Features
Win Odds, Pot Odds, Hand Odds, and Outs
Omaha Indicator calculates your win odds by using a mathematical algorithm based on the cards you hold, the community cards, and the number of players in the hand. Your Pot Odds are merely the ratio of money in the pot compared with how much it costs to call. The higher the ratio, the better your pot odds are. Omaha Indicator will also give you the Hand Odds(the probability of hitting a particular hand at showdown) of not just you but your opponents as well. The unknown cards yet to be dealt after the flop are known as Outs. The more cards left in the deck, the more chance of improving your hand. The more ways you can improve your hand is obviously better, so by counting your Outs you can do a rough quick calculation to estimate your odds of improving. Knowing your Outs can help you make a decision on the hand. Omaha Indicator displays your Outs statistics from strongest to weakest so you can easily choose which hands to play or ignore.
Starting Hand Strength and Hutchison Points
Starting Hand Strengths are displayed by telling you if they are “Premium”, “Strong”, or “Weak.

Omaha Indicator calculates your starting hand strength by using the Hutchison Point System for Starting Hands. The points and strength are two separate systems. Hands with higher points are “Strong” or “Premium” which lower scores are classed as Weak.
Position
Omaha Indicator displays your position after the flop. On a full table of 10 people, the first 3 seats would be Early. The button and the two seats before would be Late, and the in between is the Middle.
Mucked Hands Display
The Mucked Hands Display feature is available for use on Party Poker, Empire Poker, Full Tilt, iPoker, and most other popular rooms. Omaha Indicator can read the mucked hand information from the hand history. It will then display them, but keep in mind not every hand has mucked cards.
Hand Replayer
You can visualize hands you played with the exact player stats and win odds (for yourself and players with known cards).
Player Stats
Omaha Indicator also stores player stats automatically and they will load the next time you play with a tracked player. Omaha Indicator gets this information by reading data and log files supplied by the poker rooms. Omaha Indicator makes it easier by automatically remembering the information for you and displaying it.
In your Omaha Indicator installation folder, you can see a sub-folder named “Statistics”, where the stats database file is located.

- Player: If you click the header of this column once or twice, you can sort players by player name alphabetically or by seat positions on the game table.
- #H: The total number of hands tracked.
- VPIP (Voluntary Put Money In Pot): Percentage of games a player voluntarily puts Money in the pot pre-flop. Blinds do not count unless a player completes the small blind or calls a raise or raises from either blind. It measures a player’s tightness/looseness, which helps indicate the range of hands that the player will see a flop with. Green for Tight, Black for Neutral, Red for Loose. Below are the default settings.
| VP$IP |
Category |
| VP$IP < 22% |
Tight |
| 22% < VP$IP < 40% |
Neutral |
| VP$IP > 40% |
Loose |
- PFR: Pre-flop raise percentage.
- 3Bet/F: 3Bet pre-flop. % of times a player raises pre-flop when facing a raise. It includes 3Bet, 4Bet, 5Bet, etc.
/F: % of times a player folds when facing a 3Bet. It applies to the 1st raiser only. In case that hand is a 4bet hand eventually and the 1st raiser folds, it’s not a “Folded to 3Bet pre-flop”.
- Steal/F: % of time a player raises unopened pot pre-flop from the CO (Cutoff), Button and SB position. A steal can only be made if everyone in front of the stealer folds so that the stealer is making the first bet pre flop and only from the cutoff, button or small blind. If there is a limper in front and the steal position player raises, that is classed as "raising limpers" and not "stealing".
/F: % of times SB/BB folds when facing a steal.
- AF (Aggression Factor): It measures a player's aggression/passivity, which represents the player's betting tendencies after the flop. Omaha Indicator provides a combined AF for flop, turn, and river. If a player makes some raises and bets but never calls, the AF will be displayed as Inf, which means "infinite".
AF = (Raise% + Bet %) / Call %
Red for Passive, Black for Neutral, Green for Aggressive. Below are the default settings.
| AF Value |
Category |
| AF < 1 |
Passive |
| 1 < AF < 2.0 |
Neutral |
| 2.0 < AF |
Aggressive |
- CBet/F: Continuation bet on flop. % of time a player bets the flop after being the pre-flop raiser. A CBet can only be made when there are players to act before the pre-flop raiser, if those other players all check to the pre-flop raiser.
/F: % of time a player folds to a continuation bet on flop.
- WSD/W: To further categorize players, we use "Went to Showdown %" to measure whether a player is Solid or Overplay. It is based on the hands when saw flop. Green for Solid, Red for Overplay. Below are the default settings.
| WSD% |
Category |
| WSD < 40% |
Solid |
| 40% < WSD |
Overplay |
/W: Went to Showdown and Won percentage.- Net: The chip amount that this player is up or down for all hands tracked. It is very interesting to observe how different playing styles (see VPIP, AF etc) correlate with winning or losing patterns. Also, the amount change may represent additional useful information regarding the player's current mindset (who is more likely to "play it safe", who is getting desperate, who is about to "go on tilt" etc).

Profiling Icons
After receiving more than 40 hands for a player, Omaha Indicator will assign a Profiling Icon.
 Calling Station (Loose, Passive).
 Gambler (Loose, Aggressive).
 Tight, Aggressive.
 Rock (Tight, Passive).
 Neutral, Neutral.
 Neutral, Aggressive.
 Neutral, Passive.
 Loose, Neutral.
 Tight, Neutral.
 After 20 hands, Omaha Indicator still can't profile this player as one of the icons above.
 Not sure yet. Not enough hands of data to categorize this player.
Verdict
Even though Omaha Indicator is the only Omaha poker odds calculator available on the market do not let the lack of competition delude you into thinking this shouldn’t be your product of choice. Anybody looking to break into the market would have a tough time beating this product to the top spot.
It is a valuable tool to both beginners and advanced players. It will help newer players to learn the game especially pot odds and position which can sometimes be easily overlooked. For Advanced players, the collected statistics are invaluable. Graphically, Omaha Indicator is well designed and works seamlessly with the poker room windows. It is easy-to-use and easily configurable to suit your playing style and preference If you wish. However, the default settings are more than sufficient. Omaha Indicator offers great value for money especially when obtained through one of their poker room offers.
