Poker Blog of the Week
Pot Limit Omaha has nowadays become the game of choice for the nosebleed stakes pros, whenever they turn up for a big session. This week, we feature one a blog from kojika, who is an Omaha player and is currently battling away at the PLO100 tables.
If you like cute, funny and generally awesome pictures, his blog is full of them! kojika reports that he has been running a bit cold recently. So, drop by his thread and warm him up by showering him with some of that famous English Community love.
Hot Poker Thread of the Week
petterg2
argues that EV (expected value) graphs do not accurately represent how good or bad you are running. He says that "the graph is only based on the equity you have when going all in, no
matter if you put 95 % of the stack in as a favourite and the last 5 % as
an underdog" and "it also doesn't account for sick setups".
Do you agree with his analysis or are you a firm believer in using the EV line as a gauge of how well you have been running? Post your opinions in our Thread of the Week.
