Pretty sure those are the only regular limit O8 games in Vegas over 4/8.

Hello all, searched through the posts to see if I could find an answer, and I might have missed it but I tried!

Anyway, very new to O8 and I have what is likely a stupid question but here goes:

From what I can tell, assuming I am the only player with A2xx and the low becomes a possiblity - Is it true that unless an A or 2 hits the board somewhere I am always going to win the low?

It certainly seems that way from what I can tell, I just want to verify I'm not missing something.

Thanks for the assist!

Couldn't find it anywhere, so figured I would ask here. Are there "GTO" stats Big O players target?

Thinking VPIP/RFI/C-Bet/W$SD/3bet

The other question is what win rates are people hitting online?

This question is more of a poker question than a game specific question. You could gain a lot of info looking at those stats from other, more solved games. I'm sure you should be playing pretty tight in this game btw and since people play too loose, 3-betting a lot as an exploit.

Depends on the rake and the quality of the opposition. I'm sure someone somewhere is a 20evbb/100 winner.

I’m going to play live Omaha 8 for the first time (played a lot online).

What’s the recommended buy-in for a live O8 3-6 game?

$100. It doesn't really matter much for a limit game though. At four bets per street, the most you could normally put into the pot in a single hand would be $72.

Read from the biggest card to smallest. Biggest card loses. Thus 8752A is bigger than 8543A.

Coming back to play 08 after a bit. What is the best tracker and HUD to use? I recall years ago Holdem Manager having a problem calculating split pot results and PT4 was the only good option. I've downloaded HM and DriveHUD and both give different results for the hands I've played. I can't try PT4 as still have same computer and thus no second trial. I'm 99 percent I'll buy PT4 again but just wanted to know current opinion. I'm old, but the new designs of HM and DriveHUD are not my cup of tea, not nearly as nice UI or intuitive to use as PT4. Thanks
