Re: O8 -playing tight and speaking of old-timers
Regarding "old" men, I was only using that term in response to some others who were talking about a group of "oldtimers" who seemed to be really experienced, and the poster was wondering if he should play with them because the men were good players. When I was playing the other day, actually the whole table was made up of older players who seemed to all know each other mostly and seemed experienced.
I think this is the key- since hand strength preflop is not as large a gap in Omaha/8 as it is in HE, post-flop play is key. Their raising may disguise one of two things:
- They DON'T know what they're doing and are getting lucky
- They know how to play post-flop very well and how to best take advantage of mistakes by others.
