'''Pot-limit Omaha''' (frequently shortened to '''PLO''') is popular in Europe, online, and in high-stakes "mixed games" played in some American casinos. This variant is more often played high only, but can also be played high-low. To a still greater degree than in Limit Omaha Hi-Lo, PLO is a game of drawing, when drawing, to the nut hand.<ref name="unknown">{{cite web|url=http://www.unknownpoker.com/omaha/pot-limit-8-strategy-tips.htm|title=Pot Limit Omaha 8|author=Young, Wesley R|access-date=2007-06-27|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130512215432/http://www.unknownpoker.com/omaha/pot-limit-8-strategy-tips.htm|archive-date=2013-05-12|url-status=dead}}</ref> Second best flushes and straights can be, and frequently become, losing hands, especially when a player is willing to commit their entire stack to the pot. Furthermore, because of the exponential growth of the pot size in pot-limit play, seeing one of these hands to the end can be very expensive and carry immense [[reverse implied odds]].

===Wraps===
In poker, an out is any unseen card in the deck that will give a player the best hand. A wrap is a straight draw with nine or more outs.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.countingouts.com| title = CountingOuts.com}}</ref> This is called a wrap because the player’s hole cards are said to wrap-around the board cards. In Texas hold 'em, where players have two hole cards, the greatest number of straight outs possible is eight; however, in Omaha, there are four hole cards, which can result in straight draws which can have up to 20 outs.  An example of a twenty-out wrap is {{cards|Jh|Ts|7d|6c}} on a flop of {{cards|9h|8s|2d}}. To hit a straight, any of the following cards is needed: {{cards|5h|5s|5d|5c|6h|6s|6d|7h|7s|7c|Th|Td|Tc}} {{cards|Js|Jd|Jc|Qh|Qs|Qd|Qc|}}.

===Redraws===
A desirable hand to have in PLO is the current best hand with a [[redraw]] to the nuts. For example, if the board is {{cards|Qs|Js|Th}}, and the player has {{cards|As|Kc|Qc|Qh}}, then not only do they have the current best hand possible (their ace-king makes the [[broadway straight|ace-high straight]]), but they also have a redraw with the two queens in their hand because if the board pairs, they will make a full house, or four queens. {{cards|As|Ks|Qc|Qh}} would be an even better hand because it has flush and royal flush redraws as well.  In fact, with the {{cards|Qs|Js|Th}} board, {{cards|As|Ks|Qc|Qh}} is approximately an 80-20 money favorite over a random hand containing ace-king (see [[Freeroll (poker)#Freeroll hand|freerolling]]). Even a pair of queens with any two spades is better than 55-45 against a random ace-king hand.
