Er Championship Omaha god?

Hej

I et forsøg på at udvide min pokerhorisont en smule overvejer jeg at anskaffe:

Championship Omaha af Tom McEvoy & T.J. Cloutier

Men er den god?

Oh, fandt også lige en fremragende anmeldelse af bogen af Mason Malmuth.

Championship Omaha by T.J. Cloutier and Tom McEvoy.
This text covers the games of Omaha high-low-split eight-or-better, limit Omaha high, and pot limit Omaha. Despite its title, most of the advice is written for a beginner, and as with the other books in this series the advice tends to be weak-tight in spots. For example, in the Omaha high-low-split section we are told “that you always want a hand with an A-2 or A-3 in it and at least one other low card” and not to play hands like KQJ6 for half a bet out of the small blind. Unless the game is very tight, this should encourage you to pass on many profitable situations.

I did find the section on pot limit Omaha to be reasonably good, especially if you are new to the game. That’s probably because when you make a mistake in this game instead of losing an extra bet all your chips can disappear. So advice to be overly cautious makes more sense.

The sample hands should also prove valuable to someone starting out. However, a few of the hands that they fold I would play, but in fairness the decisions are close.

Finally, there is another problem in this text which occurs in all the books in this series. It is that the writing could be much better. Not only does the language need to be tightened up, but the authors can’t stay on topic. For instance, when you read “say that you call a $500 bet in a no limit hold ’em tournament that you’re not suppose to call,” you can’t help but wonder what this is doing in the section on limit Omaha high-low-split eight-or-better.
