"Rolf Slotboom is the best short-stack Pot-Limit Omaha player in the world. After this book, Pot-Limit Omaha will never be the same." By Rob Hollink EPT GRAND FINAL WINNER 2005"
Product Description
Pot-Limit Omaha is a fascinating game which is rapidly increasingly in popularity on the back of the current poker boom. However, there is a dearth of quality material giving advice on how to handle all elements of this complex form of poker. Until now..."Secrets of Professional Pot-Limit Omaha" is one of the first books to analyze medium - and high-stakes PLO in great depth. The author, long-time successful PLO cash game player Rolf Slotboom, reveals key information that has never appeared in print before. The following are just some of the topics that are discussed in this ground-breaking book: a revolutionary short-stack approach; adjustments for big-stack play; a study on the proper bet size; correct seating position; blocker play; the bare ace bluff; and exploiting your opponents' specific weaknesses. Finally, the practice hands and the chapter on hand match-ups offer tremendous theoretical and practical advice. This book is a must-read for anyone who wishes to play PLO successfully.

I love this book and can't recommend it highly enough. Packed with good advice. The practice hands are very detailed, both in setting up situations, and in pros and cons of possible actions. I'd say this book is for medium/advanced players, there's nothing really aimed at beginners. So maybe get a beginners book as well. But if you're a beginner you should definitely get this as well.

I found this book very informative & helpful in all aspects. I had never played Omaha till I read this. Rolf teaches the elements you need to know & apply to be successful & he explains them very clearly. The parts I found most useful was the strategic tips, they gave me a style of play that would have took me a while to figure considering the variations & complexities. This book has (& still does) save me time & money....much to the annoyance of my opponents! If you want to play Omaha...get this book, well worth it in my opinion!

Talk About Interesting
3 April 2008
Format:Paperback
Ok folks, up front this is not a how to book. Actually there is very little information in this book about starting hands, semi bluffing ect. This book is more about Power Plays. It is about using betting to lure in the action, controlling the pot, and most of all: understanding a great players use of logic rather than pure aggression. Rolf goes through hand scenerios that he has been in, in specific types of games.
For Example: He tells of his time playing in a loose aggressive game in Vienna and how he was able to develop a systematic approach in beating this particular game. P.S. It is fascinating to read.
His style is very erradic but once you read a few of his "Tales from the Felt" (as I call it) you begin to comprehend why he plays these hands a certain way in one game and completely different in another type of game.
If you are an intermediate player I would still say you should read: Jeff Hwangs, Pot Limit Omaha book first and then read this one. Because the concepts in this book are advanced and you must have a clear understanding of the game to fully grasp the ideas and plays in this book. If you don't you will loose alot of money attempting these Power Plays.
On a Personal Note:
I play Omaha hi/lo Ring Games at my local casino and there are moments when I can understand these plays and incorporate them into my game and they have helped me get that extra value for my hand that I could not get before.
Hope this helps!

Great book
9 May 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Finally a non-idiot book for pot limit 0maha. Rolf claims to "have held nothing back" in his book, and I believe him. Slotboom details his "small-stack" strategy which mathematically served him to become one of his games most frequent winners. He also details a large-stack strategy. His book is pretty comprehensive, he covers starting hands, but he goes into more detail--detailing on how he would play them on early and also on the button. This book also includes "classic" Slotboom articles. Slotboom's writing style is fun. He's a deep thinker but you'll also see him in a deep strategy section refer to an opponent as "tight-a**"!

Not for you and me ...

Having read these reviews, I thought I'd better give my sad opinion too, since most of the reviews miss the biggest point.
Unless you are an advanced Omaha player, this book is not for you. If you don't have an exceptional understanding of the game, the stuff Rolf writes will go right over your head. God help you (and your bankroll) if you try using it in money games.
One reviewer is right in saying to read Hwang first. Ciaffone would be another good choice.
