I'm not trying to duck this question, I find it unanswerable.
Deepstacked poker which I define as 250BB plus, is too complicated to reduce to starting hands, and heres why.
All hand values can have implied
odds that cannot be eliminated preflop.
Deepstacks is about balance and the lines you take with hands. It's about opening frequency raising frequency etc. This is the game folks are talking about when they say it is a people game played with cards. It's the game of creating and exploiting mistakes in your opponents. And thats just the tip of the iceberg. This would be a good discussion to start though.
I enjoy Omaha and would gernerally choose to play it. Funny thing is I watched it on tv, and could not follow what was going on. There w
ere hole cards all over the place, etc. IT was just absurd. I still like holdem but feel it is a grind comparitively.
No, but I will. I am one of those stupid people who stands on beliefs. I believe the tournament circuit takes too much money from the poker community.
The
wsop is a particularly bad deal IMO.
As a player, I put up the money.
They get to use my likeness to sell beer and everything else, forever.
They take 3rd place prize money every event.
I could go on but why bother....
Especially because if staked I will play tons of events. So much for standing on my beliefs. LOL
