Nut flush

Another thing I've read on the internet about Omaha is that it's a game of the nuts, meaning that it often takes the very best representative of a hand type to win. For instance, it's not a good idea to bet too heavily on a flush which isn't ace high, since there's a decent possibility of an ace high flush (the nut flush) being out there. This possibility is much less in Hold'em, due to fewer hole cards.

In last Friday night's session, I doubled up when I hit an ace high flush, and an opponent with a queen high flush just couldn't lay down his cards. That was at a $5/$10 table; I'm going to scout around tonight for a $10/$20 table. I'm also considering lobbying Pokerstars to add $100/$200 play money Omaha tables. That's the only way I'll get to $2 million dollars in play money within a reasonable timeframe!

During current Omaha session you were dealt 38 hands and saw flop:
- 5 out of 7 times while in big blind (71%)
- 3 out of 7 times while in small blind (42%)
- 17 out of 24 times in other positions (70%)
- a total of 25 out of 38 (65%)
Pots won at showdown - 4 of 9 (44%)
Pots won without showdown - 2

delta: $2,040
balance: $1,019,647
