12-10 PLO $400 (http://www.pokeravi.com/download.php?id=104)

Feel free to comment on my play.

[WSOPWinner2005]

I needed some kind of a WMP Codec to play the video ? I work on the internet and view videos through WMP about 30-40 times a day, might want to take a look at that - I was too lazy to see which Codec was required, lol

Edited : Never mind, it's an avi file ..

No problem. Be forewarned: I am a novice at PLO.

My spontaneous thought while watching was that you seemed to fold your button too much three handed, and play too loose on the small blind. I suck at Omaha so my opinion should be discounted, but I wondered if the better players agree?

One question: Are the Omaha games always that soft?

I cant comment on your play itself too much, I didnt see anything that was totally wrong, but I'm not a very experienced Omaha player, so my opinion isnt worth too much. However I noticed that you sometimes instacall/bet very fast, sometimes in less than 1 second of thinking. Do you try to alter the way your opponents are playing?

Another thing is, that your very small blocking river bets like 1/4 are losers very often. Maybe you should start check-folding some of these 1 pair rivers.

You have a lot of leaks.

Here's an example:

You were in the BB, SB minraised to $8

You held 2c 2h 6c Ks

This should have been folded preflop, even for the minraise, as the hand has *no chance* of hitting anything that will win you a decent sized pot, unless you flop quads. Pairs go down in value in shorthanded PLO games, and 22 is never worth much.

The flop came Ac 9h Kh

The SB Bet $4 into the $15.20 pot. I can see calling this bet here to raise the turn if your opp will keep firing weak with air, but generally you don't want to show down. If you have the best hand, so be it. Raise the flop or turn. Calling all the way with a hand that is unlikely to improve when you have no idea where you're at is a huge leak.

/images/graemlins/confused.gif I play dry pairs much more aggressively shorthanded.

I agree with the 22xx fold tho. Even to a min-raise that should be automatic.
