  1. I actually had ATAT double suited. Is two pair a decent hand in Omaha h/l? Should it be treated like you said KQJT? Two pair is the only hand I'm really unsure of how to play.
  2. Stu Ungar's bluff on Ron Stanley was a very interesting hand in the '97 final table with QTo. Stanley didn't have much of a hand to call him with, though.
  3. rxq, I wasn't putting you down or anything :PThanks for the help, everyone. I'll definitely get SS2... the main reason I liked this game initially was that there is a lot of money being thrown around by a lot of players that clearly have no idea what they're doing. The fact that there AREN'T a million people writing books about this game and analyzing it to death like they are hold'em is what attracted me. I understood the basic concept that going for scooping was more important than just chasing the high or low... and I figured that was enough to beat most of the people that play.Anyway, t
  4. Maybe I need to find a new game :)Are the swings in Omaha HL that magnified to where a single pot can decide a winning or losing session? If that's the case, I need many, many more bullets to play in 2/4. I can think of only one pot tonight where there was more than $120 in the middle, and I had the best of it until the river.

I really don't intend to flood you with bad beat stories
  5. I started playing Omaha hi/lo recently, and I don't know what my problem is. I seem to be on a constant downward spiral, despite playing better starting hands than everyone and using good, common sense as to when to get out of a hand. I don't think I'm really all that predictable because I get action in every pot I enter.A good example of what it's been like for me would be a hand I had tonight where I had a set of tens that happened to be the nuts until the river, when a queen hit. Guy with 39QQ rainbow scoops the pot.What am I doing wrong? Is there some general strategy to limit omaha hi
  6. I can't decide whether to laugh or just slap you, jog.
  7. http://cardplayer.com/poker_magazine/archi...ves/?a_id=13951That's Hellmuth's side of the story, but I've yet to find the article Daniel originally wrote about doing this in his home games.
  8. I can vaguely recall reading in one article (I can't remember which) about how Mr. Negreanu occasionally sits down at a game and agrees with the rest of the table to play one player's folded hands as though they were dealt to him.I was reading something from Phil Hellmuth about a game a few pros were playing together on a cruise and Daniel did this with Phil's hands and came out a winner.My question is this. Why would Daniel allow a former World Champion and arguably one of the best players of all time to watch him play every hand and possibly find some tell or pattern with the distinct advan
