World Blogger Championship of Online Poker (WBCOOP) 2013

6

I am taking part in the World Blogger Championship of Online Poker (WBCOOP) 2013 promotion. To take part in this promotion, I am required to write and share with my friends and followers via social media, a 500 (five hundred) word blog post or short video clip, no longer than 60 seconds in length (“Video Blog”), describing “What has been my best moment playing on PokerStars?”.

What has been my best moment playing on PokerStars?

I have those moments very often because of Pokerstars. I am Omaha High/Low player and PokerStars is the only site where I can find the right traffic and multitable. So my best moment is just being able to play the game that I love. Thank you Pokerstars!

Why do I play Omaha High/Low? Why is it more fun than hold'em to me?

Omaha High/Low is easier to master than hold'em. Decisions in Omaha High/Low are simpler than those in hold’em. This is particularly true of pre-flop hand selection and decisions made on the flop.

Omaha High/Low is easy to beat at low limits. I play mostly at 0.02$/0.05$ and 0.05$/0.1$. The highest I played was 0.5$/1$. the Pot Limit Omaha Hi Lo games are typically very loose. There are some players that consider Omaha High/Low to be hold’em with four cards, so they play more hands than is optimal for maximizing their profit. This creates a great opportunity for me. I am selective (sometimes too much…) and I understand hand values.

Omaha High/Low has lower variance (lesser swings) because it is a split game – high hand splits the pot with low hand, if there is a low. Playing Omaha High/Low is a great fun because it offers a lot of excitement. This is the game of draws and re-draws, many hands are decided on the river.

The game affords many exciting aspects (large pots, difficulty of knowing which players are playing for high and/or low, pushing out second best hands with third best hands). As I am also a bonus chaser – Omaha High/Low is just perfect for me since pots are usually bigger than in other poker games. Omaha High/Low games have more raked hands that can count towards bonus withdrawal requirements or to get higher level status.

In 2013 I am planning to obtain Goldstar status each month. I mostly play cash games and from time to time I play tournaments. I enjoy playing Omaha High/Low no matter what happens.

If I took the poker chips and the money involved in the game extremely seriously, it would create stress and dislike for the game when I was losing. I just have a solid bankroll managment. Losing sessions, bad beats are unavoidable. I dont want to be discouraged by the inevitable. I always focus on the quality of my play and I enjoy making good decisions.

Here is a link to my last hand of one of the tournaments I played. I have not won any money there. I was not very happy because of that but I enjoyed my good decisions and the way I played the hand. https://pokertexas.net/szkola-pokera/rozdania/835-tcoop-02-55-nl-omaha-hilow-pokerstars/

So If you want to have best moments while playing poker all the time (as I do) just play Omaha High/Low at PokerStars and enjoy making good decisions!

  1. Kurwa, Krzychu życie mi ratujesz, gdyby nie twój wpis i moje nieczytanie regulaminu, napisałbym to po polsku ;D Powodzenia i do zobaczenia przy stole, jakbyś mógł, wyślij mi proszę nr eventów w których chcesz zagrać, może gramy jakieś razem 😀

  2. uprzejmie proszę czytelników o wyrozumiałość. nie mogłem napisać po polsku, ponieważ w regulaminie mistrzostw dal blogerów pokerstars zastrzegł, że blog napisany musi być: po angielsku, rosyjsku, francusku, hiszpańsku, włosku, niemiecku, duńsku lub portugalsku. zdecydowałem sie na angielski.

    nie wiem dlaczego pokerstars nie dopuścił języka polskiego…. szkoda…

    w każdym razie, jeżeli ktoś ma ochotę do poczytania po polsku – to zachęcam do przeczytania mojego wpisu z zeszłego roku, napisanego z okazji mistrzostw blogerów 2012.
