Ok I started by playing pot limit omaha high low, became good at it and still am and consistently beat the .50/1 and 1/2 games, just one problem, that game is rarely if ever spread live.
Well I decided ok because im going to vegas in about a week on vacation with my family I need to develop my skills at games that are spread live, I chose omaha high since its the closest thing to omaha high low. I started by being in a downswing it seemed, I have been playing it for 2 weeks and my first week of playing I ran into quads 4 times when I had the nut full house, I think thats a pretty bad downswing, but I only lost 1 buy in that whole week of playing .50/1 pot limit omaha high. Since then I turned it around and have been beating it. Its a small sample of course only about 6000 hands, since the first week I didnt play it full time, mostly part time after high low or when high low was bad.
Well the problem is this last week I played it full time for the first time and beat it pretty consistently. Its a problem because I could not find much time to play high low. I think I would have earned the same amount, but still I didnt play as much high low as I wanted to.
Another problem I have begun playing holdem, .50/1, 3 tables, my first day was yesterday. I sucked at it of course lost 7 bucks, ill get the hang of it with time im sure. Anyway im having a hard time playing everything. Yesterday I said ill play 2 games holdem and omaha high. I played 500 .50/1 holdem hands and then 800 .50/1 pot limit omaha high hands. I did very well, but I didnt play any high low. I am getting overwhelmed by the games.
Heres the thing, my favorite game is omaha high, I think its the best card game because of the amount of strategy involved and everything, I really would like to play that more. I want to learn holdem because its what everyone plays and because its spread in any casino and also limit can be very profitable from what I hear. However its just boring to me it seems, I cant push people out of pots, go for the big bluff or control people with my actions like I can in the pot limit omaha games. Omaha high low I enjoy, but most of all I feel like I owe it something, I mean I studied the game like crazy and learned a lot to consistenly win, not only that, but it also gave me a bankroll its like I owe it everything, so I feel I should play it. I dont know its just overwhelming me, I cant decide what to do? Any suggestions? Also playing 1500 hands in one day makes my head hurt, is this normal?
