This is why I play NLO8 after "wasting" 3 hours [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Remember when you didn't last very long? This is a much
better problem; you will get there if you keep studying
and be brutally honest with yourself.

Go back and re-watch your session if you have PT...you
might notice a few spots where you should have been more
willing to gamble before your blinds got eaten away.

Do this and watch a few PXFs of good players – you'll
learn how to keep your stack big when the end draws
near. Stay with us, and post your first score!

OK, I'm assuming that "NLO8" means "No Limit Omaha hi/lo," which is just [censored] insane. You are insane, man. Totally insane.

I may have mis-interpreted your post. If you were trying to push marginal hands and lost your stack, that is one thing. If you really had good hands and just ran into better ones or lost coin-flips, etc., that is another. I don't seem to have much success bullying with a big stack (like I've read you should), so I try not to get involved without a good hand. I think you have to be good at reading the table to be a bully, otherwise you end up giving away chips. Apparently, I am not very good yet at reading a table, as much as I've played, so I know I need to improve in that area before I can start wielding my stack like a club (as some here are able to do).

I try not to bully with the big stack either, people seem to play back at me more, calling all my riases and such. I usually push marginal hands very hard close to bubble and go back to waitng for big hands after that.


I've seen nl O8b on FTP but havent tried it, it does sound nuts.

OK, then I don't really understand the purpose of your post. Did you take some action(s) that you perceive as "monkey tilt"?

If this is just a philosophical question, then yes, anything is possible.
