Thats prettty sweet but dont expect all too often unfourtunatly I am also a pretty new omaha player and still quite a fish I think.So many ways to win and so many ways to lose.There seems to be alot of huge luck in this game but still Im hoping that skill is the determining factor. Also, when people tell you that you will have huge swings and you cannot do nothing about it. BELIVE THEM. I didnt. and thought I was the best omaha player in the world after rolling 10 dollers I won in a freeroll int 260 in 5 days playing PLO10. Was up to 260 then down to 18 dollers in 3 sessions. great for me I got it back up over 200 again and kinda chilled out on it for a while as I am still figuring out if I want to play this game.It seems to me that everytime I flop AAA with a pretty good draw and I get the money in someone else always get a flush or str8. Then when I have great draws or decent made hands on the flop and the money goes in the player holding AAA will turn/river a full boat. If I try to keep the pots reasonable in case of these things happening then I get drawn out on. Also Im sure Im getting the bleep bluffed out of me as others can most likly notice Im a new fish. Anyway If anyone care to share some good omaha tips for new freshie fishes it would be great.

Omaha is a much more complex game than Holdem, also the swings are huge because there's more luck involved. The CAP games are a great place to learn the game as you only hold 40bb.
Maybe I will make a PLO video soon, maybe even CAP.
