Re: The $5 Buy In
I think you are looking at two diferent situations.
Minimum buy-ins are usually a characteristic of inexperienced players. They have played Limit O8b and use the lost limit to reduce cost in case they loose. With $5 they really can't win much & as soon as they post blinds a few rounds they are next to insignificant. They have no implied odds & don't give any implied odds. Just playing limit omaha 8b with minimum risk. Just watch'm chase to chop pots and pay rake. They usually prevent scoops unless they counterfiet low or they get lucky playing middle connectors.
Short stack strategy would be buy-in for $10 to $15 in a $25 table. Play tight get your money in as a favorite. Hope it holds up if someone plays with you. Much like PLO-hi.
Minimum buy-ins are loosers. Most don't know O8b & fewer know PLO8b. They are there for giggles when they scoop miracles for $2 to $4.
If the tables have more than 2 mini-buy-ins, it's a waste of time to play the table,unless you have someone else throwing a party.
