6-max is my B&B, but I'm doing alright testing the waters a little more in HU matches. HU just feels so frustrating sometimes because you can get run over for quite a while if you aren't hitting any flops. Don't misunderstand me, I 3-bet wide and C-bet a ton, but against people who are willing to stack off light it can be frustrating when you 3-bet QQJJ and the flop comes K72 and you have to fold to a c/r.

Also, I find that it takes a little while to figure out what your opponent is really willing to stack off with (unless he is being grossly out of line).

On the flip-side, it is really easy to feel God-like HU if you're playing an aggressive opponent and flops hit you in the face for the first 15-30 hands. I played a match the other day where I was able to c/r 5 or 6 flops in a row because I was flopping monsters and there was absolutely nothing my opponent could do. I think it really started to [censored] with his head because he clearly started to think I was just being an aggro-donk. It's not like NLHE HU (disclaimer I have very little experience) where you can usually tell if people are getting out of line post-flop because it's so hard to make a real had in that game. But in Omaha it's so much easier to hit very playable hands on the flop and thus you have to merge a MUCH wider range of hands.

Basically, HU Omaha is sick. And I love it.

You know what, I don't think it's a co-incidence that the top table was 6-max and the bottom table was full ring.

I think I take back my statement about the software. The colors are still good, but why is the seating all [censored] up at the 6-max table. Having 9 chairs when only 6 players can play would tilt me. Also, the imbalance of the table seating (no one on the right side, I'm assuming you can sit whereever you want until the table is full?).

10 seats. It's a good thing on the 6-max tables, it means you have a lot more flexibility in choosing where you want to sit.

Are there times when people get in a seat changing war?

I've never seen it but it's network-wide so I'm sure it goes on plenty.
