What does this mean to you, and how do you take advantage of this information? Assuming you're going to let the jackpots be the deciding factor in your game selection, you should make sure to do the following:
1. When you enter the poker room and are deciding which games to play, look at the hold 'em and Omaha jackpots. If the hold 'em jackpot is more than four times as large as the Omaha jackpot, then you should play hold 'em. Alternatively, if the Omaha jackpot is less than one-fourth as big as the hold 'em jackpot, then you should still play hold 'em.
2. Learn to play Omaha if you don't already know how. Assuming you are going to be a poker player in the broader sense of the term, and not just a hold 'em player, you should know how to play more than one poker game. As you can see, it's worth money to you. If you're interested in this topic, look for my book on Omaha that's due to be published about six months after this one.
3. Determine how many tables there are of each game, because the jackpot can be hit at only one table. For example, if the hold 'em jackpot is $8,000 and the Omaha jackpot is $2,000, it's a mathematical toss-up whether to play hold 'em or Omaha. If, however, there are two hold 'em games going, and only one Omaha game going, that cuts your odds in half that you'll be at the right table when the hold 'em jackpot is hit, and it clearly makes Omaha the better game.
4. If you're new to Omaha or you play but not that well, and you think the jackpot is worth playing for, ask the card room manager to start an Omaha game with the lowest limits that will still qualify for the jackpot. You can probably get a $2-$4 game going, especially if you let the other players in the room know what you're doing and why.
Don't forget that the money in the jackpot belongs to the players. You're the customer. If you're successful at getting this game started, the most important thing is that you make sure it is for high only, and not high-low split. High-low split is a game that requires a great deal of skill to play well, so those games are usually populated by experts.
Before I end this chapter, did I mention that the jackpot money belongs to the players and not to the poker room or casino management?
