Omaha Hi-Lo

[Cloud]

After the Betfred PL Omaha Hi-Lo game I thought I'd have a go at a couple of sit and go's. Both times I have finished 2nd in 10 seater Stt's. From what I have seen so far - the luck factor doesn't seem as prominent as in hold-em, and the better players will have a higher winning percentage. Is that a fair assessment? - or I have played in too few games?

Re: Omaha Hi-Lo your quite correct omaha hi-lo is a bit of a specialist game quite often holdem players wallow at this game most common mistake is forgetting they have to use 2 cards from hand you are dealt 4 cards and you need all 4 working for you ie A-2-K-3, This hand covers the lowend and the possibility of high hand also avoid hands like K-J-10-2 you only have 3 cards working for the top end its vitally important that all 4 cards work together misconception made by many players also is raising with A23 or A2 preflop what for ????????you want people in not to slim the field, a tip i was told by a tournement player whom i have the greatest respect for is never raise preflop because its impossible to bluff preflop at hi-lo someone will always be playing for high someone will always play for low it is a flop game and knowing the nuts at any given moment is vitally important also drawing to 2nd nuts can be very expensive
