such as Scandinavia it is in fact almost as popular as the texas holdem poker games. There are also several pot limit omaha poker tournaments in the World Series of Poker which takes place in Las Vegas each summer. Even thought the world champion pot limit omaha player is also crowned during the WSOP in our opinion he is quite rarely the best pot limit omaha player on earth at that moment. This is simply because of the massive variance associated with this fast paces and action packed game. However because people are quite often asking who are the best pot limit omaha players who decided to put together a small list of the people who in our opinion are those. This list is obviously extremely subjective and only shows my personal opinion – also because it is near to impossible to know how people do in live poker this list includes online people who also play significant amount of online poker.
Best pot limit omaha players online:
1) Patrik Antonius
Patrik Antonius is a Finnish poker player who these days resides in the sunny Monaco. Before moving to Monaco Patrik Antonius also played in the “big game” which takes place at the Bellagio casino hotel in Las Vegas. And based on what other players who play in that game such as Barry Greenstein said about him it is safe to assume that he also did quite well in the big game. However online poker is where Patrik Antonius really shines. He has been crushing the games at Full Tilt Poker online poker room under his real name and has won several million dollars playing the biggest pot limit omaha games against the other top players. One thing that sets Patrik apart from lot of other players is that he seems to be able to quit the moment that he feels like he isn’t playing his A game anymore. Patrik Antonius has also been playing the big games on the internet succesfully much longer than some of the “internet kids” such as theASHMAN103. For that and many other reasons Patrik Antonius is in my opinion the best pot limit omaha player in the world.
2) David Benyamine
The second place on this PLO top players goes to the French man who goes by the name David Benyamine. David just as Patrik has also been active player in the big games in Las Vegas and has supposedly done well in them as he still hasn’t had to go back to his home country and cane live the good life in Las Vegas instead. When it comes to online PLO David Benyamine truly is a beast he is often playing more than 5 games of $200/$400 PLO and bigger at the same time and seems to be able to do it successfully. This is backed by fact that he as well has won several million dollars playing PLO online at poker rooms such as FullTiltPoker and PokerStars.
3) Phil Ivey
Phil Ivey is arguable the best poker player on earth. However because he doesn’t play as much online poker as the first two people on this list it is how to say how good he actually is in PLO. However you don’t earn the reputation as the best poker player on earth without being good in pretty much in every game. And based on what little we have seen so far it seems like Phil Ivey might very well at some point take the number one spot on this list.
Besides these three top pot limit omaha players the list of the best players playing the PLO games includes for an example Cole South, OMGClayAiken, Urindanger Richard Ashby (also known as CHUFTY) and many others.
