learning PLO

im having a go at taking up plo and was wondering if anybody had any suggestions for books/articles/anything that might help. i play a lot of holdem and feel like i get the basic parts of the game but definitely lacking in the omaha-specific front. any suggestions?

Rolf Slotbloom's book is pretty much the PLO bible. Other than that the only advice is get it in much lighter than first seems reasonable, people like folding non nut hands in mid/low stakes omaha.

Read's Rolf's book but much prefer this -
"POT-LIMIT OMAHA POKER: The Big Play Strategy" by Jeff Hwang.

rolf slotbloom all the way.otherwise try and have a chat with dave penley , marco clare or richard cowley as they are just wizards in omaha cash games.aces are so badly overplayed and the excellent
Martyn
Cavanagh
tells me that even in the wsope the standard of omaha is pretty awful with players being unable to fold hands like
and
for huge bets and raises.

has rolf got a new book out or something? the one i have read is a decent book for a single low skill strategy, a good starting point maybe but a long long way from being the bible. Better stuff on 2+2 and other info sites.

this maybe true but if you read the gentlemans initial quote , he says he wants a starting point and there is simply none better than rolfs book my friend.

Get yourself on the low stakes cash tables asap.
Lose your buy in several times.
Post your questionable hands on PHA board on Blonde.
Get ripped to shreds by Flushy and Floppy.
Improve.
Win your money back.
You're welcome.

Just to clarify when I say get it in lighter than you think I don't mean reedic light and I don't usually mean preflop, down the streets people make more bad folds in omaha than they do in HE. Still think Rolf's book is pretty much the bible for someone starting to play omaha.

yeah, i plan on doing this but i cant bring myself to not open up the holdem tables once iv opened the lobby. i should really get cracking. iv played a couple of live sessions but not enough to have had that many interesting spots. i'll have to start cracking open the tables soon.
my housemate has got 'how good is your plo?' by stewart reuben and reckons its a good book, anyone read it? also, how good is the plo section of supersystem? i bought it a while ago having been told its great for holdem and found it worse than useless. is it any good for anything?

I think Stewart Reuben's book is ridiculously bad since it deals with his own personal experiences playing people he has played with for years instead and congratulates you when you play 'as good as him', also it deals with deep live cash and not 100BB's online so incredibly different. I've written a couple of things on PLO somewhere (albeit very basic) I'll see if I can dig them out.

I'd be interested to see these as well Floppy if poss. You can never get too much basic information.
Loads of basic information is far more useful than a little bit of advanced information imo.
