Goph, that just gave me an idea for a new post.
Which games should you play and have a better chance of winning at when drunk. lol
Omaha H/L when played sober (assuming other players at the table are sober too) keeps me thinking.
However, it is somewhat of a chasing game because post flop you tend to have a lot of possibilities.
I especially like the hands where I am UTG and call. I have a decent hand. The flop comes and there are so many possibilites I have a hard time figuring them all out. The timer starts chirping at me because I am running out of time. I say to myself “shit” and just click check so I can figure it out while others decide on their hands.lol

I agree with what you are saying Dave – and Blagz too. One other common mistake I see, is to think you have a full house , where in fact you only have trips. I’ve lost many a hand like that.

I’ve been waiting on someone sticking an omaha hi/lo tutorial together. As you know, I play this game best when drunk!! I tend to do very well when drunk, but it’s obviously down to pure luck than anything else.

It is pretty hard to add a comment to a tutorial mate .. Aside from yup right so far. lol

One mistake I think people make is that they play their Omaha HiLo pockets cards as 2 Hold’em hands. When they really should be looking for combinations of 3 playable hands as an absolute minimum.
