Omahahahaha to the Back Burner

I've decided I need an omaha break. After five months of playing that primarily, I need some time away from it. I started this month on a crappy downswing that just doesn't seem to be letting up, so rather than keep putting in hands and donating money, I'm gonna play some holdem for the time being.

I'm starting out overrolled really, but until I get comfortable, I think that's the smartest way to do it. I have ~75 buyins for the limit I'm playing now. After the first 10k hands or so, I'll reevaluate where I think I should be. I think ~50 buyins is a comfortable level for me so for right now, I'll grind at $25 until I can get to $2500, then think about taking the move up to $50, depending how I'm doing.

Played my first session last night, after getting some advice from the regulars on the fullcontactpoker board. I'd forgotten how many hands you fold in that game (as opposed to omaha, where most any combination of 4 cards looks playable). The benefit to that, however, is that I can play six tables, as opposed to the four I was playing at omaha. I have to see how that translates out as far as earning ironman points and rakeback, but it looks pretty comparable to omaha in that I got $1/100 hands at $25nl. I'm not sure about the ironman points though, I'll have to track that with tonight's hands.

Had some good results too (for a change). Made 2 buyins over a 300 hand span, and played what I thought was pretty solid. I spewed off a buyin early with a bad preflop call, but I learned from it, and won't make the same mistake again, so it was worth the $25. I posted some hands and questions, and as usual the guys on the forum had some good advice. I'll continue to use that to mold a NL game, and see how we do.

Oh, and stay away from tournaments....lol.
