Plo my thoughts on what to do after a raise.

It seems to me you are having trouble believing in the farce. Do not let yourself be distracted by your opponents and their styles. Instead make it your game, make your own rules.Lure them in when you most, Strike fast and hard when you must. Do not let them draw cheaply.
And above all remember our motto. "Patience, Aggression and Tenacity"
"Go cojones bro, big Giant ones like Potatoes." -Bugs

good on yer Sam..most dont really try learn they just push and re push with unsuited or unconnected AA,KK,JJ,QQ i mean not having the other 2 cards give them other drawing options lol in fact some just dont think plo is any different to holdem other than you have 4 cards,i was amazed years ago in a tourney were id hit the boat on the flop wth aakk board was a55 this player reraised my reraise till were was both all in , i was expecting him have at least the 5 if not 55,was stunned to see he had 4444,now thats someone who just hasnt taken any time or effort to even know the basics of the game ,[ONLY 2 OF YOUR CARDS ARE USED TO MAKE AN HAND AND 2 CARDS MUST BE USED]oh well he learned the hard way it was a 10 dollar buy in so he prob had more money than brains.Edited by Bullyboy1 8 months ago

Keep the pressure on when u are catching ,but plo is really not a bluffing game i mean yes you can get away with a bet size that is to b prised in to calling a opened end draw with flush draw and top two allready made OBV but knowing player's in plo is a great tool of its own and just stick with 123 poker and game stats and notes is the main key of games allready played most players dont even take the time to note a player because emoyion is OBV in play there #Note's are 1 main key and outs is the name of the game.PLODREAMER

You cant fall in love with you aces in omaha sometimes I have actually folded aces preflop in omaha when theres a ton of action going on you just cant play, you just need to weigh the outs that you have in your head and make smart decisions and a lot of times you can get a read on what your opponent has and bluff on the river, bluffing on the flop or turn is just a dumb idea in omaha but you can win some pots this way.

I think omaha is all about see flops and reading t board,all you need is reading ecactly what see about the flop .
about the bluff factor in amaha i should say it is alot common not stone bluff but semi bluff in position but i should say u should not bluff alot.it is not a bluffkind f game cuase alwys there is a good hand on the board or even good draw so u can bluff as much as u want but always some one has the nutsand call check u
i read this in a good omaha poker that all big pots in omaha is around good streigth hands,like 20 or 16 streight outs and made hands,lke set or even some kind of bigger hands.

This is pretty much when having a big bankroll makes a big difference; because of the high variance, you're bound to get a lot of bad beats, so it's all about endurance.
A lot of people approach PLO too carefully (at least in my opinion). Playing against "bingo players" is a great way of getting big pots with a small, medium or big advantage, which is what you want.
Personally, I try to fold more hands than I normally would whenever I play against this type of players, because calling a pot bet pre-flop gets ridiculously expensive when you play against blind aggression.
If we're gonna count the difference between PLO HU, tournaments and 6p tables, things get a lot more complicated so it depends a lot on which type of game you're into. Personally, I think it would be far more interesting to discuss specific hands rather than just theorize blindly.

I play a lot of PLO on carbon at microstakes 0.02/0.04 and 0.05/0.10 and so far i can say all things are good for me.and yes on PLO there's a lot of ''bingo players'' because after a flop there are way more outs then in NLH.but what i really love in PLO is ppls who overyplay A's or K's.

the prob with rerasing the bingo player is theres no doubt he will just push over the top again.even if ive got AA double suited its not like having AA in holdem.so id still just call is reraise and go from there,i love plo as its def tougher to get players fold hands pre flop,or after the flop for that matter.so even having position after the flop bettinjg big wont remove the bingo player whose got any kind of flush straight or boat draws lol.
good luck all you plo lovers this is just my humble opinion,although sometimes, especially when im short stacked with a few players in the hand, i will push for value irrellevent of my cards.
