Steve’s intro is rather good. It just includes my game’s knowledge and my trying to gamble in the local Mississippi games. Such games as 10-20 kill, 5-10 kill, 4-8 half kill and 3-6 kill. The most playable game for me is a 3-6 kill at the Silver Star in central Mississippi. The majority of the other games are tree hours away on the Coast and in Tunica. For the last three years I’m still an absolute winner and at the same time I develop my game. Omaha’s winnings give me real money since I understood the edge Omaha presents. I consider you and Doctor Ed Hutchison my tutors. Once seeing him a winner with lots of chips I asked him for help. He advised me to visit his website with this point count system. A great role occurred Lee Munzer interview in Poker Digest. I look through and understood Doctor’s system and used it for four-five sections. And of course, I won. It’s haven’t used by me in over two years n a game. But owing to Doctor’s system I’ve got new useful knowledge for my play in Omaha. There was no other way for me to learn it.
To learn Omaha in real games are very expensive. Doctor’s system gave me a lot of useful knowledge. So I had an opportunity to pass away some simple grades as I had learned the basic profitable starting hands in Omaha. Of course, this point count system is necessary basis, but after all you should throw away this basement and try to get everything you want by yourself.
There are several comments on sections from your good introduction.
Introduction to Omaha strategy (ITOS): “it’s not so difficult to train a gambler to play way-above average Omaha.. and the main aim is to play with good discipline.. however having discipline is an advanced skill and after all is boring.”
Comment is that right on the mark. In the case a gambler follows it they’ll have good discipline before the flop.
Itos: “Contrasting Holdem poker, in which post-flop play is much more critical, Omaha winning starts basically with starting hands. They are before the flop that is where you have huge edges in Omaha holdem against a full field.”
Comment: Doctor’s system is very useful for just a beginner because of the starting hands in Omaha. Surely, you get your edge, by thinking over what to do with a starting hand. In the end, a novice can begin with just a hand with an edge.
ITOS - "Not including AA and maybe KK, Texas Holdem poker hands go closer in value than Omaha hold’em hands do (urban fantasies not against). If you don't know this basic concept, you will get in trouble playing Omaha holdem. Omaha holdem has a quite big hands group which will win at double the time of random hands. Few Texas Holdem poker hands can do the same.
COMMENT – It may deceive several people. Omaha hold’em has more hands which can be large winners. Texas Holdem maybe has more hands that can only be a small winner. Therefore, I’ll play more hands earlier than the flop in Texas Hold’em. I just won’t win large with many of these hands.
ITOS - " You ought to play high hopeful hands before the flop; you ought to manipulate the size of the pot; you ought to make an attempt to manipulate other players in order that when you hold a good hand against less number of opponents you’re acting against less number of opponents and you’re acting against a full field if your hand plays well correspondingly against a full field."
“The flop is serious. After the flop you ought to start to approximately analyze the possibilities and decide how good your odds are to win. Once more, a player ought to manipulate the pot here (obtain more chips in if the chances are in your favor, and try to reduce if you get a longer shot."
COMMENT - I don't consider there’ve been 2 paragraphs written just that better the "Essence of Winning Low Limit Omaha."
ITOS - "This website RGP Posts section deals with some fallacies concerning point-count systems of Omaha hold’em, and charts of starting hand generally. These systems are an awful idea for many reasons; however the most basic error is a view on Omaha hold’em hands as some 2-card units."
"You may see that really useless Omaha holding of 3d3h in combination with an As2s becomes a strong perspective of a coordinated hand! It is an unpardonable error to consider the 33 out of the A2."
COMMENT – the system of Doc Hutchison doesn’t look at an Omaha holdem hand as several 2 card units. The system takes into consideration 4 cards right away and points of awards based on the fundamental 2 card low hand and offers extra points for kickers, suited cards and pairs.
ITOS - "It is rather harsh to consider Omaha hands as 4 card units after the flop. You may even play As2s3dQd and end up with a Qs9c2cflop. Before the flop the Qd2s in your hand hasn’t any value, but on the flop you should think how you can get 2 pair, a backdoor wheel draw or a back door nut low draw and so on. You may see that Omaha hands are multifold and multivariate. They must be considered as the whole unit. An Omaha poker hand is greater than its parts sum or at times even less, however Omaha hold’em hands are constantly 4 cards.”
COMMENT - of course, Doc's system, admits the power of A23. It gives extra weight to the suited Q, the suited A and the Q just as a kicker as well. I've found my old cheat sheet to illustrate you the real points here on the hand. A2 - twenty points, 3 kicker - nine points, suited Ace - four points, and suited Queen - two points, Queen kicker - two points, totally 37 points. 20 points are thought to be the lower limit to call in early position. This hand claims raise for building a pot. In case I changed the Queen kicker to an unsuited 9 the hand becomes less in value by 4 pts, but the hand propose still raise.
I’m sure not to induce you to change your mind to use the point count system of Doc as a schooling tool in Omaha. But, I consider it to be useful to me and it just worked for me.
I was unable to tell anybody the point value of just a single hand that I played a night ago. My cheat sheet of this system is in my computer. It hasn’t been needed for more than two years. So, it was another excellent night. 3 hours of play, positive 3 large kill bets per an hour against a table of usual gamblers who mostly don't know about "The Essence of Omaha."
Unnecessary to say, I don’t plan to deal out copies of your great "Introduction" to anybody.
I’m not sure that you’ve ever seen Dr. Ed Hutchison. Most players and I believe he is the best Omaha HiLo player all round Mississippi. He has got a Ph. Degree in Psychology. He is a scholar and a gentleman. I have never seen Dr. Ed Hutchison on tilt. He has an excellent discipline. His strengths come together with his psychology based players reading skills to beat everybody pre and post-flop. He seems to be able to see the cards backs and front and look into souls of players all together.
I hope I don’t bother you with my COMMENT. Perhaps, you can understand why Doc's system helped me and how it could help others. I’m not sure it’ll work for everybody since most players do not have discipline and do not want to use it to move ahead in studying starting hands.
