they run a $3-6 omaha hi/lo where you get dealt 5 cards instead of 4, what kind of basic strategy adjustments should I make to beat that game?

It might be 5 card bingo I know, but damn it's a juicy game and I want to sit down sometime
take your ego out of the equation and judge the situation dispassionately

You'll have to tighten up even more, but going for scoops will be even easier with 5 cards.

Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

I take it this is a short handed table. Otherwise youre going to have to start playing poker with 2 decks


Holdem-{tighter}->Pineapple-{tighter}->Omaha-{tighter}->5 card Omaha(HI/LO)

I guess you just have to play tighter the more cards you start with. Thats going to be a really boring casino game 1 tabling unless you can make some friends and tell some jokes .

Im thinking about what the best hand would be. Probably something like AAKQ2 ....actually I think Id prefer AAK23 .Id try and play alot of 9TJQx type hands with a suit or 2 in a live game because i can imagine people will be marrying KKxxx. If they look like patient players though then its going to be hella boring.
gabe: Ive dropped almost 100k in the past 35 days.
