Very nice, Nielsio. Very nitty though. I saw you post some in MSNL and after watching your video I would experiment with loosening up some. I dont think it's possible to win playing that nitty above 1/2. Too predictable imo. Unless you have great table selection maybe. One thing is just opening hands you normally wouldnt like 75s or QTs in UTG and MP based on table dynamics and your image at the table. Maybe you do but you did seem very tight in your first vid I looked through. Just my two cents but your results are obviously working for you now [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

how is it possible to win much at omaha if three are so many flips and bluffing is harder? So less pot stealing? Also cant you get sick break even stretches? I mean 80k break even stretch must be normal right?

Omaha, at least full ring, is mostly about making a good hand and jamming the pot. So if you have a much better grasp of what good hands and good draws are than your opponents, you prosper.

Sometimes in Holdem, it's correct to stack off with non-nut hands. In Omaha, it rarely is but people still do it all the time.

But what about variance then, i dont think i want more variance then i have nwo with hold em? And I dunno but i think the game is booming a bit more pple trying it out? I hear way more about omaha lately then i used to. More fish then at NLHE? more money to be made in that game? I play it at homegames sometimes and it seems pretty fun, but i would get headaches multitabling it.

Just had a guy in the Sunday Warmup raise from the Button then SNAP call my shove for 80% of his stack.

He had 95o.

This is a $200 buyin MTT. That is all.
