It certainly is not a prerequisite for a game to be difficult for me to want to play it but I have always found Omaha 8 or better to be a particularly easy game. In Grapsfan’s recent blog it reminded me of that and so I have tried my hand at O/8 and a couple of other mixed games.

Boy was he right, I have played 30-60 Limit the whole time, which is a level you would expect to see a lot of good players. It has been surprising the level of mistakes that people are making and I don’t think I am playing the game optimally at the moment. My instincts have been pretty good but I do not think I have faced a ton of adversity to this point.

Either way it has been nice to get away from No Limit Holdem for a bit and try my hand at something that I know I am good at.

Also I am wondering if a timed game would work on the internet.  When you play private games, as many of you know, the game often starts at 7pm.  I wonder if this would work on the internet? It sure would be nice if there was  say a 50-100 HORSE game that you knew you could count to go off on a certain day.
