Sounds like a plan. Another new game to figure out. Thanks for posting.

How many kinds of Omaha are there?

I was playing a little Limit H/L yesterday and kind of liked sticking around in pots and stealing half the pot because I had garbage and someone else has a real hand.

I also noticed they have NL Omaha, that would be kinda crazy I would think.

Primarily Omaha Hi and Omaha Hi/Lo but each can be played in the Limit, Pot Limit and some sites offer a No Limit which isn't a very good format for them IMHO. Occasionally, we play Crazy Pineapple Omaha H/L where you get 5 cards and discard one after the flop. I've also played a variation of Omaha where you can use 2 or 3 cards from your hand.

Usually this is a money losing situation long term. The goal in H/L is to scoop or quarter your opponent and is how you really make money. Chasing a low only hand heads up is a definite no-no unless there is a lot of dead money already in the pot and its limit or cheap.

Well, it was on a P* freeroll so I thought I would just go farting around and try a game I have not played before....I was there for 4 hours. I went out in 48th place after my aforementioned strategy stopped working and only the top 27 places advanced. It worked well at the lower limits because while I came up empty a lot, I also got paid off when it worked however at the higher limits I could only afford to go to the river a couple times, even with over 100k in chips.

It was still fun though.

Understood. I play the $1 SNG every now and then just to screw around and have fun.

Ooh ooh! I'm in.

[hachkc]

Damn, I'm playing nice and tight winning pots and in a good lead. A few folks drop out so I loosen up a bit and proceed to spew my chips all over the place.

If it aint broke, don't fix it.

Embarrassing

Wish I could have joined you guys, but I'm all involved in some Puerto Rico chip auctions that are ending tonight.

Good luck one and all.
