I, LIKE MANY PLAYERS, DISCOVERED OMAHA BY ACCIDENT IN A DYM. I WAS DELIGHTED TO GET FOUR CARDS BUT DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. I THOUGHT I HAD FLUSHES AND STRAIGHTS USING ONLY ONE CARD LOL.
AFTER GETTING MY PANTS PULLED DOWN SEVERELY IN THAT TOURNAMENT, I WENT TO READ THE RULES.
AFTER THAT I REALLY ENJOYED PLAYING IT AND HAVE KEPT FLITTING TO IT, PARTICULARLY WHEN MY LUCK HAS BEEN DOWN PLAYING HOLDEM.
ITS REALLY GOOD FUN AND EVEN DONKS ARE NOT REA;LLY DONKS AT ALL. THEY ARE JUST PLAYERS WHO REALLY THINK THAT THEY HAVE A GOOD HAND WHEN THEY DONT LOL. YOU CAN SIT AT A DYM AND NOT PLAY A HAND BECAUSE OF THESE PLAYERS JUST SKINNING EACH OTHER WHILE YOU WATCH AND WIN WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING.
BEST ADVICE I CAN GIVE, WHICH HELPED ME A LOT, WAS TO ALWAYS LOOK AT WHAT IS WRITTEN UNDERNEATH THE COMMUNITY CARDS TO SEE WHAT YOU HAVE RATHER THAN JUST GAUPING AT THE 2 BULLETS THAT ARE ONLY HALF THE STORY OF YOUR HAND.
ALSO INTERLINKED CARDS ARE MUCH BETTER TO GO ALL IN WITH THAN PAIRS MOST OF THE TIME I FIND. A HALF DECENT HAND LIKE 2 PAIRS IN HOLDEM IS A BIT RUBBISH IN OMAHA.
LIKE I SAID ITS GREAT WHEN YOU ARE DOWN AT HOLDEM TO GO PLAY OMAHA FOR HALF AN HOUR JUST TO LOOK AT AFEW GOOD CARDS FOR A CHANGE. MAKES ME FEEL GOOD ANYWAY LOL.
In Response to Re: New forum Section - Omaha - your thoughts? : [QUOTE ]Please start another area for Bad Beats , some people don't think their bad beats are Area 51 but they still annoy everyone!! please please please put a bad beat section up to keep them off here, either that or move every bad beat thread to area 51 alot quicker Posted by FlashFlush
This - PLEASE. Bad Beat threads are the very bane of all poker forums - nobody wants to see them, or read them, they are wholly negative & serve no function except to the OP. People want to Post them, yes (Heaven knows why), but read them - noooooooooooo! Any newbie to our Community who sees a forum full of Bad Beat tales will be off like a shot. Stick them in a Board down by Area 51, so we are not plagued by them. Nothing depresses the Forum mood more than Bad-Beat Tales. Posted by Tikay10 Sorry to disagree, but i love bad beat tales of woe, especially when they start blaming everyone and everything else, and even more so when it happens 'all the time' and would ' never happen in live poker' but then again i think i must have a bit of an evil streak in me !! 'sorry, must learn to not laugh at tales of woe and poker software corruption'
