My first SnG on PStars, and I absolutely ran over the table, they were so weak/tight it was mind-blowing.... I just started playing the game, and I went in with the expectations that I had to stick to stringent starting hand requirements and almost never bluff, but the table was so rockish I switched to LAG and grabbed and held the chiplead all the way through. My stats were:

During current Omaha H/L session you were dealt 83 hands and saw flop:
- 10 out of 16 times while in big blind (62%)
- 10 out of 15 times while in small blind (66%)
- 21 out of 52 times in other positions (40%)
- a total of 41 out of 83 (49%)
Pots won at showdown - 13 of 15 (86%)
Pots won without showdown - 23

Is this normal? I thought Hi-Low was crowded with drawing donkeys?

going LAG is one thing, seeing half the flops is another entirely. there are some situations in plo8 tourneys where i'll see nearly every flop from the CO or button, but i don't think my flop % ever gets that high.

If there are two things LHE players like, they are weed and pornography. The third would be kittens. LHE does not appear on the list.

extremely lucky.

it's one thing when the blinds start climbing. but take this one as the exception and not the norm. typically, i play O8 SnG's tighter than cash games in the early stages.
if you're not playing the notes in front of you it's not mozart.

I use the same formula, seems to work well...you just have to understand which hands are good to push with later on, and play your strong post flop hands aggressively

I once won a 10$ hold'em sng where I won 60% of ALL hands dealt... sometimes you just get lucky, but don't make a habit of playing like that
