now i get it.

contibution places r great if you move up in limits and play shorthanded.

if you play higher yr game better be good or else bonus and rkb wont matter.

is everyone here part of the 5% that actually win playing the game?

sir, why cant you clear bonus and work on game at same time. worked for me and i did get better at plo ,plo hi low.

I clear all the bonuses on OnGame at FR PLO micro stakes easily. I play about 35% vpip which is not tight but not donkishly loose either. Basically I play any 4 cards in last 2-3 positions then tight elsewhere.

Bonuses wont help you if you are a habitual losing player, but they do mean the difference often, between just beating the rake and a decent return.

Good bonus whoring is essential for micro stakes players imo, because rake hits us the hardest.

I'll start by saying I know nothing about Omaha. What I will say is that in SH FL Hold'em, 35% VPIP isn't that ridiculous. I'd say a good player would more often fall into the high 20's, but I would think there are plenty of winning players well into the 30's. Especially 5-handed. Not sure how well that translates to Omaha.

In Omaha you can get away with playing more hands preflop, but only if you are good at reading relative hand values on the flop. I tend to play more speculative hands when there is a lot of weak tight, nut peddlers, of which there are many at micro stakes PLO. I'm sure my overall numbers come from a mix of sessions with 45/5 and others where I play more TAG at 23/15. It really depends on the table.

Hmmmm, you seem skeptical. I have no reason to lie, and I'm still at micro limits 25PLO and 50PLO because I would have only 20 buy ins at 100PLO, which is no where near enough.

Not only am I not losing much, but i'm beating the ridiculous amount of rake by quite a margin.

I wont be giving you my SN on PR, I wouldn't do that anyway, but certainly not after the tone of your post and you now know my stats over a fairly large sample. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I'm not sure if you think I'm someone who talks a big game and then doesn't back it up? I just backed up my "statements" after you showed doubt that you could win playing 1/3 of your hands right. If you want my SN so you can come on my table and take my money, forget it. I'm happy to play anyone that sits down but I'm not interested in personal battles. I leave that to the young egomaniacs.

I talk big bonuses in this forum, I don't normally go out of my way to brag about my results, especially over such a small sample.

20 buy ins is enough to take shots at PLO100, but it wouldn't be enough for it to be my main game. I have had 2-3 15BI or more downswings in the space of a month. I'm not a good enough player to be sure of not having those kind of downswings.
