Best headsup pot limit omaha strategy tips for low stakes games:

 

(All the following tips assume that you have at least little experience with the game and know the rules.)

 

1: Only play against weaker opponents if you are serious about winning money. This is the most important advice in every poker game, as poker game is a skill game the only way to win in it over the long term is to play against people who have lesser poker skills then you do.

 

2: Never have more than 5% of your bankroll in one table. Everyone has cold streaks in poker. The important thing is to never let your bankroll get hurt too badly. Even the 5% rule is slightly aggressive and lot of pros for an example never keep more than 1% of their bankroll in one table.

 

3: Take notes of your opponents. Most of the people who you play against at the small stakes games do not keep notes about the way you play and thus the next time they sit down in your table they have no clue about your style, leaks and strengths. Thus you gain significant advantage over them if you keep notes about the way they play and what are their leaks that you can take advantage of.

 

4: Review your hands after each session. If you know before hand that you have time to put in a 1 hour poker session I suggest that you use of that 1 hour 50 minutes for actually playing poker and after those 50 minutes you use 10 minutes for going over all the big hands you played and see if you could have played them in some better way.

 

5: Don’t be afraid of being aggressive. In headsup pot limit omaha poker you must be aggressive to win money. That might sound like a bold statement, but the truth is that if you are not able to push your opponents out of their better hands at the right times and be able to bet your thin hands for value aggressive you will have very hard time at making money in this poker game over the long term.
