Longest Loss-less Span

I bought Winning Omaha/8 Poker
by Mark Tenner, Lou Krieger.

I found it very good for starting to learn the game and know how to win. Biggest key it seems: play mostly cards with a chance to sweep the high and low. Do not bother with the split-pot crap hands.

Thanks for the link... do you think I should read it? I mean ... I like where I'm at with my hold-em game, both NL and L, so should I ever bother learning a new game? Is the Omaha action that much better? I'm guessing Geoff will say yes.

i think that with o8b there is a much better chance of putting together a long win streak than there is with holdem, especially at the lower limits. because so few people actually play well, there is a significant edge to the experienced player in these games. if you know what you are doing, and you can lay down marginal hands, then you have a very good cance of surviving in the game.

recently i have been on a pretty good streak as well, and the only losing session that I have had was because i left the table when it went heads up, and i wasnt that interested in playing shorthanded that day. other than that, every session has been a pretty good winner.
