I received a text from Jokers Casino asking me if I wanted a seat in the $3-$6 Omaha Hi/Lo Kill game for tonight. Since I have been boycotting the Casino due to one of the dealers I sent back a text asking if that dealer was going to be dealing this evening. The answer I got was "No" he would not be dealing. I accepted the invitation and I headed to the casino when the game was getting ready to start.
Omaha Hi/Lo is a game that I have been studying and learning how to play. I have given more money to the table by doing this and I half expected the same to happen tonight. I haven't played in a while since this casino is the only one around here that plays this game.
I start with $100 on the table and in the first hour the decisions I make are not good. I think I have the low and then I don't. I then start looking at the high and then I am second best. I did win some pots but nothing spectacular. I ended up at one point putting another $100 on the table and figured I need to learn this game and watch more and not play. Play only when I feel I have the nuts.
My second $100 was dwindling and then I caught two hands real close together. I got the nut low and then I got the nut high. This pushed me back over the $100 mark and I had been playing now for 2 hours. My plan was the two hour mark and then get up and go. The other part I did not do what I was supposed to do by putting another $100 on the table but I did walk out with that one in hand when I cashed out. So, tonight cost me the original $100 and I did play the allotted time.
What did surprise me was the fact that Joker's tricked me back into their casino by telling me the dealer would not be dealing tonight. The two that were to start did start but after an hour the dealer I did not want to deal started to deal and that affected my play a little bit since I am sitting in seat one. If I had known they were going to do this I would never have played in this casino. I definitely now will not be going back if I am asked again. I will go back to Crazy Moose and play the $2-$20 game this next week.
I did end up with 5 hours of live play this week.

I feel it's a mistake to play Omaha hi low in a cash game setting. I know many people do but I don't think it's a good idea and this is why. I've played many Omaha Hilow tournaments and unless things are radically different usually you do not Scoup usually you only get half the pot. Therefore if you win a pot you're only getting half of it with that said if you find yourself in the game down $50 and then all of a sudden there's a $50 pot and you Winnett say because you're playing hold 'em you're even for the session but in Omaha hi Lo if you're down $50 and there's a $50 pot and you win nine times out of 10 or maybe worst you only going to get half the pot so you're only halfway back. It seems like it takes twice as long to win the same amount of money that you could win playing Holdam or Omaha hi
Sorry for the typos in that comment the voice activation on my iPhone was giving me a hard time.
Thanks for responding. I probably should not have played since I am doing better in the spread game and the fact I am trying to get my bankroll up. I have been practicing Omaha Hi/Lo and this had been only the 6th time playing live. Another one of those things I need to stay away from.
