I've had the hugest swings and biggest bankrolls busted playing Omaha. Is it me or is variance just so much higher in Omaha?
Kudos to the couple of members that took away a nice chunk of points from me last night playing PLO in the client.
I'm sticking to texas holdem from now on. Any chance we can get a stud table or a 100/200 Full Limit Holdem table added to the client?
you either loose a lot of money in it or win a tone it sucks i know.
It's such a roller coaster that it effects my mood too much. I'm either super excited or pissed off like no other. I can't take it anymore. My family is starting to worry. Lol. :DQuote:

I agree with the Pooffer. I find Omaha Hi Low to be an easier game to play then regular Omaha. Sticking to good starting hands are easier and being able to split or 3/4 a pot until you get a good scooper can keep you a float and in the game longer until you get those pay offs.
I don't care for Omaha at all and yes the variance is much higher no matter. imo. Wish ZAB would set up a Limit Razz or Rash or even Horse table. JustSayn................
I run into the same problems when playing on Carbon. I'm know that the play in the client is not equal to the play on a site for real money.
The things i've been experiencing and struggling with are happening on both.
Omaha is a tough game, you must know what your doing in order to see big profits. gl at the tables and I hope you don't quit omaha.
I regularly play on Carbon and win in the micro levels very easily. I find being uber aggressive in PLO is the key to success. It's a lot like FL Hold em, you have to invest heavily into your draws. In PLO you have a lot of hands where you may be on several draws at once giving you a high percentage to win the hand. Investing in these hands is crucial to winning in the long run. It's impossible to sit back and wait for the big hands to come and get paid on them.Quote:

Omaha is one brutal game. You have to be able to lay down what was the nuts before the next card came.
Yeah I get screwed regularly at PLO in client. But it affords me the opportunity to play PLO for less value than real money. So that is why I do it. I enjoy the game but I don't play for real money, just in client. I am fully aware of the fact I don't play it well.
is .. one hour you are cash rich at the same time but you can not have a fallen and lost everything
Ya, I'm not a huge fan of the Omaha but it is a nice change of pace sometimes.
I stick to omaha FR SNGs on Hero and occasionally their nightly micro stakes MTT.
Omaha is just a lick game. most of the people online just throw money and almost anything
What do you expect from a game named after a State in the US that nobody wants to live in.
Omaha is a city, not a state.Quote:

omaha is craziness... once on client i went from 100 points to 200 on nl holdem and then went from 200 to almost 11k in like and hour playing client omaha...
but yesterday in the horse freeroll i was in first place almost then entire way through h o r s e the second time when omaha smashed my stack.. i had a boat and lost to a straight flush
it sucked
Meh ... have no interest in Omaha at all. I know some guys who love the game, though they can't say why.
omaho bot game
You think? It's obvious that Omaha is a lucky donk game compared to NL Holdem'. Lot's of bad beats because of the river in Omaha bro. I only play freerolls with the fewest players on occasion. It's often a waste of time and cash if you persist at it.
