Enjoying the games. The games are usually fun with the exception of a few people. I restarted playing poker, in July 2024. Quite different game from 5 & 7 card stud 45 years ago.
I need to learn a lot especially about betting! I found a workable conceptual framework to act in some of the books below. But there isn't as much out there specifically for Omaha Hi lo; a lot for Omaha Hi and that's somewhat transferrable as Hi is 70%+ of the Hi-Lo pot value. And a vast amount out there for HoldEm. This is a good site to learn and I'm trying to imitate some of the better players here.
Books in order of what I like:
1. "How to Win at Omaha High-Low Poker" by Mike Capalletti. I'm only part way through but this 2003 book is consistent with where I think I want to go. I love stats and spreadsheets and will distill much of what he says into a spreadsheet to ingrain the knowledge quicker.
2. "High Low Split Poker" - 1992 Ray Zee book with poker strategy overview and concepts. I got a feel from the meta concepts and have read it twice. It is definitely an interesting read and even though he didn't have the stats in the early 90's; most of what he says is right on and I could validate. He learned at the school of getting your ass kicked probably.
3. "Exploitative Play in Live Poker" by Alexander Fitzgerald. Really liked this book in AudioBooks, bought a paper copy when/if I start playing HoldEm. This book inspired me to stop being so passive and a wussy.
4. "Mastering Small Stakes Pot Limit Omaha" by Habegger is about Omaha Hi only. But many transferable concepts. Part way through. Another book to finish when I start playing HoldEm.
4. "Mental Game of Poker" by Tendler on AudioBooks. I needed this one since I have PTSD from trading futures and mutual funds for a long time. Only playing with chips here, but the ego is important and emotions generated are real. I got good at backgammon and blackjack, am good statistics, but Omaha Hi Lo has many more independent variables.
