Rules for Fixed Limit Omaha Poker

In a Fixed Limit game, both the bet and raise amounts for each round are a preset amount. For example, in a $5/$10 Fixed game, both the bets and raises for the first two rounds of betting must be $5, no more, no less. The last two rounds have a bet/raise amount of $10.

The Cap: In Fixed Limit games, each round of betting can consist of one bet and has a maximum number of three allowable raises, known as the cap. So, if a bet is made, that bet can only be raised three times, after which all players must call or fold. However, if only two players remain in the hand, the cap is increased to a maximum of five raises.

In Limit Omaha, selecting the right starting hands is even more important than in Pot Limit Omaha. Suited connectors are better hands than in pot limit because people cannot push you off a drawing hand where you are trying to make a flush or straight.
