omaha 5 cards

[marbleman]

yes you read it right.

the majority of the private rooms in montreal (5/10nl and higher) run dealer choice games, and the most choosen game is omaha 5 cards (no limit and max 8way)

personally i try and stay away from this crapshooting for thosands of dollars and when the game is forced apon me i just play it very passively.

just interested if anybody has any similar experiences with this game? (i've heard rumours it's a greek game)

The game is called "courchevel" Here's a link with stuff by dude who played it.

[Mr. Peanut]

Actually in courchevel the first card of the flop is dealt before the rest of the flop, and then played the same as Omaha or Omaha-5.

The strategy for Omaha-5 is basically the same as Omaha with four cards, just look for well coordinated hands before the flop, and make sure you take into account all your back-door draws and possible redraws when you play.

they run 3/6 5-card omaha at Morongo Casino (the one where they had Poker Superstars). Its a lot of fun and easy to make money if you're a good limit 8/b player.
