JNandez87 teaches how to call raises in Pot-Limit Omaha, focusing on rake structure, positional play, and the impact of 3-bets and squeezes. To call under a raise, you must be in a free position and not on the blind.
On GG Poker, the rake is 11.5 bb/100, while on PokerStars it is 0.6 bb/100. On low limits of GG Poker, folding is recommended due to the loss of 0.04 bb or 4 bb/100. On high limits of PokerStars, calling is a profitable move, winning 0.17 bb per hand.
On PL50 GG, a player on the button can profitably call with 10% of hands, while on PL5k PokerStars, this increases to 20%. The frequency of 3-bets is higher in high-rake environments, with 8.7% on GG Poker and 7.5% on PokerStars. On high limits, a two-suited connector with two gaps above wins 8 bb/100, while on low limits, it loses 3 bb/100. A two-suited connector with one gap below wins 58 bb/100 on high limits and 35 bb/100 on low limits. A 3-bet wins 49 bb/100 on high limits, while a call wins 31 bb/100. A two-suited hand with an ace but weak structure loses 15 bb/100 on low limits and wins 1 bb/100 on high limits.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
