Re: Tough Spot PLO8

Re: Omaha 8 article -- The Flaws
The main point of Buzz's article—that a scoop out is better than 2 times a split out in terms of net winnings is irrefutable. But that is patently obvious to anyone who has spent more than 2 minutes...

I believe the correct way to use the equity calculators is as follows: let's say you have 25% equity in a pot. Your opponent bets $25 into a $50 pot. So after this betting round the pot...

That you're getting great odds to defend the big blind (or complete from the small blind) is generally an illusion. In general, you don't defend because you have favorable odds.
