Product Description

Product Description

Pot-limit Omaha is a major big bet poker variant which has increased hugely in popularity on both sides of the Atlantic over the past twenty years. Omaha is a fascinating game in which each player receives four hole cards (as opposed to just two in hold'em) to complement the five community cards. This leads to complex and interesting play, and offers great possibilities for the expert player to outmanoeuvre weaker opposition. In Pot-limit Omaha big bets can appear out of nowhere, thereby providing skilful players with the opportunity to apply pressure with bold bluffs and counter-bluffs.

This book will be of tremendous value to anyone looking to improve their understanding of this exciting game. The material is presented in a novel 'test-yourself' format, which simulates live-action play by enabling readers to select the best course of action at each stage of a complete hand. They are then invited to compare their play with that of the experts, and assess their results through a unique scoring system.

• Written by one of the world's leading authorities on the game
• Highly entertaining and instructive 'test-yourself' format
• Ideal primer for both online and live-action players.

I agree with the comments from the bloke from Hull. He preaches a very agressive style and I found myself playing much less starting hands. But if you don't have a buddy with as good an understanding of poker as yourself to discuss poker with, you will find the discussion of hands in this book interesting and useful.

The quiz format works better than I expected, I found myself giving more thought to each hand than if he merely described it and made recommendations.

His aggressive post-flop strategy makes good sense, and I have deployed it with positive results in the little £0.15/£0.25 cash games I play (I'm afraid my bankroll isn't up to his levels yet!).

My only issue is with his pre-flop starting requirements. They seem extremely loose, and given that his audience will be inexperienced I believe he should be preaching a tighter game (which would work nicely with his aggressive post-flop moves). While I might not be qualified to tell the author what to do, I note that in one hand he says he called simply to avoid boredom! A bit of giveaway - he should get an iPod to amuse himself between hands like the rest of us rocks!

This a worthwhile read for all PLO fans, however a word of warning, if you intend to play as loose and agressive as Mr Rubuen you better have a large bankroll. If you play this way and cant pass when you should you will lose a lot of money. Despite this, this is a good book. It shows how you MUST be aggresive to play PLO.
