No Limit Omaha Starting Hands

Picking the correct no limit Omaha starting hand is half the battle when it comes to learning solid no limit Omaha preflop strategy. There are so many fishy players who frequent the no limit Omaha tables now that the game has blown up who are playing such horrible hands it’s pathetic. You will crush them just in how much stronger your hand is than theirs alone by playing a strong tight starting hand range. Here are the top no limit Omaha starting hands ranked from strongest down. The stronger the hand you are playing the less room you allow for errors in your decision making.

In these hands there will be two variables, both “a” and “b”. The two cards that share a variable are of the same suit.

Top No Limit Omaha Starting Hands

  1. AaAbKaKb – This is the strongest hand in no limit Omaha. This hand has the ability to make the very highest full house possible. It has pocket As and pocket Ks which can both make highest set. It has two different flushes that it can make. On top of making these flushes they are the nut flushes that beat all other flushes (except rare straight flushes). The hand also has the AK combination which makes the highest straight possible. This hand gets most of its value by making the same type of hand as your opponent, but holding the better version. For example making a flush against your opponent with the A of each suit or making a straight against an opponent’s 9TJQK or 89TJQ where yours is again higher.
  2. AaAbJaTb – As you can see this hand is strong, but not quite as strong as our number 1 no limit Omaha starting hand. The hand can make top full house and has a great over pair with pocket As. The hand can make two separate flushes. Both of these flushes are the nut flush so when your opponent makes their hand as well you will have the better. This hand can make the top straight with open ended value, and also has great gut shot straight draw value. This is also the top straight so you would win when your opponent made a lesser straight.
  3. AaAbQaQb – Our third best hand has two high pocket pairs and can make the top full house as well as top over pair. The hand is suited in two different suits so it can make two separate flushes of the highest value. The hand also has the ability to make the top straight. This hand normally gets as much value as the other two, except it loses value when it’s a hand like your set of queens against their set of kings.
  4. AaAbJaJb – This hand has top over pair value, along with top full house. The hand can make two separate flushes and makes the nut flush in each respective suit.  It has can also make the top straight on the board. This is again a lesser version of our number one and number three hands and lacks in the situations where it is a set of jacks against sets of kings or queens.
  5. AaAbTaTb – This is again just like our other top hands. It has top overpair value, along with top full house value. The hand can make the nut flush in two separate suits. Again this hand lacks in the position where you make a set of tens and your opponent makes a set of jacks, queens, or kings.
