Jam-Fly 8 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Is there any book on Pot limit and/or fixed limit Omaha. you see i dont play hi/lo, but want to learn more about omaha but not waste money on omaha hi/lo. A book with Omaha, hold em, 7stud AND hi/lo is okay, but one with alot of info on PLO Link to post Share on other sites
HurricaneKyle 0 Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 SS2 has a pretty good chapter on PLO by Lyle Berman. Sadly at the moment, there isn't enough literature on PLO. However I have heard that Rolf Sloothboom(I know I just butchered the guys name)of Cardplayer who writes mostly about Omaha is coming out with a book on PLO this year.

greatwhite 0 Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Omaha Hold'em Poker and Pot Limit & No Limit Poker are the 2 best books IMHO. Link to post Share on other sites

Its in a quiz form, but, it gives u a different take on playing PLO that most to write about. He is a bit on the loose side and plays a semi-LAG style, so, its not for everyone. But, its a great book to learn a different style from, and get into the mind of a great PLO player and the hands themselves. I wish that someone like Tony Bloom or Colclough would write a PLO book, but, I guess that won't happen. There might be more literature on teh other side of the pond as its a big game there Link to post Share on other sites

The problem with Reuban's How Good is Your Pot Limit Omaha is that it's hands are played in an agressive cash game and many plays simply would not work in the lower limits.

SS2 will give you a good groundwork to get into the game, then just play and learn. This game has a ton of feel to it and learning when you are up against the nuts and when you can play marginal holdings can only be done by feel. The game also changes drastically by the limit you play and even the site you play at. Higher limit live games are another totally different animal. ps K-Dawg..... the line from it's ice is actually: "He's fallen on the ice, it cracks. Will he plunge in and join me here?"

Rocketwadster 0 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I personally don't find Slotboom to be weak-tight, I find him to be well informed, very knowledgeable, and a winning player. If that equals being labelled as weak-tight, then sign me up. Link to post Share on other sites

He'd get killed playing in the states plating how he does. seriously, read his LHE stuff and tell me how its good, cause I'd love to hear how it is Link to post Share on other sites

Don't use his Limit Holdem thoughts (I disagreed with many of his Limit Holdem Qizzes answers) to sway your opinion of his Omaha game. I would love to know how you can correlate his Omaha play to someone who would get killed playing here in the US (not saying you are wrong, just wondering what info you are using to make that claim)...

He is a nut peddler, what can I say Link to post Share on other sites

He is a nut peddler, what can I sayHis tight/agressive style works best in the low limits, where everyone is loose/passive and loose/agressive. If you want to get agressive you need to play in the higher limits and shorthanded where you can find a table full of Rolfs. Link to post Share on other sites
