Having a Good Day Playing Omaha Hi/Lo
I decided to play a little bit of Omaha Hi/Lo today and it’s going pretty good right now. I have also changed my screenname to “adioking” so that’s the player you should be paying attention to now. I don’t play this game very often, but it looks like maybe I will play some more in the future. However, there was a hand where I was totally gambling, although I did have a straight flush and nut flush draw. Any diamond would have put me in for the win, as I was sure that my opponent didn’t have a full house by the way he was betting.

Here’s a hand where I tried to extract as much as possible from the second best hand. However, the best hand decided that he wanted to raise the pot and pushed the second best hand out.

I do find that I’m playing online less and less though. I’m not sure quite why, but playing online just seems boring sometimes. Of course, I think that there are a lot of fish playing online, especially in Omaha games, but I’d much rather up the stakes a little bit and play a live no limit Holdem game such as $2-$5 NL Holdem. I’m sure you’ll read some of my future blogs where I write about hands I’ve played in Las Vegas at the $2-$5 tables.
