B&M Limit Omaha games

[sekrah]

What are the low limit B&M Omaha games like (2-4, 3-6, 4-8) ? Are they as weak as the holdem games? Weaker? Tougher?

[sternroolz]

It all depends. O/8 tends to be MUCH looser after the flop.

Basically if you get a bunch of local rocks in the game that only play A2(but play every A2) its gonna be a tight game that is tough to beat.

OTOH, if you get some noobs, particularly holdem noobs who will overvalue sets and two pair and even one pair in Omaha, the game will be great.

As a for instance in Los Angeles games, the Omaha at Commerce is crap right now. At the $3-6 up to $9-18 level, it is the same guys every night. While many are bad, they do not play loosely enough to make the game good. 3 to the flop is not a good way to overcome a $5 per hand drop in $3-6 Omaha. By contrast, the Bike gets new players on a fairly consistent basis in the low limit Omaha. So you get 6-7 to every flop and guys raising with hands they ought not raise with. So when you hold the nut/nut, you can really jam hard and make huge post with hands that are nearly unbeatable.

So the answer is, it just depends...on location and on who happens to be there that night. They can be weaker or tougher than holdem.

What would you expect in these games from a non-AC,LA,Vegas, Indian Casino?

The casino in question (Seneca Allegany) doesn't spread Omaha that often, just on weekends when there's enough interest. There's definently not a "Regular" game going on.

I would tend to think it's quite loose, but just looking for thoughts on this.

I played in a game like that at T-Stone about a month ago, and it was looser than [insert vagina joke here]. A whole bunch of hold-em players who had no idea what they were doing, playing any 4 every hand.

The O/8 game at my local cardroom (Belterra, IN) is very loose and juicy. It's 3/6 with a full kill and only goes on the weekends. You'll see 7 or 8 to the flop, 3 or 4 still in by showdown. Pre-flop raises are rare. Usually at least one player who has to be constantly reminded you can't play 1 from your hand and 4 from the board. I would imagine the game at your cardroom would be similar.

Sounds like Borgata 6/12 holdem on Saturdays

Just bumping this up, seeing if I can get any more opinions.

B&M Low Limit Omaha, what are the games like?? Ultra loose?

[steamboatin]

What part of yes, is causing the confusion?

[NickMPK]

I played some 2/4 Omaha Hi-Lo w/ half kill at the Taj this week. It was pretty loose, but it seems like the game is pretty hard to beat if you are tipping the dealers, considering you are frequently only making a couple dollars in profit when you win half the pot. What do people generally do about tipping dealers in these sorts of games? Is it acceptable to only tip when you scoop?

Somehow Borgata got a 4-8 Omaha game running on Wednesday night/Thursday morning.

It was simply the greatest game ever for a whole host of reasons.
