I went looking for LOH resources given that the only mid-limit game in Detroit is a round-by-round mix of LHE and LOH. Glad to find this!

Compared to PLOH, it’s clear that low flush draws add a lot less to a hand. In deep PLOH you’re much happier if your wrap+low FD can freeroll a similar wrap, made straight, etc. You can deny a naked NFD odds to chase, although they may chase anyway. In LOH you’re going to get called by the same wrap/straight in one hand and the big FD in another hand, so you’re really just hoping to make a straight on a rainbow board.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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