hello everyone O8 and book enthusiasts
. I really appreciate the good quality of your posts on this forum and i'm frustrated i didn't stumble across 2+2 sooner. Although it's been only 1 year since i first discovered and played this game, i've managed to read a few books and i'll write below my impressions about them.
1 Jeff Hwang - Pot Limit Omaha - I won't insist too much, it's on the top of the list of omaha books to devour and you all know it
.. Too bad the PL chapter is shorter than the FL one, considering the big differences of these 2. This book was folllowed up by
Jeff Hwang- Advanced Pot Limit Omaha (
Volume I - Small Ball and Short-Handed Play,
Volume II - LAG Play,
Volume III - The Short-Handed Workbook,
Volume III). This is for more serious players, practically the first book is the cornerstone that will help you mingle easier the concepts you'll come upon the second book. Unfortunately, the second books doesn't have an Omaha 8 Chapter, or maybe i'm wrong (i didn't get to finish the book, stopped after Volume I).
2 TJ Cloutier & Tom McEvoy - Championship Omaha - This is my favourite book (i know it's out of date), but it covers all forms of omaha, stories, tournament tactics, practical hands, top-notch omaha theory.
3 Pot Limit Omaha8 by Dan Deppen - ok book for beginners. I really liked Chapter 6- Advanced Postflop Concepts, there are some good pointers here. I expected more from the SNG’s and MTT’s chapter.
Now i'm reading Winning Omaha8 Poker- Mark Tenner & Lou Krieger (2003 ) but i saw there's also Mastering omaha8 poker by the same authors (2011) and the table of contents seems different ( anyone tried the one from 2011 ?)
In the foreseeable future i want to try andy mack's omaha 8 book.
Sorry for english mistakes and good luck to all
