Introduction

This article explains

In order to know how valuable your hand is, you should pay attention to position first and foremost, as well as your hand's attributes: does it play well in a multiway pot, or do you want to have as few opponents as possible?

This article will help you understand basic pre-flop play concepts to get started in Pot Limit Omaha.
