The problem with playing Holdem cash games is there is an insane amount of literature and sources available to poker players on that subject. While you can find the right game, for the most part you will be facing people that have an understanding of what they are doing and it can be tough to consistently have winning sessions. One thing you can do to expand your horizons and perhaps increase your bankroll is to consider playing other games. Omaha 8 or better is a great game to start out with because the vast majority of players do not understand the game. They either jump in blind and treat it like it is Holdem... overplaying hands they should not be playing in the first place... or they read one or two things on the game and think they know it all without realizing the various subtleties and nuances of the game.

There are two major differences between Holdem and Omaha 8. You still make the best five card hand but now you are dealt four cards rather than two and now there are two ways to win... you can make the best high hand or the best low hand. In order to qualify the low hand, you must have a five card hand with all of the cards lower than an 8. Unlike Holdem you cannot just play the board. You must use two cards from your hand, and only two. For example if the board is A-K-Q-J-T and you have 2-2-3-4, you do not have a straight... you have a pair of twos. If you have A-A-A-A in your hand, you do not have quad aces... you have a pair of aces. One important point to know is that if there is no qualifying low hand than there is only one pot awarded to the high hand.

That being said, it is important to understand the split pot concept. It provides multiple possibilities to win the pot. More importantly, it provides numerous ways for you to get outdrawn. Say for example, you have A-K-K-Q double suited... a strong starting hand for sure... and the flop comes K-5-2. In Holdem this would be a great flop. In Omaha, there are numerous ways for you to lose both
