Mastering Six-Card Omaha: Top Strategies and Starting Hands

The strongest starting hand in six-card Omaha is the one that blocks the opponent from having aces. The hand with the highest equity against the top 10% of hands is 64%. The hand with the highest equity against the top 5% of hands is 60%. The hand with the highest equity against the top 2% of hands is 46%. The hand with the highest equity against weak aces is 57%.

The optimal 3-bet range without position will be much narrower in six-card Omaha than in classic Omaha. In six-card Omaha, the equity on the flop is not as strongly correlated with pre-flop equity as in 5 or 4 card Omaha. In six-card Omaha, you will rarely have a hand with 60% equity against an opponent with a 25% range.

In six-card Omaha, you will get a two-suited hand 79.5% of the time. In six-card Omaha, you will get a three-suited hand 9.3% of the time.
