Re(4): Value of bottom two pair in Omaha
Dexter I agree with you, but I do so on a marginal basis... On a 6 seates, or HU, bottom 2 can be gold. You can push/steal/buy what have you much easier with the shorter table, and can even steal on the river when your opp. misses the draw, or even fears a bigger set for example. Usually on a 9/10 seated some one will have hit top 2, or a monster draw or a set, all = bad for bottom 2. It really depends on the table the game, and the players. WSML

Re(1): Value of bottom two pair in Omaha
Heres the deal on bottom 2 pair on PLO 9/10 seated(6 is a different game): 1) No, not even in post. not worth the chips/$$ 2) No, Out of post. even worse lol check/fold to any bet, ONLY bet you might want to call is min on river, and that depends on the situation, tournie or cash, the players etc 3) You dont know in advance that would hit bottom 2, and if you are talking about a hand like 3456, its a decent starter not gold, not worth alot, but sometimes a good gamble. 2 pair alone isnt that strong, atleast if you have top 2, its a better draw then bottom 2, but you could still be drawing ...

Re(3): What do you eat while playing?
Not everyone will crash, but alot of people do. I didnt used to crash when I was drinking 6 cups a day, because i spread them out so that I would never start to feel tired....I do not do that now though. It was just a precationary measure, it depends on how strong the coffee is as well. If you are drinking 3 weak cups a day, then you wont "really" crash due to the fact that its not much caffine. You do crash a bit though.... Just an example, and wont always be the case. WSML

Re(1): What do you eat while playing?
I am no health nut by no means, but recently I was working on an article to post here(under submit articles, and hope it gets posted lol) that dealt with this very topic. Here is briefly what I have learned about food, and what to eat while plyaing(next topic was going to be what to drink, and I have done a bit of research on that already). Your brain needs certina neurotransimitters to properly function. 1 of those is serotonin, serotonin will effect your moods, thus making have a "high" one min and a "low" the next if things are going wrong.

Re(1): Can i friggin not go broke here?
Dear Crazy, You said in your post you put then on AA or KK, if this is the case then need to tread lightly through the hand. Once you have seen the flop, and you have missed, I would have checked. The reason for the check is a few things, 1) you can see where you are in the hand, he might be stealing, but its doubtful 2) you find out to some degree if your flush draw is good, hes betting out, odds are hes not just drawing to 2 outs for the over pair 3) you can get away from your hand with no more chips loss Also preflop you were in a good spot chip wise, I feel there was no need to make ...

Re(3): Omaha-AA on terrible flop
I have to agree here, odds are your facing a few diff hands: 1) Str8 as mentioned 2) 2 pair, which means you have to get lucky enough to have a pair hit that doesnt fill him up 3) They already have a set 4) They have a flush draw as mentioned, AND one of the above Either way, it sucks to fold, but sometimes you have to. You could have pushed, if you didnt mind drawing slimly for your tournie life, but I personally would suggest a fold, and hope for another good/strong hand then push there.

Re(1): Moving to Vegas to play poker... Best Apartments are?
A good site to check out is ppl post exp. with the various communities, and rate them as well. Also a side note, I live in a Sentinel community and they have their act together. Parts/tools are on hand, and things get fixed in a timely manner, and in order of imprtance. I dont know if they own any in Vegas, but try the link, you can get some idea of whats there that way. WSML PS, nothing is better then going there, and checking them out in person. Meeting the staff, the ppl that will be incharge of your personal info, seeing how they interact with ppl etc.

Re(1): Laptop Reccomendations?
I suggest going with a Dell, I have had mine for over a year now, and with no issues. Its sturdy, its good, and no probs(knocks on wood lol). The only thing i do suggest is that you see which batt. you get with it. Dell had an issue roughly a year ago with batts over heating. If you get one of those, you can but a secondary fan system that the laptop will sit on for about 25-50$. I suggest "Cool Master", they are a little hard to find, but the 2 fans are easily replaceable down the road when you need one. Also the fans are located perfectly for the bottom 2 fans of the laptop(on most models) ...

Re(2): Str8s -EV in omaha?
I have to agree and disagree with this statement, and heres why... Yes have a flush with ur str8 draw to back urself up, and sometimes waiting to see the turn is a good play depending on the kind fo table you have. Heres the part I do not agree with... "having a flush draw to back up ur hand is huge in plo no matter how low it is" This is untrue, if your going to lead out betting str8, then you need a good flush draw because of the fact that you will be facing flush draws. Yes you can try to bluff the better flush on the river, but why take the chance' There is no reason to bet a weak ...

NL SNG lessons
I just have to say if you want the best NL lessons, you need to be talking to Jennifear, I just took one, and she is right on the $$ with the way she teaches, and the way explains it. The players are doing everything by her book. This is the real stuff right here for low limit players to work their way up. I am solid on PLO, was hit and miss on NL, now I dont miss. Just had to share this with everyone. Sorry if it sounds like a plug, its really not just a happy student, that can play 2 games very solidly. Best of luck all, WHML (I traded my lytr away for the lessons, but now I can buy ...

Re(2): Omaha Hi/Lo SNG's strategy
As jen states it is a great way to open the sng. You will find ALOT of chasers early on while the blinds are low. Once the blinds go up, you can start to push your hands a bit more and be faced with less draws, and or weaker draws. WSML (AKA WillBeRich)

Re(2): An idea I had while brainstorming ideas to cut down on online collusion, tell me what you think.....
I would have to agree, I like the idea. I think it would work on PS best of all, and sites of that size. Like it was stated later on in this post, it would have to be by IP tracing, which is VERY possible. I would for one to have world unity as gank put it, and to play with the world. Cool idea gank.

Re(1): how do u get rid of keyloggers?
Usually a keylogger is considered Malware, malious software. I havent had a problem with them often so I dont have a spec. program for you, but any malware cleaner should find it if you have one. If you do a google search for "online computer support" you will find alot of online forums where you can post the signs of a possible problem, and they will advise you on how to and where to go to get your self checked out, some sites will have you copy and paste system info into the forum for them to look at and check into. Hope this helps Mattie WSML (AKA WillBeRich)

Re(1): Consistent low limit MTT players...
If you are consistantly cashing/FTs in 5s and 10s and 1s then keep it up, pay the bills you have once thats done then you can start to build up a roll for 30's. If you are chrushing a level, keep crushing it, why change' You dont have to be a professional making 10k a week or etc to be making out good from poker. My logic is this, if you can pay your bills with poker, then your playing at a good level and making good $$. 1 more thought, if you want to keep in the 5s and 10s, go for the DE sngs into the 33$ and the 109$ every night. It gives you the shot at the bigger $$ like you want and ...

Re(1): best way to use Omaho Poker Tracker
I cant really help you with this, since I for one have never used any kind of tracking software, all my exp. and time invested on tables have lead me to playing some of the PLO of my life on many tables, without tracking which hands are what and etc. Just food for thought, sometimes the best plays, and etc can be made without prior knowledge of the past.

Re(1): Leak=Playing Drunk
I fully agree with you, I figured that leak out just the other night. I wasnt playing like myself because reality was distorted, and I was either making plays I wouldnt normally, or was misreading a player, or just didnt care enough cause I was drunk. Some ppl can play drunk, others cannot, if you find your game is weaker when you drink, maybe not drinking till after your done with poker for the night is done is a good idea. Playing live, and drinking is a diff. story, I love being drunk at a cash table live, I can use it to my advantage, and did on many occasions. Thats a whole different ...

Ok folks, I need ur opinion on some PLO
Me and my friend were discussing a hand I was recently in about 2-3 days ago on Full Tilt. Its a 6 seated .50-1$ table He(my opp i ended up HU with) was in the blinds, I was in mid post. I cant remember the flop and the betting that ensued, but the key part of this story is this.... Lets say ur me, U put ur opp on a str8 draw on the flop and a flush draw. U turn ur set of 7s and he checks, it doesnt make the flush, it makes the str8, u check too knowing he made his str8, river comes, its ur last 7, also 7 suited. He again checks to u on the river, now, do u bet or check..... Once pot is ...

to be honest idk how their policy is, the last time this happened i wasnt playing on the site, but i have learned from UB and other sites, taking snap shots CYA big time. they cant argue with that. as for u android, i cant be much help, besides just trying to write down how many were left, ur stack sizes, and etc any info that would help them find the tables when the crash is over, so it makes it easier and faster for them to do refunds and etc if that is how their policy works
