Almost any question concerning poker can be answered with the same two words, ‘It Depends!!’ Finding the best site for Omaha SNG tournaments is no exception – it depends on what it important to you as a player… some people like the biggest (or fastest clearing) bonuses, others like the softest opposition, some prefer tables than fill up within seconds and still others prefer the best software and features available.
This article looks at various criteria for the best poker sites for Omaha Sit N Go tournaments on a wide number of criteria. We start with a summary box with a quick pros and cons for each site – beneath this is a short summary of the Omaha SNGs at each site with objective information to help you make the right choice for your own needs.
Best Omaha SNGs Candidate #1 – Poker Stars
Pokerstars rise has been amazing – they are now more than three times as busy as their closest competitors (Party and Titan) in terms of traffic, and this includes the huge number Omaha SNGs on offer too. It is really the combination which makes Pokerstars stand out, great software, fantastic game-play and a loyalty program which offers regular players fantastic cash rewards, freerolls and more. Omaha SNGs run in a variety of formats, and at buy-in levels to suit almost everyone from micros levels through to the high rollers.
In addition to the standard 2,6 and 9-max SNGs you will find Fifty50 (part double or nothing, part payout based on chip counts), knockout Omaha SNGs and many mixed-game variations which include Omaha too including HORSE, HOSE and 8-game. For those who enjoy multi-table SNGs, there are options available between 18 and 240 players at a variety of buy-ins. Read the Poker Stars Review now.
Best Omaha SNGs Candidate #2 – Carbon Poker
US based players do not have too many choices, so it is just as well that one of them is getting better and better for Omaha SNG fans. Carbon have great software and are now starting to break the 10k simultaneous players level, which means there are enough Omaha fans to run plenty of lower level 2, 6 and 9 player SNGs. You will also find double-up games spread.
As player numbers continue to grow I expect to see more higher buy-in games running – and maybe some more variations too! I recommend US readers check out Carbon for themselves, while it is not the same as the pre black-Friday sites there are a lot of positives.
Best Omaha SNGs Candidate #3 – Party Poker
The original poker site – and still one of the ‘fishiest’ Omaha poker venues to be found anywhere. Omaha SNGs focus on PLO and PLO8 at a rather limited variety of buy-ins. Party have more recently noticed the increasing numbers of Omaha fans, and we expect the options to grow futher.
The Party Poker sign-up bonus is 100% to $500 and includes entry to the new VIP club which offers generous cash-back and bonus for points deals which can add up to a 40% of your SNG fees back. You’ll find all the information on the all new Party Poker in our detailed Party Poker Omaha Review – even better check out Party Poker for yourself now to see that they still offer some of the easiest games online!
Best Omaha SNGs Candidate #4 – Lock Poker
This site gets its high rating for 2 important reasons. Firstly the bonuses including 200% sign-up bonus up to $4000 and then the ongoing (and profitable!) gold card / gold chip promotions… and this does not even start to cover the one-off promos which Lock are becoming well known for. Secondly, opponents you will find in the Omaha SNGs here are softer than at many of the other US-friendly sites – giving you a bigger potential for profit. A great variety of SNGs are available in all the popular Omaha formats and include Double-up games and a good range of buy-in levels. We think this site will be a big success moving forward and highly recommend them for recreational US players.
