Mastering Pot Limit Omaha with Dylan Weissman: Pre-flop Strategy and Hand Selection

👑The nuttiness of a hand, or how likely it is to be the nuts by the river, is a crucial factor in hand selection.

🃏Connectedness refers to how closely the cards in a hand work together. Smooth rundowns without gaps are more valuable in earlier positions.

🌈The suitedness of a hand affects its post-flop potential. Suited hands have better flush and straight possibilities.

🔝High pair power, especially in deep-stacked games, adds value to hands and makes them more likely to be the best hand by the river.

🌐Pre-flop strategy should be adjusted based on position and stack depth. Early positions require stronger hands, while later positions can open up to more speculative hands.
