    Five days after you posted this video you sat down next to me at the 20-40 LO8 table at Bellagio and chatted with us (but didn't play, unfortunately). Good video--I would say you covered 70-80% of what I would teach someone (if I were to teach them all the advanced LO8 strategy). One thing that wasn't discussed much was PLO8 vs LO8 and I feel this video was geared more towards LO8 (which is fine since it's the more common live cash game).

    Thanks Daniel. I used to be a NLHE Cash & tournament player but since watching streamers like TalonChick & jcarver play Hi-Lo, NLO8, Omaha Hi-Lo has become my game of choice. So much more fun & the number of hands that you can play is so much bigger.

I watch it every time I’m about to go in and play I don’t change my play at all I fold until I get the correct combination and 8 out of ten times I’m either gonna scoop or get half the pot. Once you learn all the mistakes there’s no reason why you can’t win every time you play. Thank you Kid Poker. Don’t leave home without an ACE!!

    It looks like the greater number of hole cards makes it more randomized, thus favoring big-stack players, even with fixed limit, just like NLHE. Correct?

  • @G0DofRock
    @G0DofRock Před 2 lety

    I accidentally joined a 120 player PLO Hi/Lo tournament..I know how to play PLO, didnt really get the Hi/Lo part but didnt play garbage like most people.
    Found it quite easy, finished 2nd place for $40..Had the lead 25bb vs 8bb but he had a lucky streak.
    Think I might play more PLO, a bit more to calculate but it's fun and fish don't know how to play.
    Cash games were draining my bankroll, just keep chipping up but you lose one big hand and you're down for the day.
    SNG's and other tournaments seem pretty soft too.

    If I have a pair of 7s and the board is 5689A do I have just a pair of 7s or is it a straight? I'm assuming just a pair of 7s because you have to use both hole cards

    • @davidsnobl2192
      @davidsnobl2192 Před 7 lety +2

      Correct, unless you also have a 4 with it for an 8 high straight, or a 5, 6, 8, or 9 with those 7s (just one being used, of course) for a 9 high straight, or a 10 with it for a 10 high straight. Without any of these combinations, and you only have a pair of 7s.

    • @Jivvi
      @Jivvi Před 5 lety

      A pair doesn't count for a low because the cards have to all be different ranks, but having a low that is also a straight or flush doesn't stop you from having a low.
      Its different from 2-7, because straights and flushes *do* count against you, which is why 23457 is the best hand, and not A2345.

    • @brizzlex1919
      @brizzlex1919 Před 2 lety +1

    Why are you allowed to not bet the nuts in Omaha H-L specifically? And why do you think this rule is stupid? (I understand it only applies to the river when you are last to act - you must bet or raise to avoid "soft play").

    • @davidsnobl2192

      Because in some situations, getting quartered, or sometimes even less, costs you more money than what you make. And you can get quartered (or worse) for high too, not just low.

    The thing about Hilo and Omaha in general, it feels like you’re playing with a completely different deck. Whole mindset has to change from Holdem.

  • @ligafftheindifferent3495

    O8 should be played with K high. Aces should ONLY be low. TJQKA is NOT a straight here. A2345 is still the nuts for low and is still a straight, , but the Ace in your is next to worthless for the high. This makes it impossible to have a monster low with awesome high, such as
    As2s3c4. The strong low creates very weak flushes and no high pairs. The only really good low hand with decent high potential would be A23K with a suited king. KKA2 would also be a beast, but could not have counterfeit protection. This should make the balance between low oriented hands and high oriented hands more level. I expect this game would be far better played with 5 cards.

      @Jivvi Před 5 lety +1

      It's not a great hand, but if you can see a cheap flop, you might be able to make a wheel or a set, and you have less chance of chopping the low because you have blockers. If it's suited or double suited, you also have a chance to make a nut flush and draw to a low with half the pot already locked up, barring a paired board on later streets.

    This video turned me to a chronic winner from chronic a loser in one viewing.

    I noticed in your list of Powerful Low Hands you went from A-2-3-4 to A-2-4-5. Wouldn't the next best hand be A-2-3-5?

      The best hands for making straights are hands with two connected cards, one gap, and another two connected cards, like 9-T-Q-K, 5-6-8-9, or 7-8-T-J. The best hand like that in Hi-Lo is A-2-4-5, because it has more chances to make a straight and is also a really good low draw.

      I can hear him loud and clear on less than half volume, no earplugs. Perhaps its time to upgrade your computer/speakers.

      Isaiah Webb so you get have a royal flush and split the pot with someone that has a pair of 2's?

      im saying they must have had more low cards thats the only way they can split.

      pault989 you clearly need to watch the video again.... low is 5 unpaired cards below 8... that's literally all it means, but the lower the better.

      I flopped quads with a better kicker. Chop it up!
