But it’s more how they are playing, imo.

Took me a long time (and a lot of money) to learn to play O8 well. At first I thought it was complicated. It isn’t, it’s easy. Stick to playing strong hands that play well in both directions and you will dominate. Now, I used to also think that it was higher variance when I thought I started playing the right hands, well, it isnt, it’s less. I just wasnt playing post-flop well enough.

Its this easy. You have KKQJ, and are up agains 4 opponents on a 278 flop. How do you feel about your hand? Well, when I first started playing, I thought I felt pretty good. But lets take this from a Hold’em perspective.

1. There is a low out there. So lets take 1/2 of the pot out and throw it away (since you cant get it).
2. You have 6 Holdem hands, KK, KQ, KJs, KQ, KJ, and QJ. So doesnt everyone else.

So now lets look at the hand again: KKQJ on a 278 flop and talk about it in a Hold’em question:

The pot is cut in half and you are up against 24 opponents. How do you feel about your hand now?

Yes, Mom, that’s real money. No, Mom, that’s not all my money the boys chopped up my action and stuck me in the game. I did good though, the game was great, the players in the game are just really rich and like to gamboooooooooool.

That being said, you can see me play 500/1000 HORSE in my videos that come out on Sunday on DeucesCracked.

I try to kick up the activity of my blog when things settle down.

Hope all is well!
