I was messing around this moring, and holy shit it's soft.

Assem, you must play these games.

I didn't even run that well, but I'm thinking I could probably do at least $600 a week 4 tabling it.

I mean SOFT.

Try $50s and $100s, soft as well.

Not to be an elitist or anything, but $2k's plenty soft enough that I wouldn't bother with $50 or $100.

I was just thinking about Aseem's short bankroll this morning and sat in a few $25 games to see how they were.

Apparently calling off $100 with just a wheel on a paired board is the new black in the $25 game.

Good luck.

Actually I've recommended Aseem for PP's $25s, $50s, $100s plo8 tables too.

How soft is it? You are making me itchy...

Have you tried the $400 tables at PP, there are quite some good players there. I hate competitions, when there are tough lineups at $400, I move down to $200s...

Consistently a tougher game than $2k.

10/20 limit's almost allways tougher than 20/40 too.

Don't ask me why.

Good luck.

Since you and Wintermute (regular poster at 2+2) and some other players like gergery are regulars at 2k, I decide to wait until I am expert enough to move up.

thanks for the heads-up. i really need to work on my PLO8 game, so i'll give it a try. i did play a lot of PLO (hi only) at the $25 level on party and made some good money (i think something like 6 bigblinds/100 over 4000ish hands), i do remember that was soft.

yeah, why is that? $20/$40 live at turning stone looked insanely soft (every hand was five-way or six-way and every hand was capped on most streets, at least three people always went to showdown), but when i played $5/$10 there, it was a freaking rock garden, insanely weak/passive. i didn't get a chance to try out $10/$20, so i'm not sure what that was like.

Any chance of you doing one of those low limit experiments? (limit or PL)
I play both, pretty much breakin even. Your LHE expeiment helped me immensely!

smash, i agree. i think it would be tremendous if you did a PLO8 thing, similar to the hold 'em thing. if you wanted to start at party's PL$25, you could start with $300 (12 buy-ins... sufficient PLO8 bankroll?) and work it up to $3000 or something.

I could very likely 4 table the 25 game there with a $100 bankroll forever and probably never have a losing session.

You guys don't seem to grasp the LACK of variance in PLO8 when played against bad players. The reason it's not a more popular game is that bad players just get destroyed and good players win.

There's very little luck. To lose money in that game I'd just have to either miss a million flops or be playing in a rare game with constant huge preflop raises.

I'd like to do the same.

Do you see why?

Seriously, how 'bout it?

Like I said , the 1st experiment helped a lot. Seeing your mindset through a whole seesion improved my thought process. I still look over it on occasion when i'm playing like a donk!! I'd love to have the same refrence guide for O8.

seems like Online Poker is especially nice for PLO8 and NL games

I'm probably talking outta my ass, but in PLO8, aren't you taking down less pots, but bigger ones than in a Limit Game (duh).
Hence, folding almost all the time on the flop, might add up in a live game, but online..you see so many and the chances to score big are increased.

So (boy I"m johnny come lately on this) playing online lends itself to a tighter..more nut-peddling style..thereby giving you more "brain power" to apply to multiple tables.

true?

I have doubled my buy in at the $20 table at absolute and this is the first time that I have played omaha. People are going all in pre-flop without a low draw, calling a board with two pair on it without having the full house, it is amazing.
