PLO where to start?

Rob Blackburn · #1 03-16-2004, 09:29 PM

I've been playing alot of micro PLO lately while I play tourneys, and have atually be winning, but to be honest I don't even know what the heck I'm doing. I searched for starting hands or basics posts on the board and have found very little that gets me a good idea. Can anyone point me in some direction on books/tutorial websites/posts that would get me started on learning the game properly.

Rob,

Purchase 'Omaha Holdem Poker' by Bob Ciaffone. At a little over 100 pages it is somewhat short on information but what is there is quality stuff.

Also purchase 'Pot-limit & No-limit Poker' by Stewart Reuben and Bob Ciaffone. This is a high quality text with excellent information.

Post some hands also. Everyone will try to help you out.

I have no knowledge about quality websites but others may have.

ciaffone's omaha book is excellent, telling you what you want to look for in starting hands, and from the flop on. i have some basic advice for beginners on my website also.

When I saw this thread, I was going to recommend the essay at:

I read it a few weeks ago and thought it was extremely helpful. I had no idea it was crockpot's until right now when I saw his post and checked his profile.

Great essay, crockpot.
