Pot-Limit Omaha (PLO4)
Pot-Limit Omaha is the second most popular poker game in the world, and it plays very differently from Hold’em: four hole cards, you must use exactly two, and hands run much closer together. This course covers the rules, hand values, starting hands, drawing, and advanced PLO strategy.

Blockers in PLO: Bluffing With the Nut Blocker
Why blockers matter even more in Omaha: bluffing with the nut blocker, blocking straights and full houses, choosing bluff-catchers, and when blockers aren't enough. - 2
SPR and Commitment in PLO
