Omaha is a fun but tricky game. What strategies work best for you? For me, play tight aggressive early like in Texas Hold'em. Raise with strong starting hands . Call more to see flop. On flop, check-raise a lot with strong made hands or draws. Turn and river, bet big when you hit to get value from worse hands. These tactics helped me win more pots, what do you think? Any more tips to improve my Omaha game?

Your strategy for playing tight aggressive pre-flop and then playing aggressively on the flop with made hands or draws is a great foundation for winning at Omaha poker. Here are some additional tips to consider:

1. Play hands with connected cards: In Omaha, it's important to have hands with connected cards, like a run of 9-8-7-6. These types of hands give you more straight and flush possibilities, which can be very valuable.

2. Look for suited aces: Suited aces like A-K-Q-J can be great hands in Omaha. They give you a chance to hit a nut flush and can also make strong two-pair hands if the board pairs with your high card.

3. Avoid weak hands: Don't fall into the trap of playing too many hands just because you have four cards. You want to have a strong hand that has the potential to win the pot.

4. Be aware of the board texture: In Omaha, the texture of the board is very important. If the board is suited or connected, it's more likely that someone has a strong hand. Be aware of the potential hands your opponents could have.

5. Pay attention to your position: As in Texas Hold'em, your position in Omaha is important. You have more information when you act later in the hand, so try to play more hands from later positions.

By implementing these strategies and being aware of the board texture and your opponents' tendencies, you can improve your Omaha game and increase your chances of winning. Good luck at the tables!
