I’ll break out of my norm and answer a non-hold’em question today. Though I’ve played a fair amount of non-hold’em poker, I generally consider myself weaker on the other games than on hold’em, so I try to stick to hold’em-related questions. However, I felt I could write something worth reading ...

Ed,
thanks a lot!
Omaha is tempting, specially after having a look at Steve Badger’s pages. I hope you will address some Hi/Low issues as well, it is probably a bit more popular today.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on PLO8 and NL08, as well, since there’s literally been nothing written about that.

What do you think of point systems like the one at http://www.homestead.com/ehutchison/OmahaSystem.html , for the absolute beginners?

I’ve played a fair amount of limit Omaha, but very little PLO and PLO8, so I won’t have much of value to say about those games until I get some more hours in.

The PNL status looks good now. Mason has the manuscript and it looks like it’s now on the track to get printed. Mason is saying mid-July as of now.

My experience with point systems has been negative. I don’t think they are flexible enough (in general) for poker… even for beginners.

I remember the hold’em point system was really bad. Omaha might lend itself somewhat better to point systems, but I’m skeptical that they can be meaningfully helpful.

Just an idle thought… If you do get some PLO or PLO8 experience under your belt in the next seven or eight months, a short-stack strategy would make an awesome Christmas present for your devoted fans.

I am getting a little sick and tired of people saying stuff like I will try to answer a non Holdem question. Omaha is Holdem. Get it right people! There are 2 Holdem games. Give Omaha its due respect. It is Omaha Holdem. Not PLO Omaha, or plain old Omaha.
