Pot Limit Omaha is a truly sick game.

Even when you hit the third best possible hand on the flop, you can find yourself in a nasty spot by the turn or river.

That's exactly what happened to Ryan Fee in the hand we're analyzing today. He flops the second nut full house on a 6-6-6 board, but his opponent bets three times, representing the few hands that have him beat.

We'll start by quickly breaking down the action on each street, comparing Ryan's play to what Monker Solver likes to do.

From there, we'll talk about a hyper-aggressive tactic that basically all human players are missing from their games.

This is part 3 of Dylan Weisman and Chris Wehner's new Pot Limit Omaha strategy series! Go back to part 1 here and part 2 here. Part 4 will be published on this blog next Friday (February 28th).

Both Dylan and Chris are PLO pros who crush games as high as $25/$50 and $50/$100.

Cutting-Edge Tactics from Monker Solver

As previously mentioned, Fee is at a huge disadvantage throughout this hand due to the preflop action and the static nature of the board.

By implementing a couple of cutting-edge tactics, Monker Solver mitigates this disadvantage on the flop and flips the script on the turn. Expand the sections below to learn how it manages to do that.
