Just a nitpick, but I'd raise here. Every hand that gets there got there
already, and he either has it or he doesn't. He's going batshit crazy
with a flush here, but will slow down with a lot of other hands on the
river (with the exception of AA that is). Your raise here is purely for
value to build a pot so you can get the stacks in on the river in the
event that he doesn't have AA but has something he's willing to go broke
with.

I was thinking that too. I wasn't sure whether to raise or just call. I
went with the call because this guy had been pretty aggressive when he
made his hand and I knew he would bet the river as well. Obviously with
him having AA he wasn't going anywhere no matter what I did. I should have
gone with my thinking for betting on the flop and raised here. One of the
reasons I bet the flop because I figured that I wasn't going to make any
money anyway unless someone had an A with the flush draw minimum so no
reason not to bet it.
I am enjoying learning the game. It seems that there are a few more fish
at PLO in online games than NLHE. At least the ones I've been playing in
these days.

Yes exactly. You'll lose the guys with a lower pair in their hand that
only had 2 outs anyway, but in the long run there's no reason not to bet
there. On the turn the flush card hit AND he led into you. If he doesn't
have a flush/fullboathouse he's shutting down as soon as you call and is
just check/folding the river anyway, but if he does have it, he's getting
money in. Calling and raising the river always works, sure, but I think
in the long run you build a bigger pot by raising the turn. Good thinking
though.

There are, but there's also much less of an edge in PLO. Figure in NLHE
you can get a bad player in as a 75/25 favorite fairly often, but in PLO
you're going to be much closer to 60/40 at best in these same situations.
Still there are a lot of players who play just like holdem and don't
understand the game that play because they can play more hands. These are
the ones to target. Learn which players only ever bet/raise with the nuts
and avoid big pots with them.

Can the reduction of the edge made up by playing more hands? The reason I
think I'm doing OK is that I am a good player after the flop. With
position, I can play quite a few more hands successfully knowing when to
shut down and when to push.
A couple of observations/questions:
Position seems just as important as in Hold'em, maybe more. I'm finding
myself raising only when I have position pre-flop as it seems silly to
raise out of position since so many more hands make it to the turn/river.
Is there any reason to raise in EP in PLO?
Raising from the button or cut-off seems automatic if I'm first or second
entering a pot. With position I want to start building the pot early so if
I hit I can get paid off in later betting rounds. Am I on track with this
thinking? Once 2 have limped in front of me I will usually only raise with
a premium starting hand since there is enough money in the pot to allow
for bigger bets later.
How often do quads show up? I play 2-3 tables at a time and see quads once
a day or every other day (maybe even more). I've probably had quads 3
times in the last week. They actually seem to get paid off a bit more than
in HE too.

The edge has more to do in big hand vs. big hand situations. Like, you
flop top pair, other guy has a pair, flush and straight draws. You are
both probably making correct plays by getting all-in on the flop, but it's
not more than a coinflip either way. You don't want to give a free card
for the draw, the draw doesn't want to miss the opportunity to get both
cards for the same price, so you are both committed to flipping coins for
your stacks.

Depends on the table, but yes. I played 6 handed when I was doing
exclusively PLO so EP was really only UTG and then it didn't make much
sense not to raise. Stilll, you'll see in the videos I did that if I open
limped it was almost always UTG. If you're playing a fairly LAG style I'd
recommend raising everything you plan on opening with just to disguise
some hands.

Yup position is king in Omaha. One thing to spot is the people who love
to check raise. They come from holdem and don't understand the
differences. Against these people just bet your big hands and take the
free card on your draws. A lot of them will get upset that they weren't
able to check raise and bet the turn no matter what it is. Since they
expect you to bet your draws as well they'll give you less credit for when
you actually hit one, so you get a nice pot going.

Hard to say how often, but it sounds about normal for you. They get paid
off because people just don't fold full house boats in PLO, and only a few
will consider folding flushes. Again, holdem mentality is what makes the
game so good.
On another somewhat related note: don't use standard cash game play in
tourneys. I've been doing some PLO sngs lately and the strategy is so
different it's almost a different game. I won't get into it here, but if
you're interested, try a few and see if you can see what I mean.

Ruh row... I'm in a $10 tourney on Stars right now. 136340186 Currently 24
out of 220.
1 or 2 adjustments I should make? I've just been targeting the agressive
ones and the ones that think TPTK is good. Standard tourney strategy for
me, winning without showdown is a good thing.

Let's see, if I had to write up a quick one liner...tourney PLO is a
preflop/flop game whereas cash PLO is a turn/river game. See if that
makes any sense, lol.

I think I played this poorly, but it ended up OK. His turn and river calls
without a set or K high flush seem incorrect. I did try to bet enough on
the river so he would think I was bluffing the flush.Currently 5th out of

Yeah the problem with PLO is it's usually somewhat easy to put them on 2
cards, but the other two can cause all sorts of problems. If he has say
QQ85 here it's much different.

I don't think I'd bet this flop. You have the flush draw sure but you're
up against 4 others. It looks like you can get a free card out of it so
you might as well peel one off. This is a case where you're only getting
called by something that has you in fairly bad shape.

Turn/river look fine though. I might pot the river figuring if he calls
2250 he calls a pot bet. Otherwise looks good. Keep it up, gl!

Thanks, it does. Excepting the first 2-3 levels with 3000 starting chips.
I assume those first few levels still play like a cash game unless there
is a shorty involved.

Yeah pretty much. Watch out for the players who just sit there waiting
for AAxx/KKxx and even QQxx/JJxx and will shove over any raise. There's
less outright stealing later on when these players are all over a table,
as between them they get it often enough to make it a royal pain.
