Omaha Hi Lo stats

Can any of you omaha folks take a look at these and give opinions?

I expect i'm playing way too many hands?


183 hands played and saw flop:
- 33 times out of 35 while in small blind (94%)
- 33 times out of 34 while in big blind (97%)
- 72 times out of 114 in other positions (63%)
- a total of 138 times out of 183 (75%)

Pots won at showdown - 43 out of 66 (65%)
Pots won without showdown - 19

I'd say you're SB is a big leak... you're playing far too many hands OOP

What levels are you playing at? I ask only because I was playing a good amount of O8 microlimit 10c/20c and a good proportion of the pots were limped preflop. If thats the case then it is kinda understandable that you would see so many flops from the blinds.

If you are calling raises from the blinds then you need a hand. I found that I was speculating far too much from the blinds with marginal holdings and losing with marginal one way hands. What your stats aren't showing is how many of the wins at showdown was for a 1/2 or 1/4 of the pot. 65% is good but when you factor in the times you are not scooping and those horrible times you get a quarter then playing so many hands is a losing proposition.

How many handed is this? It sounds a bit too loose alright. Bear in mind that a low hand is possible 60% of the time, so playing a hand without a low possibility is never going to be a big EV move

I would play hands without low possibilities if I think I can get the high half locked. What I have found is that people do not fold made lows when they have no high hand, most don't fold draws to the low so if you can get at least two others in the pot when the best they can get is a 1/4 then high only can be +EV

Sorry, I didn't give enough info. Those are 9 handed tourney stats. Low stakes, and very little action preflop.

In which case your seen flops from blinds is understandable. It looks as though you are seeing too many hands. Good 1 way hands are playable in position to little or no action preflop but you have to let them go if there is too much action. I would also be interested how many of the 43 hands were scooped or at least showed profit as stats can be misleading if you are winning quarters and losing money/chips

It is very hard to give any feedback on this based on the fact that they are low stakes, passive tourney hands. You are definitley limping too much though. If it is rarely raised, then fair enough from blinds (although SB should still be folded more probably). I don't play much O8, but i'd imagine the range should be at least as tight as in PLO, if not tighter. Then again it seems like you won 62/183 hands, so it seems like the competition isn't that hot or else you just ran good.

The problem with the win stats is that it doesn't define whether a win is a scoop or not sticking round with made lows and no high is a lot worse than sticking around with a made high as you are, in my limited experience, much more likely to quarter with a low than with a high this can be expensive and you can display a win having lost money on the hand
