Default Re: Farha on Omaha - Anybody read it yet?

I read about 1/3 of it (not a specific third but random sections) and skimmed the rest. I wasn't very impressed.

Writing style is not good. Has a TJ Cloutier book feel to it.

Not very long and seems to just cover basic stratigy. A third of the book is on the dead game limit omaha high. I don't think I read any advice that was horrific though.

Couple funny things... Sammy mentions that part of his success is good bankroll management. Then he goes on to tell a story about how once he had a huge draw on the flop that would be +EV to get his stack in. However, he decides to fold instead because it was the last hand of the night and he wanted to make sure he had a winning session. He also said that you should 'run it twice' when you are ahead because there are a lot of good cards in the deck for you but should only run it once when you are behind because you need to get lucky to win. (Whatever the hell that means.)
