where's Huflungpu's contribution to this thread? He is the master of Omaha. I once railed him as he sat on a table with $6 and then he left 55 minutes later with $89. Posted by Mr_Miyagi
1) Play very close to the nuts 2) Bet your draws 3) Bet instead of check raising 4) Big preflop raise followed by auto c-bet = bye bye bankroll 5) Balance aggression and paranoia 6) Target NLHE players 7) Board reading skills are essential, also knowing what is and isnt a scare card(different to nlhe) 8) AAxx is NOT a great starting hand. 9) Try to limit yourself to starting hands with 3+ nut drawing hands to begin with. 10) most importantly read my excellent thread in the clinic entitled Ask away about the 4 card game.

Great advice Talon- I'll be putting it to good use tonight!
This is a spoof thread, right...? Posted by J-Hartigan
Oi Hartigan- you're just scared because I'm now turning my attention to your specialised subject and we both know it's only a matter of time before I become better at it than you.

Based on my performance in recent weeks, it shouldn't take you more than 30 or 40 seconds!
By the way, why on earth are you starting at 10p/20p? Run before you can walk, man ;-)

It's Sky's money and how else am I going to get Tommy D to donk off all his chips? lol
Right- so I've lost FOUR buy-ins on my first night.
Think that's gone quite well, all-in-all.
I might just drop down to the 2p/4p tables though next time. You know, just to be on the safe side. Ahem...
Thanks to the players and railers tonight- appreciate it.
And also genuinely appreciate any advice on Omaha. I'm finding myself limping in on practically every hand (probably not great tactics) but when I raise pre-flop, I never seem to connect with the board in a convincing way because you know you have to be absolutely huge.
So- my question is- is there any point in raising pre-flop in Omaha when you always get multiple callers and the flop is much more likely to be massive for someone else?
