While I dont believe a loose omaha poker player can get away with this as much, I believe that a solid, tight/aggressive poker player would have the ability to play small 4 hands and be quite profitable with these. 

When a PLO poker player has a tight image at the table, other players presume that he/she is playing high cards in a range of top 20.  So, when a poker player is in a hand with a TAG player, and a low board hits, they will generally throw in a pot bet, assuming that the TAG player would have none of that board.

This is where a tight aggressive poker player has an opportunity to profit large in pot limit omaha.  Playing hands such as 2345 or 4556 etc. will allow you to make a larger sum than a high board with a high hand – as players are less likely to believe you!

If you are choosing to play micro or low stakes cash games, be sure to to remember something VERY important.  There is no need for tricky poker skills here!  Generally micro to low stakes poker players don’t really have a clue, so playing tricks really isnt going to get you far.  Play a typical tight aggressive game, ABC poker, and you will be fine!

I see this happen often with players who have been paying too much attention to the professional poker players around.  Being aggressive, means you must be SELECTIVE in your aggression.  Raising in the cutoff just because its folded to you – is not a smart move in the early stages of a poker tournament.  Play tight, protect your chips, play aggressive when you have hands in all positions, and wait for the opportunity to take advantage of your opponents.

If you are at a table that seems to be passive, or not alot of action – be the action man (or woman)!  Either players are going to fold and you will make money off the blinds – OR – you will get some action on the table and you will be seen as being too aggressive/unpredictable.  Then you will get paid off when you need to be!

I think a lot of new players in poker make the mistake of using aggression when it’s just not necessary.  Its easy to fall into this trap when watching players like Brian Townsend 3 bet with 6 high, but the reality is:

1.  He is playing 100/200 NL Plus!
2. He is a master of online poker
3. He knows how to fold when his instincts tell him to

Dont try to be Brian!  Learn your own game, get yourself comfortable.  Play ABC poker and then make your moves when you feel they are right.  Get paid on your hands by using aggression and be passive when you need to!  Poker is a multi-faceted game – aggression only is not going to make you a winning player.
