Here are some useful tips that will help you to be a better Omaha poker player:

As the board develops, ensure you are always aware of what the three best possible hands are and how that can change in an instant on the next card.

While a high pair with an overcard may be a good flop in Hold’em, it is not in Omaha, where you need at least two pair, a set, or better to stand a good chance of winning a hand.

In most cases you should avoid raising before the flop, unless you hold Aces or Kings and are in a good position to narrow down the field.

Raise when you are unraised on the button and you hold a strong hand.

It’s best to fold a straight or straight draw if you don't flop an unpaired rainbow and that's all you have. If you get the right flop, then you should bet/raise in an attempt to discourage any back door flush draws.

Never over-value low pairs. If your starting hand is a pair of fives, it’s only useful if it flops a set. Even then, a low set on the flop is still a weak hand in Omaha.

Study your opponents carefully. When you are not playing hands you can pay extra careful attention. Look for things like: Do they bluff at all? Do they look like they can be bluffed? Do they play more hand than they fold? Do they have certain give-away mannerisms that might reveal information about what‘s in their hands?

Throw your opponents off the scent by getting caught bluffing every now and again. It is useful to not be too predictable. You can end up winning pots that you wouldn’t have otherwise with a successful bluff. You might lose a few chips when it fails but by doing that it will result in calls from weaker hands later in the games, especially when you are really strong.

Study the raiser’s chips. Usually, players that are close to all-in will rush the betting in order to get all their chips in a last ditch attempt at their last hand even if it does not merit a raise.
