yh just as title says, im new to the forum also im considering playing more plo mainly cause i find it more fun for so many reasons really i love fact theres more action and bigger pots and stacks seem to go all in with greater frequency compared to omaha im a gambler at heart so guess it just appeals more to my nature.
But yh was just curious as to what bankroll management any of you winning plo players use, ive sort of searched around the net but theres not much ive seen it range from just 30-250buyins so curious what bankroll rules a winning player on heres using themselves? as ive only played few times but i can already tell its gonna be a far more swingy game as stacks go in way more regularly and the opponent normally even if behind seems never that far behind ha (and may even be making correct calls themselves with pot odds), unless your freerolling (love when that happens i got check raised on a flopped straight he had the bare one there was flushdraw, he himself had no redraw and i had a draw to fullhouse too go along with my own straight
so i get all in on flop felt great as seems as close to someone drawing dead as you can get in omaha.
but yh any advice on bankroll management for this game would be very much appreciated as something tells me 20buyins just isnt that adequate ive got it all in turn as a favourite and got sucked out river 5times in a row before so lost 5buyins just like that (in short period of time) so yh 20buyins just dont seem enough.
Weirdly im a naturally loose and aggressive texas holdem player but pretty bloody tight omaha player by nature.
But yh ive kinda grown tired of the tight texas games with small/medium pots its odd its called no limit but people so rarely bet pot or even over it ha (im the exception i think, i like going max value with my strong hands straights flushes against players i think i can squeeze calls out of, funnily some players there fold if you bet 1/3 yet call if you overbet like they just level themselves into thinking whys he betting so much he must not want to get called, whereas my real logic is i need calls less often for it to still be profitable rather than always going thin value where i need that situation to pop up with more regularity which is hard as is and also i like it as complete bluffs against the right people too as some they do this check call check call thing, like a pot control line or something planning to check call river for a 2/3 bet too yet if you overbet it certain players just tank fold, ive gone off topic) but yh im interested in learning omaha it just looks like a more fun game to me now than texas where even bad players arent even that bad and takes a lot of hands to spot a leak flaw exploit it in regs and win big pots, whereas omaha feels like cause you see more showdowns and stacks get all in with greater regularity, you get more concrete evidence on how people are playing certain strength of hands right off the bat, i dont know i just like the look of omaha just seems more action packed and just fun....
weirdly ive always been naturally a loose aggro texas player (im considerably tighter now still relatively loose in tight games compared to most of my opponents but not every other hand loose anymore lol i average now i have a hud to see it 22-38% in 6max games depending on opponents and gameflow, whereas in omaha right off the bat i was/am i think pretty ****ing tight lol just came naturally feel like all i do is fold a bunch ha till i see something decent where i can flop alot of good things, im super passive pre in omaha too i just limp every hand i play but pretty aggro post both with bluffs and with value hands, depends on opponent though obvs.
Any advice would be appreciated strategy wise for omaha too as i am new to it. Yh but omaha seems fun so down to really try learn it and how to play profitably and beat it, texas has become a bit monotomous (playing winning texas holdem is slow it feels unless games good and theres proper fish floating about in the game, feels like all you ever do is chip up slow and steady unless you notice a leak in a reg and even then it can take a bunch of hands for that similar situation to arise where you think there on some range of hand and are gonna **** up and hand you there stack or fold the best one in a big pot...) im very curious about variance and the downswings/upswings in omaha too though as i imagine there bloody insane/both ways and could be soul crushing...
Also one more question to you winning players would you say omahas a more profitable game than texas holdem (going by the same stakes compared to texas) in the longrun..., what are your winrates and what are realistic ones, also anyone make a living off of lowstakes plo? if so how many tables and what stakes hrs you play a month? im somewhat hoping winrates can be higher in omaha even if variance is greater, as winning at texas feels slow and im not good at multitabling really i honestly feel 3tables my limit for quality play at texas anymore and i miss important info.
