Limit Hold’em is less action packed compared to No-Limit Holdem as you can only bet a certain amount of chips at a time. This means players will see more flops and play more hands until showdown. It also means new players will lose their money a lot more slowly

Compared to No-Limit you can play more draw hands in Limit Hold’em when you're out of position. Your opponents can't make big bets, which gives you the right pot odds to call.
However, you should avoid playing hands with little potential such as two low cards without draws. There will often be more opponents seeing the flop compared to No-Limit so you are unlikely to be ahead unless you hit something big on the flop

Generally you can play the same kind of starting hands as in No-Limit but make sure to make a few adjustments. See also our strategy section on Limit Hold’em.

Limit Omaha Hi-Lo
Basic Rules
8game3
Game play in Omaha Hi-Lo is like in normal Omaha but the main difference is the pot is split into two and given to the best high hand and the best low hand.
To get the best low hand, all five cards have to be of the value 8 or lower (no pairs). This is why the game is also called Omaha 8-or-Better.
An ace is counted as a low card as well as a high card. You can have a flush or a straight in your low hand so the best possible low hand is 5-4-3-2-A (suits have no importance here).
If nobody has a qualified low hand (which happens fairly often) the pot goes to the player with the best high hand. Read the Omaha Hi-Lo Rules here

Basic Strategy
A good rule of thumb for Omaha Hi-Lo is to go for the high hand but have a draw for the low hand. Since it happens frequently that no player has a qualified low hand, you can in many cases scoop the pot with the best high hand.
A hand with one or two aces is always a good starting hand as it increases your chances to win both the high and the low hand. The best possible low hand - 5-4-3-2-A - can sometimes also end up being the best high hand as a straight.
As in PLO it's always good to have a double-suited starting hand, preferably also well connected. If you have four of the same suit, be careful proceeding. See also our beginners guide to Omaha Hi-Lo.
