Quality limit O/8 Discussion

[shipitfish]

Over on bobby_the_worm's journal, I'm involved in a thoughtful and good discussion about playing a large limit O/8 pot with a likely drawing-dead high draw and a counterfeitable nut low draw. The discussion will bore to sleep all you HE-only players, but if you have an interest on what we Omaha-holics get so excited about that “four card game”, take a look.

I've been reading OE and eight or better stuff lately but haven't had a chance to play. All the big games at Foxwoods that have HE have omahah/l and eight or better but I can't play in them since I can't play either of those games. lol. I am not sure how to get better. Any suggestions?

I doubt it's all that helpful, but I wrote an entry that mentions most of the way my thinking works in O/8. Not sure how it can help you, since you're talking about higher limit games where you need different strategies to beat knowledgeable players.

That is okay-- I am more concerned with beating players playing .25/.50 right now. I'll focus on trying to beat the knowledgable players once I become one myself. :)

Oh, ok. You mentioned getting into the big mixed games, which is why I thought high stakes. Yes, the stuff I mentioned will be a big help against .25/.5 players. That Tenner book puts forward the right approach for those games.
