blonde poker forum

I am going to  start playing omaha can anyone recommend good references for this form of poker? I don't even know what constitutes a good starting hand so nothing too high brow just yet. ( lets start with omaha high)

thanks in advance

is a good start, just don't play for real money until you know what you're doing

be careful.

you will get eaten alive if you don't know what your doing.

BUMP for Smoking Gun

I believe Monty Burns is handy at Omaha. He busted me in Blackpool - even named my exact hand PRE-FLOP!

thats not hard i named his hand before he busted me

The first time i played Dave was at PLO in Barcelona, he busted me! The git! I remember now thinking what a fish he was for calling a pot raise pre flop with AJ86, i still liked my KKxx on the J82 rainbow flop....

It was quite extraordinary. He Raised on the Button, I RR'd on the BB.  He called.

"Don't be putting any Kings on that flop" he says to the dealer. Why so, I asked. "Because you have Kings" he replied. He had A-T xx & flopped 2 pair.

I am just glad Blackpool is over. I have never had so much bad luck in 1 festival

basically if the board shows a posible hand and you dont have that hand then fold ie

if the board pairs be wary of a full house or quads
if the board shows a possible flush someone will have a flush
if the board shows a possible straight someone will have a straight
if you have a pair in your hand and the flop doesnt bring you trips then fold
If your 4 cards are near each other in the deck then its worth playing
If your 4 cards are from 2 suits then its worth playing
If you hold 4 of the same suit then fold
If you hold all 4 suits then fold

If you hold trips or quads, fold instantly.

I've only seen this once. A guy bet out large against me with his hand of AAAA. And there was a straight on the table with 3 of them being the same suit. I did chuckle when I showed the other 2 suited for the straight flush. he said that i only beat him cos i had a straight flush against his 4 aces. i said "no you only have 2 aces" and there the fun started.  :D

Have a VERY LARGE bankroll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you dont like the beats you take at N/L , DONT EVEN BOTHER playing Omaha!

avoid playing with a 'dangler'
like all 4 of your cards

if you thought you played with fish at holdem then you aint seen nothing until you played omaha hi/lo

Perhaps it's time for another Blonde Omaha tournament....

 ;iagree; ;iagree;

A nice little $5 re-buy!!

Aaron!

i would have a go at that....

maybe even claim another bounty.

When do those bounties get paid into your account I wonder (nudge nudge...)

Aaron!

Playing DC at his best game would be fun...

i'm up for a Blonde Omaha  tourney....can we get one sorted?

$5 omaha rebuy... Now how to get $500 dollars in the blonde account so i can afford the rebuys!!!

I know play flush at omaha, what table james?

My advice is play the streets, DONT gamble with draws, fish pay you off when you hit anyway.
