    omaha hi/low

    Limit or PL? If PL, have a bankroll and yes Doyle's book covers it. There are many other books, just google it. Omaha is a blood game, you really need to be able to have excellent hand reading ability, and be able to fold huge hands. Straights and flushes included. You also cannot play...

    Tilt I would try and give advice, but my name says it all :laugh:

    Hard 17

    Dude, drop it. Thanks for the meaningful parts of your post, the other crap is not needed. I've received what I was looking for. Again, I was not intending to "offend" you. (that part made me laugh by the way). And yes, I'm a noob. Been in the game for a while, but still learning. If you knew...

    Hard 17

    Thanks, I use the simple hi-lo with no side counts. I am learning the hard way to just ask specific people certain questions. Thanks again, much appreciated.

    Hard 17

    Tough Crowd Yeah thanks :eek: it's not that I meant I was going against BS, I've been counting long enough to know where my advantage is. Thanks for the advice, I will check that link out. I received a PM explaining just what I was looking for.

    Hard 17

    Well Mr. Freightman, I see what you are saying and could see why you would think so. Fact is, you don't know me. I can assure you I am more than capable, but would never attempt to belittle someone with knowledge I have or may think I have. Maybe I asked the question the wrong way, or maybe you...

    Thanks Mr. Flash, at least you can come up with something for me to ponder. I appreciate the response.

    Hard 17

    I think gritting my teeth and standing would be the ignorant way to go about it if it's a possibility to determine the math behind it. Unfortunate for me, I am not the math genius that some of you are. Come on, all these great minds and you're telling me there is no index for this type of play...

    Hard 17

    I know, nothing like a mid to max bet with hard 17 vs. one of those 3 cards. In my mind, I'm thinking surrendering and standing are the same or maybe a little better one way. I'm requesting the sim to determine just that.

    Hard 17

    I don't know if this has been discussed before but would it be possible for someone to run a sim to determine how many times hard 17 loses to 9, 10 and ACE? I would assume one hundred thousand hands would be sufficient, but I do not own and have never used the sim programs. I'm trying to...

    Hi. Where should I start? Texas hold'em.

    Whoa Bankroll management is huge, so if you only have $2500 and sit down with it all, you are just silly. This also implies you think you will playing something like $5/$10 NL... If you study for a year and play small ball poker for a year and hit a $5/$10 NL table, you will get crushed...

    Hi. Where should I start? Texas hold'em.

    Luck is not key, but a little factor. I don't like the "whole lot more luck is needed" statement, but you are new to the game and you will learn that although short term luck is factor, luck alone will not and cannot beat this game in the long term. The luck factor applies to tournaments...

    Hi. Where should I start? Texas hold'em.

    The grind Alot of people think (especially those new to the game) that poker is easy. Especially Hold em. Limit is ABC, but the "One bet to call factor" kills alot of people. No Limit is alot different because every hand you get involved in risks your stack. People think they can just get...

    Hi. Where should I start? Texas hold'em.

    If you have never played Hold em before, I don't recommend going to a casino for a while. I don't care if you think you can "read people like a book", when money is involved it's a different ball game. Read some books on poker. Start with the basics. Doyle's Power Poker is a good start. It will...
