    <p>well written!</p>
    <p>would i be correct in saying the biggest mistake omaha players make is switching from that polarized range to smooth range style as the hand plays out on every street...in relation to the pot that is?</p>

    <p>I 100% agree, you can and must switch from polarized to smooth with some hands. However, one of the biggest leaks I see is switching without the odds. Its crucial to have the odds you need and many players fall in love with a hand and get crushed because they don't make that switch correctly. excellent observation.</p>

    <p>ok but the next level of thinking would be to observe a table and catching ppl who can switch and then you bluff them out of their AAxx hands with nearly nothing on all 3 streets (flop/turn/river) specially with obvious straight draws on table coz flushdraws they can may have theirselves with double suited aces (nutsdraws) ? or is this just one level too high for reality ?</p>

    <p>no I wouldn't say its too far out there, as long as your staying just one level ahead. If you want to be successful at PLO, pot control\bet timing are crucial, knowing when you can bet someone off of a draw is a great skill to have. Careful you don't out level and that the pots your going after are actually worth doing so. adding all of this together makes you appear much more aggressive too, so don't forget to add the extra +EV you get when your great hands are called down because your the table " maniac." </p>
