How Would You Play It? KsQh5s4h

One of the most important purposes of this blog is to provide a forum for Omaha players to discuss how to play certain hands. I hope that through looking at why we play or don't play certain hands, we can all develop a greater knowledge of the game. So what would you do with this hand??

Pre Flop Raisers??? Again

One of the other reasons that pre flop raisers do so poorly in Omaha is that they become pot committed way too early. They have put in twice as much money as they should have to see the flop and find out if they really have any thing to build a great hand. It gets even worse when there are two idiots at the table who keep raising everything. Now you get huge pots, the flop comes and they feel they need to keep going. Watch for these people! They can drain your stack very quickly.

50% + 50% = $$$

The discussion today has to do with playing Omaha in a Sit'n'go. It could be either limit or pot limit, doesn't seem to matter. Two statistics that are important are,
1) The % of flops seen and
2) The win % if the flop is seen.

If you have close to 50% in each of these areas, You are going to win some money!!

If you are seeing more than 50% of the flops, you are playing too loose and you need to tighten up. The 50% may be too high, depending on how aggressive the table is. If you are at a table with a lot of pre flop raisers and big raisers, then your % needs to go down and wait until the idiots have beaten themselves up.

As your win % approaches 50% you will see your stack going up.

Keep track of these statistics over time and see what %ages you need at your site.
