Default Re: Tournament Omaha/8

Buzz's thoughts are good, as always. The hands he used might be to good to fold even in a bubble situation. Generally Omaha is a drawing game. When the blinds are high and people are playing tighter, it makes it much harder to get good odds on your draw. Another consideration, is that playing short stacked in O8 is not something that you are likely to be use to in ring games. It requires a different strategy that includes fold equity much more so than in a ring game. An ultra tight game with a medium stack will probably serve you best. Not drawing as much as you would in a ring game is important. Scoop hands are worth so much more in a tourney. An extension is that High only hands are worth more as well.
