Mason - if 2+2 does a book on PLO, can you include a section on how to handle the suicidal feelings you will eventually have?

slotbooms book is actually fantastic

But it doesn't teach you anything about playing omaha.

I think you can be a bad/losing (not ******ed) player, read Rolf's book, and become a winning player. I'd like to see why you disagree.

The part about playing short stack / only premiums / hit and run is not the idea i have of 'good poker'.

Right, it teaches you a style of poker that you can win at, but it doesn't teach you much about omaha which was my point.

I hope you are wrong i bought it last week. Isn't it supposed to cover the deep money game ? Its the title of the part i gonna about tomorrow.

There will be a book, don't remember the publisher, covering PLO tournaments and cash games supposedly published in October. The author is Sammy Farha.

Who is he?

Is that the guy that lost $2mm playing Townsend in HUPLO a few months back?

Farha's PLO book sucks. It's like one of those bad cloutier books; I think SF just wanted to cash in a bit on the poker boom and his rep as a top PLO player.

I'm grilling today; ribs w mustard finish. And I'm gonna light the grill with the pages from Farha's book - best use I could think of for it.

I like watching Sammy play, I like Omaha, and I like poker books, but I'd rather claw my eyes out than read his one.
Best place to pick up Omaha tips for me has been Ben Grundy's (milkybarkid) blog.

Has anyone read Jeff Hwang's new book? Anyone got any opinions? Worth buying?

That book is the absolute nuts. You won't find anything better in print for a very long time to come.

This is likely the case for many "Pro" books.

I do know rolf strategie for pot limit Omaha. He is also an instructor on a dutch training site, the best lessons there I got from Rob Hollink, he made some lessons winthin a video under the name "Pot limit Omaha, from beginner to Pro" and those lessons where really good. To bad, its dutch. Although a lot of his input comes from Rolf.
