bdc30 0 Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Ok boys - anyone that checks the omaha forum and has seen the low content thread there might know where I'm going with this. I started playing plo about 8 months ago. At first I sucked. Badly. Simo8ball started the low content thread (known for the rest of the post only as lc thread - or just lc). I posted a shitload of hands in there. Some I thought I played well, some I knew I played poorly, and some were just funny or quirky or interesting. I played some o8 tonight for the first time in a loooong time. It's a nice break from plo, and I think I might mix in a bit of the hi-lo to the game these days.Therefore - I need a "home" in the o8 forum, and the lc thread is just that place. If you have a hand that you just want to show, brag about, bitch about, etc - this is where it goes. If it's got strategic content or you're looking for feedback, in here probably isn't the best spot...lolThrough the Omaha forum lc thread, BudBundy, Simo, Iggy and BigLebowski (before the last 3 disappeared) literally taught me how to play that game. I hope you guys can help me in the same way, and that I can do my part and give back to the forum as well.Cheers, and good luck! Link to post Share on other sites

ahosang 0 Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Yes bdc30, the games are soft even at Full Tilt. The $50 buy-in is real soft and there's good value there. The hands that played against you in the 2 examples are very very weak. Normally would expect something a little better to play, but still they will sometimes draw to split(nuts). Yeh, like you said if you have strategy hands, best to post in a separate thread. Link to post Share on other sites
