When do you ever bluff in Omaha? When do you slowplay? In my opinion, both of those questions can be answered in two words: almost never.

You have to be kidding if you think no one's ever bluffing in PL Omaha.

Someone make's a big pre-flop raise with 89TJ, takes the flop h/u and then pots it on A72 because he represented the A.

Or the guy on the button who has AK78 and pots it on a T 6 2 flop because everyone limped pre-flop and now it's been checked around to him.

There's plenty of that going on, especially by deep stacks against smaller ones. If you don't ever make those plays, or think no one else does, no wonder you think there's no skill in the game.

That being said, you're right about the nut peddlers. But they're a hell of a lot easier to play against than the wild ones.

I think you are losing it a little bluff.

Maybe this would be better:

Tho' Silent Acorns did not scream,
The hand played out like some bad dream.
Top set! Allin! he's glad about
'til Rempel rivers bad suckout.

what the hell is wrong with 5-5-2-2
ive played lots of omaha and ill see the flop with this hand form any posiiton for the bring in, and theres a good chance id call a raise cold with it PF, and id DEFINATLEY call a PF rasie with it if i thought the guy had aces when he raised.

Heh, it was for me as well yesterday. I kinda like it though, in spite of getting stacked by quads once already.

At the lower limits as I have frequently said, you can make more errors of any kind including hand selection, simply because the level of play overall is so bad. Thus you can be making lots of mistakes but less than the other players and still come out ahead. The only reason bottom set can be profitable at lower limits is because other players with go broke with any 2 pair or chasing 8 out draws to the river headsup.

But at the higher limits, bottom set will get you busted long term, because most of the action you will get, will be action you don't want. And players with AA sometimes have 88 to go with it when that seemingly sweet flop of 832 comes along for you, and you think they are just dumping their stack with unimproved aces.

Re: I don\'t get it....
 

alas! i cry, to my chagrin
5522 i did take in
boredom won, my poor stack lost
as all my hard earned chips i tossed
to my surprise a set i made
as was right i made him pay
to see the draw for which he called
a blank, again my chips did fall
to no avail, he took the dare
but now i smile for comes a pair
my last good chips flew boldly out
matched by his without a doubt
for mine was not the only set
i stupidly ignored that threat
and walked straight on into the net
for one bare out 2 times i bet
