Re: Crash course in PLO needed
Of course, this is true - I shouldn't say never bluff and made it seem inconsequential - this is not true, but I do think bluffing in Omaha should be approached differently. 50% of players seeing the flop online and in Omaha, that spells trouble for bluffing fools who may not appreciate all variables in Omaha.
My point is simply that the amount of bluffing that one can use successfully in NLHE is far greater than in PLO. Am I really that far off here? I usually come out on top against these players, especially in tournaments. I'm way ahead in PLO; it's the PLO8 I am struggling with at 50%.
For someone who wants a crash course, I don't think 'behaving' like a typical NLHE player is a good approach to PLO when you are against players who have a better feel for the game and it's 'bad beats'. Guarding against it is probably a better approach at first, no? Even mostly conservative play during a session in PLO can get you out with a profit.
