1. What is SOHE?
SOHE (Simultaneous Omaha and Hold’em) is a synthesis of
Omaha and Hold’em. Bank in this game is divided into two, and one half takes
the player with the best hand in Texas Hold’em, and the other - the player with
the best hand in Omaha. All participants receive a hand of six cards, and each
player divides their cards into two hands - two cards for Hold'em and Omaha for
four cards.
2. The most important
decision that you should take in the first place.
The main thing in SOHE - to draw up starting hands. Sometimes
this problem is simple: when picked up A ♥ A ♣
6 ♦ 7 ♦ 8 ♠
9 ♠ should put aces in Hold'em hand , and everything
else in the hand of Omaha. But there are hands harder. For example, a difficult
choice awaits you in obtaining a ♥ J ♣
10 ♦ 10 ♣ 3 ♥
3 ♦. You put your hand in dozens of Omaha and refuse
suited ace? Or hang ten in the hand of Hold'em and refuse additional chances
Street? Perhaps, the second option is preferable. If its tight play and few
people see the flop, then a dozen may be sufficient for victory.
3. Keep the card
separately.
After the distribution of cards, you will need to keep their
hands separately. Move cards from one hand to another is prohibited and if
anyone will mix cards after their distribution, then his hand will be declared dead.
4. Try to pick up
everything.
As in any game with a forked Bank, the goal is to pick up
both halves. Therefore, you should try to distribute the cards so as to either
get a monster on the flop, or quit the game.
5. But be prepared to
adapt.
Although you should try to pick up everything, in most cases
you will encounter several opponents on the flop. Board may be well suited to
one hand and did not approach the other. If in one hand you have the nuts, and
you're up against multiple opponents, then you need to raise rates.
6. Be prepared to
lose Street.
The problem in obtaining a straight, even nut consists in
the fact that at the end of dispensing it will often not the best hand. If
there are three suited cards on the table or the board paired, your street is
pretty weak, even on the side of Hold'em . You will find that many opponents
play out in Hold'em two cards of the same suit. So do not be surprised when the
enemy opens 9-3 suited and take half of the pot with a flush. If you hit the
nut straight, then it should play. But remember that you have to escape from
the ship, if the board will scare card.
7. Know when to fold.
Do not be fooled into thinking that you will get at least
half of the pot. If the game still remain two people and they both are aggressive,
there is a high probability that you are opposed to the nuts on both sides. If
you do not draw strong in both hands that can beat the best hand at the moment,
discard cards. If your only opponent shove, when you have two hands of medium strength,
we can assume that one of them will win. He probably got the nuts on the one hand,
but you may well pick up the other half of the pot.
8. Think about how to
look at the cards the board twice.
Think, PLO - a game with high variance? Wait, you just have
not played SOHE. You will have big swings. If you want to flatten them, think
about the delivery of the board cards twice or even three times, when you are
all-in with another player.
9. Eight or nine
hands per hour - this is normal.
SOHE - it slowly. Unbearably slow. But nothing helped. If
there is a game in which everyone wants to see the flop, it will take a lot of time.
10. You’ll either
love this game or hate it.
If you ABC player who sticks known patterns, then you
probably hate SOHE. If you like gambling and a lot of difficult situations in poker,
you'll love SOHE.
