has Miami John published anything online?

Are there any other quality articles online to be found?

Thanks in advance!

Play and raise with any three wheel cards? It's certainly a simplistic theory, which has appeal because of it's simplicity. But I strongly suspect that top notch Omaha-8 players don't really play this way, regardless of what they may claim. I strongly suspect that top notch Omaha-8 players strongly base their play on the opponents they are facing, rather than on an overly simplistic "three wheel card theory."

I did not say to always play and raise with 3 wheel cards. I said that you throw them away in bad spots. Nine-3-4-5? In the garbage. I realize now that, after rereading the section, Miami John said to play them for 1 bet, two only if you're the raiser. And no, the advice didn't come from Hellmuth directly, it was from Miami John through Phil.

What do you think of the three card wheel theory of O/8, devoloped by Miami John? I was curious about the theory becuase I'm tweaking my game.

I don't know who the heck Miami John is, but if I have to trust a well-known poker authority on O/8 strategy I think I'm going with Ray Zee everytime.

Of course, somebody cold called 3 bets last night with 2s 2d 6s 7s and scooped me and my AA2Kds so what do I know.

remeber that Miami John created this strategy and he considered the best O8 player evah.

he is obviously a good o8 player, but i honestly don't understand how playing any three wheel cards can be a good strategy. calling two bets with hands like A459 just seems to be losing bets in the long run.

Damn, you don't know who Miami John Cernuto is?

Anyway, I think the three-whell-card theory is too simplistic. Ray Zee's books are better, and SS2 is better.
