Omaha 8/b....Low Limit vs. Small $$$ Pot limit

[FredJones888]

why all the interest in Pot limit vs. low limit ?

According to Badger, a good player can earn much more at pot limit than limit, that's all I know.

I've been playing the penny PLO8 on UB, and it does seem to take more skill than I have [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Looks to me like there is very little point in drawing. You just can't call a raise unless you really, really have it.

A2 without strength in the other two cards ain't worth much.

the real question, in terms of profitability, is how stupid the opponents are. bad players will lose faster at pot-limit, but those who insist on plays like drawing to second-nut lows tend to abandon pot-limit or learn that such a play is a mistake, whereas at limit they go on doing it.

so your opponent will make more mistakes at limit, but those mistakes are more costly at pot-limit. if you find opponents who make big mistakes at pot-limit, you're probably better off there.

another factor: low-limit o/8 is very boring, where there is actually some enjoyment in playing pot-limit.

I feel the same way you do. Pot limit just seems like more risk per hand to me.

I understand, thanks.

but I think that playing limit is fun although somewhat relaxing ( which is nice after work ), and I find playing at pot limit very stressfull even when I win.
