I'm a SH LHE player so limping pf isn't really a part of my repertoar and folding two kings aren't either.

to enjoy an success in O8 games you need to realize O8 and PLO8 is much more of a post-flop game than hold 'em, and abandon many of your hold em concepts. in O8, you should generally consider starting hands suchas a pair of Kings, Queens, Jacks, etc as simply DRAWING HANDS. AA unimproved loses quite often also in multiwaypots.

good luck.

You know that if you borrow words from other languages you are allowed to change the spelling? We do that all the time in Sweden and it's makes life easier for us [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I get what you're saying davebreal. Thou I think limit Hold'em is a postflop game but it seems to be quite a different type of action.

BTW Do you guys play this game on Full tilt? How many tables can you play without the help of hand description? I can barely play one at the moment...

I play 3 tables. I don't even raise AA out of position unless i have other low cards.

Gurravasa 'thou' in your last post should be 'though.' Thou is an old-English spelling of 'you.' Like in Shakespeare's plays "thou doth protest too much."

In HE where you can take KK preflop and bet hard to the river often unimproved when no A hits the board, and the board texture is non-threatening, in O8 this is never the case. With a poor KKxx hand on O8, what you look for on the flop is ideally something like K92 rainbow, because anyone else either needs runner-runner, flopped a lower set, or to be brain-dead to justify putting more in the pot. Yes KK42 suited is much better, but still leads to lots of dead ends after the flop, so in this position most would still not raise that hand.

AA97 even suited is mucked at times in a FR PLO8 game. You can try it out depending on the table, but it's not the best percentage play.

3-4 tables at one time is fairly common at Full Tilt. The more tables, the more mechanical your game gets, and each person has their own comfort zone where they balance reads against the skill level of their technical/mechanical play.

Why are there so many letters in english words? And why do you use so many words? It takes ages to write or speak something in english? Making english a international language was a mistake! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Dp you have any software helping you when you fourtable at Full Tilt? There is no hand description in the FT-client, and keeping track of all possible hands at 4-5 tables must be difficult.
