Several features of widow games (such
as Omaha and Hold’em) deserve special attention,
since they account for the rise in popularity of those
games.
First, once all the common cards have been exposed,
it is always possible to define the best possible hand,
and it is often possible to predict the winning hand.
Second, since all the players share the common cards,
their final hands may often be similar, and may even
be identical. Thus the value of a given hand is different
than it would be in non-widow games.
For example, in Omaha, if the widow contains a pair,
it is likely that more than one player will have three
of a kind or a full house. Or to take another example,
if the widow shows four cards to a straight, it is quite
likely that three or more players may each have a straight,
therefore relying on your knowledge that “on average”
straights are powerful is pretty unwise.
Instead, the relevant question is; given this particular
widow, how likely is my straight to be the best straight.
In widow games, apparently minor differences in players’
closed cards are often decisive.
