Omahahahahah
I am guessing we have some skilled 0/8 players here in the STT forum, so I am also guessing there is a reason why nobody seems to play them...
Is it because all limit SNGs tend to turn into a crapshoot in later levels? Or maybe it's because they are amazingly soft, and some of you are there already, fishing from your secret pond? [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] I think I'd like to start adding some O/8 games, and would appreciate any insight. (I have played a few low-buyin O/8 tournies on Party, and have done well by playing a very basic selective PF strategy.) If anyone is up for making a run at them with me, I'd be happy to turn it into some a joint effort kind of deal. (Share HHs, offer terrible advice, etc.) Your Little Omaha Buddy, octaveshift |

Re: Omahahahahah
it's because they usually take longer and run less frequently than other games.

Re: Omahahahahah
Every non-NLHE SNG at Party is amazingly soft but just too rare at higher limits.
A friend of mine went 36/43 ITM at $10 Stud/8. O8 isn't THAT bad but it's close. $/hour? I dunno. Maybe if you could multitable them effectively. |

(I always imagine Stud/Hi villains to be 80-year-old men with bifocals, who lean closely into the screen and take a slow hit off their oxygen bottle before calling my raises.) I mean, they were stupidly easy. People calling when they couldn't even beat my up cards. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] |

Re: Omahahahahah

Re: Omahahahahah
Hey Octave, I've been playing one or two O8's a day lately. PM if you want to trade some hand histories.
I've done ok at them, but given the relatively low edge in pre-flop hand strength in Omaha (no hand as big a favorite as AA in hold'em) I'm not sure I have an effective late game strategy yet. |

Re: Omahahahahah
I've been looking at picking up PLO (not O8) lately. Any reason for the preference toward O8 v PLO? I'd be up for some discussion, but at this point, it'd probably be more productive for you to simply post your hands to the respective forum. I don't imagine I'd know much of what I'm doing as what I've learned so far of PLO has been pretty mind-bending from a NLHE perspective. And I'm not too cotton pickin smart.
