for me this is the game where I see how fast I can get rid of 10,000 chips. I prefer limit Omaha - my chips last longer :)

Going to be fun, if nothing else!!

I"ve never played Omaha live - think I"m going to have to figure out beforehand how the heck you squeeze out 4 cards under your hand..!!

Okay this may sound a stupid question and will clearly show my complete naivety at playing this game live, but I"m assuming you can just announce a "Pot" bet and the dealer will confirm the amount, or do you need to know yourself ?

Just say pot, and the dealer will work it out for you. Annoying that you can do this in PL but not in NL.

"Pot"

"Nice hand"

"I"ll be at the bar"


These are the only phrases anyone needs in PLO.

And if you are calling a bet then the pot limit raise is after you have added the amount of the call.

Jon forgot to mention the key skill, limp into every pot & THEN pot it after the flop.
