Default New to rakeback.com

to begin, I would like to thank and congratulate rakeback for their ingenuity in rewarding their poker community by offering great freerolls and reimbursing a fraction of "rakes" back to the members of their community.
Next I would like to share some information with our community. I have become an avid PLO (Pot -Limit Omaha) player and have found great cash games and tournaments with most players at a novice level of play or simply loose with their money. PLO is a great way to build your bankroll, because loose play is limited by the "Pot-Limit" which aids in keeping you from committing yourself to a hand that does not work out (like a set failing to boat with a flush or straight on the board). In addition, their is a lot of action giving you great odds on your money, moreover, the boards are pretty honest when it comes to the best hand because more often than not somebody has the "nuts."
If you missed out on the early fad of Texas hold 'em, Omaha is the new wave you can hang ten!!!
I would love to see rakebake offer some Omaha tournaments and hope to find all of you there!!!
Thanks again rakeback!!!

Welcome to the site. I have to be honest... PLO is not my game. I need to play it more and improve my skills in it but it's very different from the mindset I have when it comes to poker. I was raised in a stud and draw family... and hold'em is close enough that I can manage to hold my own (for the most part). But something about Omaha breaks my thought process in ways that I am sure makes me a complete fish at those tables.

Omaha is a great game! It requires great discpline to be very good at it though. Thats why I think Omaha is more profitable to solid or players that been around the block. You must be able to see all the different possiblities and must be able to fold a good hand. I have been trying Omaha every now and again, it is growing on me.

Hi illegible card glad you could join us I agree PLO is one of my favorite games away from HE and Razz...I also love TD27 but it's hard to find online.

Anyway nice intro, welcome and best of luck at the tables!
