Is slotboom raising PFR and then capping every street?

To make that strategy work you need to have maniac sitting right next to you. If there are only passive players just forget about it. It's no use peddling aces if you aren't able to get almost all-in preflop.

There's a 5/10 local live game that is perfect for 'peddling' aces, and I'll buy in for the min and this strategy has not worked out well for me.

All-in for 2.8k PF with AAJTds vs KJ35 unsuited, lost when he turns trip threes.

All-in with KKJTds for $1800, my friend who I have staked had AA75us and was all-in for $800. The other guy had K266ss, and won when he flopped quads.

Particularly, the guy who flopped quads never folds preflop. If you 3/4-bet him, he'll say "I know what you got, them aces." And call any amount of his stack away just to crack them.

Had several -5k nights 'Slotbooming'.

God, I run bad at live Omaha.

It's probably the juiciest Omaha game imaginable. Usual 70% VPIP and everyone is an aggrotard.

A) Flop Set
B) Don't get sucked out on.
C) ?????
D) Profit.

[/ QUOTE ]In Omaha there are a lot of more hands. It's true that if you compare match-ups between AAJT vs. 2222 and AA vs. 22 Hold 'em wins. People are though smart enough not to push with worst hands. These hands include most likely trips and unconnected rainbows.

I think better match-up would be top PLO hands but still Omaha has bigger variance than Hold 'em.

I used pokerstove to get the top 20% hands for HE, then the top 80% hands and hands picked the bottom 20%(there aren't many hands left besides the top 80%). The result I got shows top 20% holdem hands is 70/30 against bottom 20%.

Anyone knows how to do PLO? I know how to do top X% but not bottom X%.
