Product Description
Bob Ciaffone
"This book is very accurate technically and a great addition to poker literature."
Lou Krieger
"Lucid, literate, and comprehensive. Dissects the complexities of this game and explains why big play strategy is the winning strategy."
Are You Ready for the Next Wave of Poker?
If you've never tried Pot-Limit Omaha, you're missing out on the most exciting, most lucrative cash game around. Omaha has long been one of the most popular forms of poker in Europe, as well as the Midwest and Southern United States. PLO is also the highest-stakes game in every cardroom in which the game is spread. And now it's spreading like wildfire throughout North America. The reason is simple: Omaha offers more action and bigger pots than Texas Hold'em. Isn't it time you got in on it?
Whether you're a cash-game professional or a recreational player -- and whether you play live or online -- this book will arm you with a winning big-play strategy that's easy to master even if you've never played Omaha before.
Key topics include:
- The Big Play Objectives
- The Power of the Big Draw
- Straight Draws and Starting Hand Construction
- Limit Omaha Hi/Lo and Pot-Limit Omaha Hi/Lo
Complete with practice situations and hand quizzes, this is the most comprehensive Omaha book available -- and the only one you'll ever need.

 Review: PLO - The Big Play Strategy October 12, 2008
Mark Kessell (New Zealand)
[...]
Most people that are keen on Texas Hold'em, have probably read a book or 3. and thats the main pre-requisite of this book.
the other, is to have an interest in Omaha Poker. The Game of Champions.
now i'm the type of person that gets bored very easily while reading. but i found this book to be very readable.
Jeff is very good at explaining both the basic and advanced concepts of Omaha Poker, in plain english. so that even a non-reader like me can understand it.
this is a book i'd recommend to anyone that is just starting out and playing micro limit PLO. as it gives you the strategies you'll need to be able to play the game at hte higher limits, given practice. :-)
a must get for all beginner PLO players.
great omaha book September 16, 2008
Zachary Hunziker
This book will teach you what you need to know to play any kind of omaha. It is a great PLO book, as well as a good book for Omaha/8. I saved enough money after reading 50 pages to pay for the book. A must read IMO.
If you only could buy one Omaha book, this is the one. September 7, 2008

2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have read several poker books on Omaha; Ken Warren's, Bob Ciaffone's, T.J. Cloutier's, and recently Rolf Slotboom's book. None of them helped me with Omaha the way this book did. Yes, there are a few typographical errors, but it certainly should not stop you from buying this book if you want to play Omaha. It's not just Omaha High, but the High Low section is excellent.
Jeff is systematic in his approach to each starting hand. The understanding of which drawing hands get you into trouble (i.e. your outs are not the nut outs)and which ones can turn into monsters is something the other books left out. Warren's book is very elementary but a good starting tool. Ciaffone's book is very thin, good information, but no examples. Rolf's book has an interesting style for short stack play, but once you double up his big stack play is not as clear as Jeff's. After I read T.J.'s book I thought no one should play a hand unless it was the Broadway wrap. This book is the only Omaha book you should buy.
This book is mainly for cash game play. There are a few examples from tournaments, but this book concentrates on the cash game arena. This book is a tremendous value for the price they charge.
 Good Introduction August 9, 2008
D. Peters (Dallas, Texas USA)
Good introduction to PLO. Basically teaches a tight preflop strategy where you get the money in postflop dominating an opponent. For example, you both may have the same straight draw, but you also have a flush draw.
Main weakness of the book is it doesn't talk much about postflop play with deep stacks.
Understanding Omaha July 17, 2008
kaimano (Italy)
Are you an Holdem player who want's to understand Omaha? Well, this book is for you. I was such a player and didn't understand Omaha. Now I understand it better and even if I don't play it very much it also improved mu understanding of Holdem. Buy this book and you won't regret.
