Default Re: Omaha 8 Books

I liked Zee´s book even though its more biased on limit O/8, he actually suggested that potlimit is going to die due to the fact that the fish goes broke to quick. This statements must be before the internet age... Have anybody any comments on Stewart Reubens book "How good is your potlimit Omaha", not sure if íts only for high but probably not. I liked the book by Ciaffone and Reuben.

And by the way as a new member of this excellent forum I would like to thank all of the posters here for many taughtful advices.

Regards

When I read "How good is your potlimit Omaha," it was all about PLO high.

I thought it rather weak in that also.

He was recounting how he sucked out with weak hands and low equity.

I may be wrong, but I haven't seen fit to gobacktoit.

Most of the lit on Omaha 8b is based on limit. 2+2 forum has the only reliable info on PLO8b

How is the section about Omaha 8 in Bob Ciaffone's book "Omaha Poker" ?

Tenner/Krieger book is easy to read, has simple starting hand requirements, and IMO does a good job of showing basic situations of when to raise with what kinds of hands, and when to go for an overcall.

It is LO8 though.

The Rolf Slotbloom books is supposed to be killer. I haven't gotten it yet but I've read a few of his articles and they are very good, but he has a lot of "trust me, don't do this" points without saying why they are bad ideas.

I just this morning finished the Tenner Kreiger book. My first book was Cappelleti's and I favor the Tenner Krieger book more. I also have Zee's book but thought that I should read something a bit more on the begginer side first so I am going to read that one eventually. It might be cool for someone to write an LLO8 book similiar to the Jones HE book or SSHE since I have a feeling that more people play lower limits than people think. Maybe the book would be pretty much like the Tenner Kreiger book though. I find that poker books are a great way to learn games and strategies but like any life activity, the best practice is actually doing the activity.
