Swimming With The Sharks: Get Set, Part One

Alright, you’ve waited patiently enough to hear what I have to say about playing sets in Omaha, and now I shall deliver. The set is the strongest draw in Omaha, quite simply because once you make your hand (that is to say, you have made a full house or quads), your opponent’s flush and straight draws are dead. In this first part, we will take a closer look at the set as a draw. Sets are unique because they work as both draws and made hands; it is uncommon to see a set win a pot when other draws do not get there. This is what makes sets the level three draws.
