[Supwithbates]

I've been bored lately and mixing up game selection. A few things I've noticed:

uPLO games are verrrrry soft. Running reasonably, 100bb/100 seems to be a realistic winrate up to .25/.50. Keep in mind that I know absolutely nothing about Omaha, I don't even know how to calculate my chances of winning. I'm also up about 7 buyins. It seems to me like it's sooo much easier to flop a combo draw, opponents are stupid and slowplay hands like sets but then stack off when you hit your 18 outer. Heck, I don't even REALLY know what a good hand is and what isn't, I just try to play hands like connected doublesuited hands, AKxx double suited, and big pairs trying to set the flop.

50NLHE headsup can be soft but has such variance that I don't think I could be a profitable grinder there. I played a complete passive fish today and it took me almost 150 hands to take 55$ from him. I don't expect most opponents will be so soft.

Razz/Stud/etc. are probably soft but the difference from Hold'em seems greater than in Omaha so my basic poker theory understanding seems to be less of an asset in those games. Plus it's harder to quickly extract from the droolers in limit games, and the hi/lo thing is harder to put opponents on ranges, you'll expect to have the best hand and end up quartering it and losing $.
