Yeah, I've learned not to get stuck on big pairs and value wraps a lot more too.
Only 22% for VP$IP, I'm surprised at that. I guess I should cut back on my starting requirements. As any 4 card wrap and/or suited Ace(s) and I'll play them.
Cheers,
SS

My VPIP in omaha high is generally below 22%. It's higher at hi/low. Stick to good hands that are at least 3way, preferably 4way. Don't over estimate big pairs, don't underestimate wraps. I'd rather have 89TJ than KK47. You have to look at your big pairs the same way you'd approach a medium pair in Holdem - set it or forget it.

I just started playing Omaha High after coming from Hold'em. I played on the play money Omaha tables first, so I could shake off my Hold'em tendencies. Once I started winning regulary at the play tables, and getting to know what starting hands work, and most importantly, reading all of Felonius Monk's articles, I started on the micro-limit, $0.02 PL tables at Stars. (I'm only a small stakes player!
)I know it's only a short time period (3 weeks), but I have found that at the end of the sessions, I'm back where I started. I never seem to finish up on a positive amount. I'm up about 1 buy-in, only to lose it to suck-outs by the end.
Reading Monk's articles, he often says bet aggressively when you flop a strong hand, and I do that. But for example, when I flop top trips, with no str8 or flush onboard, I bet aggressively. Only for players to call all the way along and hit their flush/str8 by the river. Or...I flop 4 to the flush, holding the Ace of that suit with no pairs on the board. So I tag along, only for the board to pair at the river, as I hit my flush, and some monkey has a full house, 3s over 7s or something similar.
And so that is how it goes, I often bet aggresively just so I can build up SOMEONE ELSE'S pot.
Most of this good advice you see posted on these great fourms, seem to be only for use at the $25/$50/$100 limits and upwards. So if any of you Poker Pros, who started off down at my level, have any tips for playing Micro-limits, I'd be very grateful. Is it just a case of sticking with ABC poker? Can you chase off weaker hands at this level in Omaha?
One more question, what VP$IP should you ideally have playing Omaha?
Cheers,
SS
