Omaha is Game of Illusions

https://www.eastcotesignanddisplay.co.uk/79tes69c9t Almost every hand in Omaha, especially high-low split, looks like it has great possibilities. Everyone envisions a winner.  Of course, that’s not true.  There are over 5,000 combination of cards in every hand dealt.  You need patience and discipline to wait for good starting hands.All four hole cards need to work together.  If that doesn’t happen, be prepared to fold. Omaha…

Change Directions

https://nycfoodguy.com/2024/01/31/e8j9jf6bl Shortly before the pandemic, I played in a tournament at one of the most interesting tables I’ve ever experienced; loose calls, no regard to position, and testosterone-fueled aggression.  What to do?  I simply shut down, relaxed, played only super premium hands, and let the uber-warriors knock each other out.   And, they did.  I basically folded my way stress-free to…

Rabbit Hunting

source A Poker Rant: Not sure how you feel about “rabbit-hunting” but, to me, it’s annoying and slows down the game.  “Rabbit-hunting” is when a player (who folded) asks to see the turn and/or river after the game is over.  Why?  To see if they made a good fold or should have stayed in.  Do they feel better or worse?  Yes,…
