I think one of the reasons I'm getting bored with poker is that I'm not learning anything new grinding these micro stakes.

Instead of playing bad, I instead have decided to challenge and motivated myself and actually try to learn HORSE.

Monday - Hold'em NLH/L
Tues - Omaha Hi
Wed - R
Thurs - S
Fri - E

I figure it's going to take me about a month to get in decent shape again.. so might as well learn something instead of playing like a Robot.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to lose horribly in the hi/lo games. I only know how to play HI POKER..which sucks..

I have PTH, PTO, now all i need is PTstud.
I'll get it later...right now I just need to understand the basics and stuff. I read some of Chip Reeses' section on Stud, gonna read Daut's article as well.

Anyway should be good for my game. I probably won't be making as much money...but hopefully in the long run I'll be able to expand my game selection. NLH games are getting better and better - which is why I'm gonna study my ass off and learn at LEAST HORSE. I tried reading draw poker in SS1....I dunno I got bored cause it's DRAAAWW....

Anyway what kind of bankroll would you need for these games?

- well LH and NLH I pretty much know the general guidelines.

- PLO I use double cause apparently the STD is double.
- STUD: ??
- Stud Hi/lo: ??
- Omaha hi/lo

(it has go be lower than LH)
- Razz: ?

Anyway some general advice would be nice.

ever think of doing 4 tables and playing LAG style, try to learn to make reads and find times to push people off of hands?

The best advice I can give you for Hi/Lo games = Make sure your hand selection is based on letting youself with either the High or the Low. For example, As2s3s is one of the best hands for stud hi/lo, AsAc2s3c hands are great in omaha Hi/Lo. If your hand going to be able to win Both pieces of the pot, It has to be really really strong to continue (like KKK/QQQ in stud for example).

Razz is pretty much eZ. Just use proper hand values and ranges ect.

Dauts Article on Stud is pretty great too

yah i can do the LAG style playing like 2 table.. can't seem to do it 4 + tabling for some reason. Still working on that.

I used to 1 table LAG when I started out. I just find 8 tabling play TAG a lot more $$ + fpp/rakeback in less time. the FPPs and rakeback just outweighs my LAG 1-2 style.
