limit or no limit you would see less flops in omaha, hi or 8. even though the hands run closer in omaha. you dont get to bluff as easily.

So are you saying that the hands runs so close together in value, u should play less of them? It might be the tables I play at, but I see somewhere around 30-40% in PLO at the 0.25/0.50 tables and see about 15-25% in NLHE at the same tables. I have been profitable at both tables. But one of the main observations are that the 30-40% of the flops I see, I dump 1/2 of them on the flop. Is this not a wrong type of play?

So you're saying you should only be seeing 9-11% of flops with Omaha?

I'd imagine it'd be harder to multi-table Omaha as well . . .

Why are you guys trying to rephrase what Ray Zee told you. Why take the "So you are saying..." approach and put words in his mouth?

Your have to understand the distinctions in the type of games that are being discussed and not contaminate one with the other.

Limit Omaha - 8 or hi
Pot-limit Omaha - 8 or hi
No-limit Omaha - 8 or hi (not played much, maybe this has changed)

and etc differences for hold'em along with the blind structure....yada, yada, yada.

Ray's post specifically made statements about Limit and No-limit. No mentioned of Pot-limit was made.

I apologize, after studying and playing a bit more O8 I realize I sounded like an idiot in my previous post.
