Pot Limit Omaha With Hal Lubarsky at Full Tilt
Wednesday, October 8th, 2008 by Phil
I decided to sit down and play some pot limit Omaha high/low tonight. I’m normally not a big fan of this game when it is pot limit… I’m still not a fan of it, but they had a seat open and I felt like sitting down to play with Hal Lubarsky for a little while.
Most of you probably know Hal because he has been shown on ESPN the last 2 years during their WSOP coverage. Lubarsky is one of the only players who comes to the WSOP who is legally blind. He plays with the help of someone who reads his cards for him at the live poker tables, and he has also recently joined the team of pros at Full Tilt Poker.
It seemed like he played pretty well because he was able to take a few dollars from me. However, I only lasted about 4 hands so I can’t really tell you much more than that. To Hal’s credit, he wasn’t the one doing the sucking out against me. I was able to get my chips in good; I was actually in a nice spot to triple up but I couldn’t get my hand to hold up, despite having the best high hand and a nice redraw for the low.
I figured this was a sign, or more like a reminder as to why I
dislike Omaha H/L when it is played as a pot limit game. I was also out
of money… so I didn’t have much of a choice but to leave the table.
You can play with Hal as well as the other pros like Phil Ivey and Gus Hansen at Full Tilt Poker.
