I know I've made comments in the past about letting the luck even out, but at the moment it's feeling like I'm getting run over by the players I'd generally want to have at the table...
This lunchtime, I lost $80 playing at a 6-max Omaha H/L Limit $1/2 table where one player was raising every hand and every street (well, he folded on the river once and just called a raise a couple of times, but generally it was raise, raise, raise, almost guaranteed).
I tried raising pre-flop to push out other players with a strong high hand, but then lows hit and apart from one scoop, that just lost money.
So I switched to looking more at A2, A35 suited and so on, calling and seeing what the flop brought, but I just either missed the low, didn't make a high, and got scooped pretty much every time.
At the moment I'm seeming to have small wins and (relatively) massive losses. It wouldn't be so bad if I was having a lot of small wins to outweight the losses, but right now I'm not. I've cleared about $5 of bonus while losing $85 at Full Tilt.
So, my question, for the other Limit Omaha H/L players out there is this: what strategy would you adopt in this situation? I tightened up my hand requirements a little, and decided that generally I wanted to see a flop as cheaply as possible, because I could swell the pot enough anyway, but that didn't work. Was that the right strategy? Or should I have looked more at A23 or high hands? Or is a raiser like that a bad proposition at Limit Omaha H/L, and should I aim more for passive tables?
