I was just wondering what would be a good percentage of flops most consider about right to see. I know they say about 15% on holdem but you will most likely see a lot more in ohmaha 8. just kind of looking for a guideline to see if I am seeing too many flops or am about right. it seems like I don't see as many as most people I play with. Also is there a way to see your stats from the whole time you played on ftp? thanks.

As far as tracking all of your hands, you would need some sort of software, such as the omaha version of poker tracker. I am not sure if this works for O8 though, I would assume that it does.

When playing four tables i like to see around 25% of the flops, because then I don't have to think too hard,
I'm always drawing to the nuts.
You lose out some value, but playing just a2 and four suited broadway cards is the way to learn cheap and get a feel
Some of the better players here can get away with almost 50% but the swings are higher and you need to be focused.

I second what SpaceDaze said. I have had my best sessions seeing about 25% of flops. I usually play .5/1$ PLO8. I'm a stud/hold'em player, O8 is my first split pot game but so far so good.

Just High can be a good starting hand because about half the time, due to the 8 qualifier, a low becomes impossible!
Anyone know the true odds that by the river, there will be no low possible?
A high only hand has roughly 43% to hit 2 cards 9 or better on the flop. But in order to take full advantage of this, you really don't want to play high hands like KQJ4. You want all 4 of your cards high. I'm taking this from Steve Capeletti's book on high/low omaha.
Re: # of players to the flop: if it's more than 37% in an online game, I'm standing up and looking for a tighter table.

and your ability to read hands, etc., etc. If you never defend your blinds, people will always steal from you. If you always play the same types of hands, people will read you like a book.

[Just make sure you have potential to scoop, not just take high or just low.]

About 30% tends to be a good place to be - not extremely tight, but it allows you to win pots from donkeys going for the nut low no matter what comes. Just make sure you have potential to scoop, not just take high or just low.
