Bleh. I don't mind the beats and coolers as much as I despise the extended periods where you just raise preflop and have to fold the flop, or you flop a set and have to fold when the straight hits the turn. You end up leaking chips very quickly and there's nothing you can do. After a reasonable start, that's what my session has descended to. Long periods of not winning pots.

I have to post this hand: I played it *sooo* horribly, that after the river, I just started laughing uncontrollably (think of the "weed brownies, high stakes poker" Youtube video for a mental picture of my reaction to the river card).

Quick question Omaholics...Is it generally not a good idea to play hold em' and omaha at the same time? Not generally at the same time, but for example I play for a couple hours on omaha then jump into a hold em' MTT... I've made money in Omaha but I'm in my worst slump for tourneys, haven't cashed in 16 straight..-Ian

It depends on the individual.FWIW I don't usually have a problem transitioning between the two games if it's cash -> cash or tourney -> tourney, but going from PLO cash to NLHE tourney and back can take a little time to adjust.

I am on ***SUPER MONKEY TILT*** right now.I am getting owned by the ***BIGGEST FISH*** on stars right now. He's playing 93/9/0.7 through 42 hands. Calls *everything*, raises *only* when he has a *monster hand*......and yet he has taken me for $1,400 so far...*sigh*EDIT: He just took $500 off some one else. Man he is *luck*-owning this tableEDIT 2: He just busted a tight shark for $500.i swear, this guy runs hotter than Mark!

[bdc30 0]

Played ~800 hands of $50 plo. I much prefer that level to $25, for a number of reasons. Bigger pots, more players putting money in the middle, looser play in general.. $25 can be pretty nitty.

Is it even worth raising with aces in low limit omaha?Aces have only won 3 times the past 10 hands I have been dealt them...

It depends on the rest of your raising range. If you're raising a wide range then raise aces almost every time. If you're not raising much preflop then limping is ok with trashier aces (AA72 rainbow for example).A sample size of 10 isn't nearly enough to give any indication whatsoever of how well/badly you are playing AAxx, but I'm sure you realise that.

Oh I know that.... I just like to bitch and complain..Generally i'm not very agressive pre-flop.. I raise my big hands and occasionally get clever with a modest hand, lol those are the ones that usually generate the most profit...Here's a good example.. Just got Dealt Ad2dAc5c in EP... Didn't raise this time, straight cards fell on the flop, had to dump it to betting.. sigh.. at least i got away cheaply..

[bdc30 0]

That's one thing I'd like to get MORE aggressive with it raising preflop. What types of hands do you guys raise? I've got about 6k hands in this month, and my pfr is only around 6%. I think it should be higher at these games and limits. I'm running about 27/6/1.7 fwiw.

I love raising with double suited connectors.. hmm those are deliciousQuestion... How do I get PokerEv to work.. or how do I load my hands on to it?

[bdc30 0]

PokerEV takes your hands directly from your pokertracker database - do you use PTO?Pahud is another tool I've found greatly useful.I know what you're saying about raising double suited connectors and such. Where I fall off is what to do when faced with either a re-pot, or on a whiffed flop. Usually I just check/fold, but I'm wondering if a little more wreckless aggression can get paid off enough to make it worthwhile.

Ahhhh it needs pokertracker.. i need to get that first and foremost..

[simo_8ball 0]

Sorry, I just feel an insatiable need to point this out - Reckless means 'indifferent to or disregardful of consequences'.Wreckless means 'without a wreck'.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I will open raise with hands like AsJcTs5d (three high cards with a suited ace) in most positions, or with hands like 5689ss. If I'm against a LAG player (over about 15% PFR) I will also consider reraising these hands in position.

[donk4life 34]

LMAO..Played for 3 hours today.. lost another 3 buy ins..Only got 50 bucks left on AP... not enough to play any omaha..Simply ridiculous.. 1 guy took 2 of the buy ins by calling with absolutely nothing on the flops and backdooring flushes each time.. Last time I am dealt KK1010ss hit the second nut flush on the river, he hits runner runner for the nut flush.. of course I go broke...

[bdc30 0]

One for bud&simo...Normally I'm 4-tabling $25max, but last night I was 2-tabling $50 max. I find that accomplishes two things - one, I pay more attention to the table that I'm on and two - it holds my interest more, since the stakes are a little higher and I can pay closer attention with less tables on the go.Does this way of thinking make any sense? What's the potential effect on rakeback and bonuses by playing this way - does it make any difference at all?

[simo_8ball 0]

You're far more likely to go broke playing 2 $50 tables than with 4 $25 tables.I don't know how it will impact rakeback though.
