A3xx can be terrible at 10-handed tables because you need a 2 and another player can have A3. You don't want to be playing for just half the pot. I've seen some guys call an all-in with A2 low draw and no high, basically risking their stack to get their 1bb back.

The low is 5 cards, Ace(1) to 8 where 8 is the worst card. You read numbers backward. So like 23 is better than A4 because your highest card is lower with 23. 23 is third best, A4 is forth best, A5 is the seventh best.

The best starting hand is AA23ds because you have almost no chance of losing the low and you have the pair of Aces with 2 nuts flush draw.

Here are some hands that play well multi-way:
A2xx with some kind of high draw
A2pp (pocket pair)
A3xxs (Ace high flush draw)
A23x
A24x
A25x
2345
2346
AA3x Normally this is better to isolate but because the players are so bad you can just open shove pre flop.

High cards will play much better heads-up. So if you play heads-up, you're looking for hands that do well on both sides. 789 are the worst cards.

I mostly play NL because over betting some hands is the way to go.

If you end up with the nuts low on the river, it's unlikely that your high is good unless you had a straight draw, a wheel draw, or a flush draw to go with it. This is why you don't play any A2 or A3.

Let's say you're on the river (not turn) and you have the nuts low and a random pair. The pot is a decent size of about 15-20% of your stack. You can make a semi bluff all-in, this will do 2 things. A random 2 pairs hand will most likely fold because you're repping a monster. But the nuts low or even sometimes the second nuts low will call. If he has the nuts low, it's unlikely that your pair of 8 is beat. In this case, you will take 3/4 of the pot and take half of his stack.

This semi bluff can also be used as a set-up play as you will be shoving your nuts low + flush in later hands.

You can also shove a non-splittable nuts high with no low. Do not shove double second nuts.

Full ring omaha hi/lo is very straight forward but when you get down to heads-up it gets more complicated. But even heads-up you can build massive pots with your pair + nuts low.

Now for dry boards in omaha hi/lo. They are not the same as hold'em.

K72r in Omaha hi/lo is a semi wet board as there are low draws and everybody loves them. They can also have a King with cards higher than 7 for a 2 pairs draw.

89T all hearts. This is the most wet board for Hold'em but in omaha hi/lo, you either have something strong or you're drawing dead. The only draws are full house draws. This is because in omaha, you need to use exactly 2 cards from your hand and 3 cards from the board.

Flops with 2 high cards, 1 low card, and no Ace are often good to stab heads-up. There are no low draw and if there are no flush draw it's even better.

Cool thx myself. I never really thought about that 23 is better than A4 or that K72r is a semi wet board, but it makes a lot of sense.

Is there no site that are able to track from betonline? Like sharkscope or pokertableratings?

I haven't played in almost 6 weeks but now I'm back.

I am no longer aiming for most profit but instead I will put more time into making my own video game. It's been in development for nearly a year and progressing a bit slow due to the massive learning required.

I was surprised to see 5 full tables of omaha hi/lo last night. Stakes were something like 10, 10, 25, 50, 100. I played a bit of PL100 and with a flop% between 50 and 60 I can literally play these guys with no read and still make a living.

If you're interested in playing omaha hi/lo. All you need is a basic strategy for playing full tables and a bankroll of about $100 due to their lowest stake being 0.05/0.10. You can also add me on Skype and I'll be happy to talk strategy with you for free.

I would love to make a video with you playing Omaha hi/lo as I have no idea how to play it and sounds like it may be quite interesting to explore what you're doing.

This is exactly what I want to do. I am not the best player but you don't need much to win at BetOnline.

Btw is there any reason you never replied on Skype in the past few days?

Yes I've had no internet for the last few days so have just mainly updated from my iphone.

I'm back up ad running with a new hub today.

I'm so going to have to buy a back up dongle.

I have just seen the most ridiculous bug on this site today.

One guy was 3-betting big pre flop and then got 4-bet shoved and the guy who originally 3-bet was unable to call. Each time he pressed call the action would just blink back to him. After about 2 minutes the guy finally folded.

I thought this was due to the 4-bet being less than 1bb higher but it turns out to be just over 1bb.

I took a video of it and here's a screenshot.
