How do you avoid becoming a nut peddler in Omaha?

try a very loose open raising range and check/raise a ton.

Couldn't agree more. I'd add playing HU PLO for a little time too because that'll force you to open up. I've found PLO is a game where people are so afraid of a better hand (LDO). Much more so than NLHE. And, even though it's PLO, your opponent isn't hitting monsters non-stop. They really aren't. You have to know when to fold big hands but just spend some time mashing the pot button and, like Pete said, throwing in a lot more c/raising and you'll notice the difference.

I play almost entirely HU PLO and your average HU PLO player is no where near as good at dealing with aggression than the average HU NLHE player. If you can compliment ridic aggression with an ability to lay down massive hands when need be, you'll soon be driving your opps insane.

Some of the crap people are willing to get it arrr-in with after being quite disciplined for 20 minutes play is hilarious.

Just loosen up in position baaaaby

I'm sure this can be explained by my c-betting frequency is higher in PLO than NLHE and I get away with it. People are simply not continuing passed the flop without a solid hand. They don't want to risk playing a big pot without the goods.

Notwithstanding that, you have to know when you switch gears regarding the c-betting. I think this advice pertains well to the average to inexperienced opponent. To the thinking player, trim your c-betting a little more as they are better at picking spots to raise/c/raise you and put you to a decision.

I play mostly in the 50 and 100 games (buyin not blinds). and i find it very difficult to know when to cont bet in many instances. i basically turned myself into a nit because of a massive downswing due to too many noobs calling massive river bets with bottom 2 pair...etc. i basically went with a "dont bluff anyone with a large vpip" strategy. but after my massive downswing i am 10x more timid on the button and i feel like potting it pre with 3 or more limpers (basically every hand) with moderate vpips is just a losing proposition without the goods. what do i need to do?? i feel like the opposite of what you said with better players being more bluffable.

btw i basically never cr bluff. should i employ this instead of betting into what turns out to be an even money bet?
