hi, i'm new here but i was wondering if any successful omaha hi players could give me some tips

okay so i won a couple big rebuy no limit holdem tournaments 2 day's in a row so I had a bout $2500 bankroll more than I usually do. Omaha is very popular at the club I play at, so i decided let me spend $200 and take a shot at learning the game even just for fun, after all it was other people's money. 5/5 pot limit was the game and I was expecting to go broke, as was everyone else at the table as I took forever to read each hand, and they all new I never played the game before... I watch a few rounds of hands on the rail before I jumped in. I saw full houses losing to bigger houses all the time, and all players making pot sized bets. I decided my strategy was going to be bet the pot every time I have the nuts, and check or fold other wise, and limp in with every hand unless I have trips in my hand. I bought in for only $200 and most every other player had atleast between $500 and $1500 in front of them. I flopped the nut straight the first hand and bet the pot. I got 2 callers and the next card paired the board, so I sighed and folded to the bets on the turn. I paiteintly waited, throwing in $5, then folding on the flop.. Even If i flopped the 2nd nut full house... I finally got the nuts and managed to triple up! After a few hours I ended up cashing out for $700.. not bad. For the next 4 days I played every night, buying in for no more than $300.. most others bought in for the max $1000.. and managed to cash out with between $1200 and $1700 each night.. So I decided WOW I can't beleive I picked up this game so easy! i'm never playign holdem again.. and spent a couple days not playing just reading up on as much strategy guides as I can, beleiving I can only get better..

So I tried to follow what I read, applying all these strategies.. good starting hands.. good draws.. bluffing.. raising preflop with suited aces.. reading opponents.. instead of just playing my card , as my game is apperntly poor according to all of them....... now I cannot win.. I'm going broke and can't do anything.... I can't back in my game what's my problem..?

Now i'm the guy that seems to be rebuying for $500 every six hands, when that used to be the poor guy that kept paying me off chasing straight-flushes, three pair looking for a boat, and betting his Kings full of Jacks into my Kings full of queens....

i'm going to guess that you had a nice run of beginner's luck, and then reality set in.

i don't know what advice to give you, as i don't really know the specifics of how you play now. i'd recommend posting some HHs. i'd also recommend play at the 25s or 50s and learn to beat those before you play in the big buy-in games.

make sure you understand the concept of redraws, as often times made hands are dogs -- esp. w/ two others in the pot.

omaha can be a very high variance game, even when playing well. if you play aggressively (e.g., bluffing into players who seem weak), this is even more true.

good luck.
