Plo Advice

[Naismith 0]

Okay, I'm playing in a 1/2 or 2/5 NL Hold'em, PLO split. The other players are horrible in both aspects, but because of my lack of skill in Omaha, my edge shrinks during the PLO rounds. It's to the point I've considered just mucking my PLO hands.Because of how bad they are, I'd rather improve at PLO since I think it's a more profitable game.Can anyone direct me towards some good PLO articles I could check out before playing tonight?Thanks in advance.

Bet-the-pot articles are the absoulte must for the beginners.http://www.bet-the-pot.com/pot-limit-omaha-page35.htmlhttp://www.bet-the-pot.com/pot-limit-omaha...two-page42.htmlhttp://www.bet-the-pot.com/pot-limit-omaha...ays-page81.htmlFor preflop starting hands selection, Rofl has these two (Basically it's about considering stack size and position before entering a pot)http://www.cardplayer.com/poker_magazine/a...5128&m_id=65577http://www.cardplayer.com/poker_magazine/a...5156&m_id=65578Josh Arieh has some general guidelines http://www.bluffmagazine.com/Magazine/2005_09_94.aspSteve Badger's (not as concrete or helpful for beginners)http://www.playwinningpoker.com/omaha/pot-limit/Ciafone's starting hand guidehttp://www.pokercoach.us/OMch.htm24 Vices in Pot-Limit Omaha by Rofl Slotboomhttp://www.cardplayer.com/poker_magazine/a...d=13462&m_id=71Finally, this article is ok.http://www.winningonlinepoker.com/plo.htmIt's will be nice if DN can give some advice on his loose-aggressive plays in plo (These are his forums, kind of nowadays, but he seldom makes posts in Omaha or O8 forums even though he claimed he loved O8, sad), but it requires a huge BR and tremendous post-flop playing skills to run players over.

I am doing this because I hope someday DN will throw some good advice in this forum because I want to see what Ivey taught him so may be we can pick up something as well. Shoot DN a PM if you wanna help, it's mutual beneficial.

He probablly won't give you an answer. Last time I asked him about heads up limit hold'em he wrote back what was a message saying he gets too many of these a day to answer them all. Hopefully he writes a book containing this plo info someday. I'd wish he'd include omaha in his book since it is a form of hold'em, but I don't see that happening either.

JKO, in the second link you posted..."PLAY: A flop re-raise or check-raise, excluding minimum re-raisesWHAT IT MEANS: “I almost certainly have the nuts”WHAT TO DO: Lay down your hand unless you have a colossal draw and pot odds. Be aware another pot–sized raise is coming on the turn. Maniacs will of course do this without a big hand, but in PLO, unlike NL, a re-raise on the flop usually means only one thing – a mighty hand. If you have 2nd set or bottom set, muck without a second thought even if the pot seems to be laying good odds or unless the player is a total maniac. So, so often people will flip the top set, or nut flush/straight, especially when the move was a maximum check-raise. No-one decent does this with 2 pair, a low set, or a big draw."It says that no one "decent" does this...but couldn't someone exploit this tendency? I'm pretty sure that I've made this move with top two before out of the blinds and made someone fold bottom set. Not saying that it's a good idea to go around doing it all the time, but against certain opponents, couldn't it be correct as a sort of semi-bluff?

If a mod wanted to sticky this thread, I think it could definitely be helpful. All of those articles are really good in terms of the right way to think about the game for beginning and intermediate players.

Advice question..AA28 double suited on AKJ flop. A pot bet.. pot raise and a pot reraise ahead of me. Obviously someone has the straight if not two of them. It ends up being a 5 way all in. I miss the boat and lose. Now I can't fold this w/ 5 to 1+ on my money... but I also have to think alot of my outs are dead w/ this much action. Is there ever any point to make this fold though? Do you fold it heads up? Gotta assume they'd have the straight but they may not.
