I've Come Full Circle

Well, after a long six months of traning and finally finishing that up, I actually have been playing any game BUT omaha for the past month or two. I just needed a break from it after grinding it pretty much non stop to pay for my course.

Funny thing happens though when you pick up other games - you learn things that you can apply to your primary game. For instance, after playing 6max no limit for a while, a solid "TAG" style in that game will have a vpip of around 20% and a pfr of above 15%, and usually the closer these two numbers are in relation to each other the better.

I had been looking back on the forum at some of the first posts I was making in the omaha forum last August when I picked the game back up. For a while I was running at around a 30/6. How I managed to not go broke, I'm really not quite sure.

I've put in a couple sessions the last few days, and have been doing extremely well. I'm playing the best poker I've played in quite some time. For the next little while I'm going to focus on building myself back up. I haven't yet decided if I want to play 2 or 4 tables - that will depend on how I'm feeling.

I spent some time as well getting my tracker program more organized, setting up my head up display more effectively, and just generally making my layout more appealing and informative.

Another funny thing happened last night too...I was approached by one of the other S7S members who is looking to learn some of the ins and outs of playing omaha. Now this guy plays WAY higher limits than I do at his main game, but doesn't have much experience in omaha. We were chatting for about an hour on skype while I was two tabling. He's actually a VERY solid poker player and thinks about the game on a high level. I picked up a few concepts from him that I can apply to my omaha game, so it's a very interesting dynamic. I have no doubt that he'll be crushing the omaha games after a few more chats and sessions.

Anyway, looking forward to the next little while, hopefully putting in hands and building things back to where I can start climbing up through the limits.
