According to some good poker strategies I’ve heard, you need to be thinking exactly one level deeper than your opponent. If your opponent is thinking on level one, you need to be thinking on level two.
For those unfamiliar, here’s what that means:
- Level Zero
- What’s my hand?
- Level One
- What’s his hand?
- Level Two
- What hand does he think I have?
- Level Three
- What hand does he think I think he has?
… and so on unto insanity.
You can win a lot of Texas Hold ‘em games merely thinking on level one, since a lot of players are on level zero. But I’ve found that in Omaha, at least in the very low stakes, you just have to think on level zero, because the other players are thinking on level zero very poorly.
This Omaha is a strange game.
