Anyone use Poker Tracker Omaha?

I've purchased it and was looking through their forums for beginner guidance. There is actually a post suggesting I come here for suggestions, go figure. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

I searched the Omaha/8 and Omaha High forums for "poker tracker" and "PTO" but didn't turn up anything.

Once I get everything imported (currently in process), does anyone have a suggestion on where I should start?

I've been playing on-line for well over two years now and am a break-even player at the micro-level ($.01/$02 & $.02/$.05) tables. My goal (as I'm sure is everyone's goal) is to slowly work my way up one level at a time when bankroll allows.

Any suggestions on what I should focus on first would be greatly appreciated.

OK, all of my imports are done. Under the Summary tab it shows for me:

Sessions: 468
$ Won: $8.51
Hands: 15,331
Hours: 316.45
BB/100: 3.68
VP$IP: 29.23
PFR %: 0.52
W$SD: 52.67

I sometimes feel like I'm spinning my wheels without getting any traction.

Your very good BB/100 but net profit of only $8 tells me you do well at micro stakes and not when you move up.

Probably you're getting cut up when you face better players because you're a rock. Your PFR% is abysmal. What are your aggression numbers? And is this mostly PL or limit?

one of your problems might be simply overcoming the rake.

otherwise, your pfr% is extremely low... probably playing too passively to maxmimize value on good hands.

You either need to raise your agression or lower your VPIP, I would suggest tightening up and lowering your VPIP based on comments you made

Get this over 55%, I have a feeling lowering your VPIP may lead to getting you into some marginal situations you are getting in now and help raise this number

could you post your your starting hand requirements that get you a vpip of almost 30 plz.

Olrik - Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to go through the old threads and collect the links to all of the old starting hand requirements. Once you do that, we can add those to the FAQ, and you won't need to ask other people to do your legwork for you.

Olrik · #9 10-12-2007, 09:51 AM

this wasnt about asking ppl to do the legwork for me. following the suggestions of http://www.o8poker.com/ i had a vpip somewhere around 21 (and according to greg 23 is a good number to look for). now the OP states he almost hits 30 so he must loosen up quite a bit and i wanted to know which hands he add to the obvious Axxx combinations.

I win around 20 BB/100 at FL and 40 BB/100 at PL on Poker Stars micro limits. I haven't played nearly as much as you have and I certainly don't think of myself as a particularly good player. You must have some major leaks to have such a low win rate. To me the most common mistake on the micro tables is playing too many hands. The other costly mistake is calling with weak draws, especially draws to half the pot. Use your PTO to review all the hands you play and look for times when you should have folded instead of calling.
