With draws being so key to Omaha, it's critical that you don't let other players make draws cheaply or for free. If you have top trips or the nut flush, make sure you make pot-sized bets and re-raises where you can.

This applies to both the flop and especially to the turn, where you can really make other players pay just to see the remaining card. Pot-limit games also benefit you here, as the pot will be at least three times the size by the turn (if you make a max raise followed by a call). Don't lose your bottle if you still hold the nuts on the turn, as it's always painful to see the board pair when you're holding the nuts or see a potential flush made when you're holding trips. In short, bet your hands as hard and aggressively as your opponent will allow.

My advice is never to slow-play a hand, except when you have an absolute monster. Monsters include quads (where you hope someone else will make the nut full house by waiting) or a straight or royal flushes.

The only other situation where you don't want to overbet your hand is with a nut straight and no chance of improving. As a rule of thumb, two out of three straights will be overturned in an internet game of Omaha. For instance, you hold J♠-10♠-4♣-3♦ and the flop is 7♣, 8♣, 9♥. You currently have the nuts so make an early-position pot raise. Another player raises and then a further player re-raises! You have the nuts! However, there's every chance another player does, too, but has a hand that could improve – for example, 10♥-J♥-A♣-Q♣. They have the upside of the straight and a nut flush draw; or perhaps J♥-J♣-10♣- 10♥. They have a full-house draw and a mid-flush draw.

Either way, you want to get out of the hand. Even if your straight does hold up, you'll probably end up sharing the pot anyway. Painful as it may seem, with two other players in the pot, this is one nut-hand you should choose to fold as you simply can't improve.
