Re: Which poker variation is most exploitable by pure math strategy?
Aaron,
My thinking (yes occaisionally I try to think) runs something like this; preflop in Pot Limit Omaha one hand is never a huge (big) favorite over another. Unlike holdem where the best hand A,A is about a 4 to 1 favorite over the next best hand, the best hand in PLO may be about 2 to 1 and most match ups are much closer. Consider next that one can always offer precisely 2 to 1 odds. This has a dramatice effect on ones ability to determine (precisely) correct odds to give or take. Post flop play is where most money goes in and where considerable information is available to determine one`s play. Even though one gets more cards at Omaha it is much easier to put ones opponent on a hand and what it takes to beat him once the flop is out. It is a game very much controlled by the nuts and draws and redraws. It is not a game in which bluffing plays much of a role.
