on-line omaha question

    :confused: Have been playing hold 'em live and on-line for quite a while, but decided to give Omaha a go on-line. I got 2 abusive player votes after a hand I played (and won).

    Is there an obvious mistake a HE player could make when changing to Omaha that could warrant this?

    Not sure what my hand was, it was bad though, so I checked but everyone else folded leaving me with the pot (left the table after that due to risk of causing the same infringement again).:confused:

    There is no real way to anser that question properly. They are very different games. Main differences I would say are:

    Must use 2 cards from your 4 but I presume you know that.
    It takes bigger hands to win pots mostly, as with 4 cards you have 6 different 2-card combinations.

    My guess is that you stayed in the hand on a non-nut gutshot and hit? Other than that, I suggest you read up on it or use play money to find out a bit more about hand strenghts, playing draws etc.

    Just on that where would you find rules on Hi-lo omaha? Is it on ppp? I have to admit I tried one of the competitions and did quite well but couldn't understand why I won sometimes! So before I go back where would i get a copy of the rules of Omaha hi-lo.

    The main difference I found was that your give 4 pocket cards and must use 2 of these along with 3 board cards to fill your hand. Oh, you'll usually need a much more decent hand than you do in Hold Em.

    I'm still confused about why I was given two abusive votes in my maiden game, guess I'll have to start playing again and ask why i get them next time! Well either that or just go back to hold 'em!

    On Pokerroom play money tables you can give a player an abusive vote if they are annoying you. If they get a certain amount (3 or 4) they get kicked off the table. Dont think it follows through to the real money tables though

    In a live game, can't see them throwing out a player who'se
    paying them rake :rolleyes:
