i was thinking to do shortstack bonuswhoring on prima network.
and i find 50 PL omaha hi always general high pot size.
i need to know what are good EV hand to push 20BB allin preflop?
i have to say, the variance is very high on omaha hi....lol
so far, i figure out
two pocket pair.
Ak/Q+ PP
any other hand i should push with?
i know 2+2 hate shortstacker
but to my defence
1. i don't know how to play omaha, so Shortstack allin take away villian's postflop edge.
2.most omaha table see flop 50%+, and general bigger rake compare to NL on the same level. thurs bonus clear alot faster, and easier to play 10 table
3. i actually don't mind suckout compare to NL games
since omaha, when my hand holdup, i usually triple/quad up my stack....lol

given that the best hands are often only 3:2 favorites, maybe your strategy isn't as gerat as it seems. i do see the logic in it from the high pot size aspect, though.

jam connecting cards that are suited. like 6h7s8h9s or 910JQ --- these hands play best when 2 other clowns jam their big pairs like KK./AA and u can run them down with nice connectors. I'd go as low as 3456

more importantly, shortstackers are stupid.

To bonuswhore with Omaha, play passive PF. Your goal is to get into many pots cheaply so that you "contribute" to the rake. Fold to raises, except with good rundown hands, high pairs with connecting cards, and suited Aces with connecting cards.

On the flop, if it hits you (NF or NFD, set, wrap) then you push.

prima's sw counts uncalled bets in the avg pt size so that game's probably not as good as you think.

that said, if it is a good game, it seems pretty perverse to be aiming to breakeven in it. you'd do better to learn a simple nitty fullstack strategy.
