The day after I asked for the Wilson Turbo Sim I started playing at the Seminole Hard Rock Limit Omaha 8/B $2/$4 game with a $5 kill. I'm using basic tight-aggressive strategy. It's ABC poker at it's finest.

I'll keep posting results on a regular basis. I started doing this because a friend of mine told me it was impossible to be beat any 2/4 game because of the rake. I bet him $500 it was beatable and that I could double a $500 bankroll to prove it. My guess was that he's just a poor Omaha player.

Now that I've won the $500 bet....

I guess I'm going to keep playing until I get bored or burn through the $500 I won.

I've played that game before. There is no question that it's beatable even in spite of the $5+1 rake, just sitting there and playing like a nit. I used to beat it regularly with half my brain tied behind my back with patron silver.

The problem is that the game can only support 2 winners, tops. Probably just one.The drop is taking too much off the table to support much more. What is going to happen when another 2p2er comes along and wants to play?

I have yet to have one fellow "nit" sit down with me in the first 50 hours. It appears some of them think they are playing tight. They still however are seeing 40% of the flops. The one guy I thought might be decent (because he didn't play a hand for the first 20 minutes.) turned out to not know how to play Omaha and once he figured out the basics raised UTG with 777Q hit a set of sevens on the flop and then lost $60 popping and capping his way to 4th best hand. Nice read!

Every once in awhile they all get short stacked or the table gets shorthanded and the pots get smaller. I usually give it a cycle or two and if it doesn't improve, I go play 1/2 or 2/5 NLHE.
