Omaha? For real??
Yep. That's right. I played some PL Omaha Hi last night. Just for the fun of it. Played around 40 hands winning $11.. Or 44BB.. Nice..

I also played some SnG... Lost a little more than I won... Down about 3Bi... But I felt my Push or Fold game was improving..

Cheers,
Kimber88

BTW. Anyone knows a program that can make graphs and handhistories for Omaha?

Update:
Today I played some more PL Omaha. This game really makes me have some great fun. I only play 1 table so I can follow every hands and learn as much as possible. I will be using much more time on Omaha in the next days.

Here are some stats for the two sessions I played today. An hour an 40 minutes in total:

Game: PL Omaha Hi
Limit: PL25
Hands played: 111
Profit/loss: +$25.47

Anyone knows of a program that can make graphs of omaha games. Poker Tracker Omaha has some graphs but they are really lousy..

Cheers,
Kimber88

EDIT:
Found a graph in PTO that was a little better than the other ones found:

Hello everyone.. Time for a little update..

I have not played any SnG's the last couple of days, because I have had all my focus on PL Omaha.

I'm doing really well. I have tested the waters on four platforms and I have plus $ on all four. Only three of them work with Poker Tracker Omaha (Full Tilt, Party Poker and Everest).. Pacific doesn't.

The three that I can track has a total profit of just over $90, and on Pacific I'm up $45.. That's a total of $135 for about 700 hands. Not that bad.

I will post more graphs and stats when I have a decent sample size..

Cheers,
Kimber88

PS. Is anybody else blogging on PLO in here?

Played some more PL Omaha Hi tonight. I play on Full Tilt atm, so unfrtunately I'm not making any points now.

I played 1 table for about 35 minutes with something like 50 hands or so. Made +$20.

I will post more detailed stats when I get the hand histories copyed to my stats computer.

Cheers,
Kimber88

Time for another Omaha update. The day started really bad and I lost $35 in about 5 minutes. So I told myself To get a f****** grip of myself and I won it back plus another $40. Some stats and a graph of my first thousand hands. (Missing about 150 hands from pacific and about $40 with that).

Session:
Time: 2h
Platform: Party
Game: PL Omaha Hi
Tables: 2
Limit: PL25
Profit/Loss: +$40.69
Game level: Above average

Lifetime graph (yeah it's only 1000 hands, but I think it looks nice):

Small update, since my Poker Tracker Omaha can only hold 1000 hands until I get license.

Variance got back on me last night - and oh she's a bitch. Lost about $50, but I still got a solid profit on PLO.

I have had about $450 spread on different sites, and last night i decided to withdraw them all, so I now only have money on Party and Full Tilt.

Today I'll probabably play a couple of hours on the PLO tables on Full Tilt, and see how they act on a saturday morning.

Problem last night was that friday of course attrackt more fishes, which I thought would be nice, but it resulted in 3- and 4-betting preflop in something like 50% of the hands, and always multiway pots of 4-5 players. Ad everyone seemed eager to raise, re-raise and call with anything, so i could never really commit with anything but the nuts. And when I did I got screwed on the river.

But well. That's poker, and I still win more than I loose, so I'm not too sad about it. I have tried the 7 day free trial on DC and I grab all the PLO videos I can get.

Cheers,
Kimber88

Long time since last update. I have not played much but have managed to loose most of what I won on omaha. Ironically this happened after I started to read about the game and whatch videos. But I still play around with it..

Yesterday I felt like going back to SnG for a while. And it went well. I got ITM in 3 of 4, so that was satisfying. One of them was a $6 Bi, which I won. I played 3 hands before reaching the bubble with about average stack, and then my push or fold game started. The one most important thing I have learned in omaha is PATIENCE, PATIENCE, PATIENCE, POSITION, PATIENCE. It has somehow improved my holdem game, or at least changed my mindset to the better.

Thanks to all who read this blog and for reaching 1k views. :)

Cheers,

I think it's good to learn some other variants of poker, it gan give good insights to your holdem game :)

My blog is slowly dying. Not because I don't want to update, but because I play a lot of different things atm, experimenting with different game types.

Lately I have been going back to SnG, playing the $6 on Party, and so far I'm doing really well.

Anyway, when I get fully back to SnG, I'll start updating more and better. And I might even buy PT3, though I'm really not happy about it, because it doesn't give the right results and payouts in the SnG's, so I have to enter everything manually.

But Someday in the near future, I'll start updating more.

Oh and btw, I played the BOTD last night and came in 2nd (for the Poker Strategists that is), and really had a lot of fun playing it. Cashing $9.45.

Cheers,

Try to master one game ...
If starters go back and forth from one game and the next, they usually fail to excel at any game and stay mediocre at all. :(

I completely understand what you're saying. The reason I have tried other things than holdem is that I get bored if I do the same all the time.

But...

I have decided to give SnG's and some MTT's my full attention now. I want to master it and beat $6. Only one problem:

PokerTracker 3 does a horrible job when it comes to importing SnG's from party. They have fixed the position matter (more or less, it's still not entirely working), but the payout I still have to fix myself. And that really bothers me, cause I have 300+ SnG's that are not correct and that's gonna be a bitch if I should go through all that.

I think I might delete all hand history and start over, and then check the PT result after every single tournament..

Cheers and thanks for replying,
Kimber88
