Book Description

May 3, 2005 Championship
Omaha poker is fast becoming the game of choice for action players and a prestigious event at the World Series of Poker. Clearly-written strategies and powerful advice from Cloutier and McEvoy-who have won four World Series of Poker titles in Omaha tournaments-show players the rules of play, best starting hands, strategies for the flop, turn, and river, how to read the board for both high and low, dangerous draws, how to win at low-limit and high-stakes games, how to play against loose and tight opponents, and the differing strategies for re-buy and freeze-out tournaments. Players learn the best starting hands, when slowplaying a big hand is dangerous, what danglers are and why winners don't play them, why pot-limit Omaha is the only poker game where you sometimes fold the nuts on the flop and are correct in doing so, and overall, how to win a lot of money at the game!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent introduction to all forms of Omaha, September 28, 2005
This review is from: Championship Omaha (Paperback)
This book helped me understand the basic strategy behind Omaha, and was very useful in improving my play. One notable feature is it covers all forms of Omaha - High/Low 8 or better, High only, and pot-limit. Reading about the different variations inspired me to try Omaha High only instead of my usual game [Omaha High/Low 8 or better], and it turned out to be fun and a nice change of pace. The co-authors are both world champions and it shows in their advice and suggestions.

4.0 out of 5 stars Experienced players, this book will help refine your skills, December 19, 2006
By 
umd1998 (Pittsburgh, PA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Championship Omaha (Paperback)
This book is perfect for the experienced poker players who want to refine their skills. Not recommended for beginners.

Take it from multiple-pro-tournament winners T.J. Cloutier and Tom McEvoy: Starting hand selection and flop reading are the two most important skills to develop for becoming a good Omaha and Omaha Hi-Lo Eight-or-Better player.

They give you lots of example hands and flops, and explain what to avoid ("danglers") and what to seek out ("Acey-deucey").

A little jargony, but the detailed information as well as Cloutier's hilarious old-school stories make up for that.

It really helped me understand the various incarnations of Omaha and gave me a fighting chance against my buddies on poker night!

3.0 out of 5 stars Helpful for beginner and intermediate, September 7, 2005
By 
This review is from: Championship Omaha (Paperback)
Very good starting hand coverage and how to play afterward. The problem with the book is it's not very orginized. Lots of examples and why plays were made.

It's a good book for your poker library but should not be the ONLY book.
