Win Rates in Omaha

Win Rates at Limit O8

What are sustainable winrates at O8? Reports vary.

Mike Cappelletti says 2-3 BBs per hour is sustainable in his book

Mason Malmuth says 2.5 BBs per hour is typical for a good player in his book.

But both of them are basing that data in live play, which is considerably worse than internet play, but also slower.

My own pokertracker data is showing an aggregate winrate of a little below 2.0BBs/hour per table for the combined levels from .5-1 up to 5-10, which is 25,000 hands. And I feel my play still has significant room for improvement.

My own data shows that playing $3-6 generates $9/hour, or with 3-tabling, $27/hour. But I feel that win-rate is significantly below where is should be (I have a problem with tilt!). I have been playing poker seriously for about a year, and O8 seriously for about 6 months. Of course, I've been playing, reading and posting like a crazed maniac, and I feel I give much better advice that I am able to implement myself.

So I think you guys should definitely be able to achieve those win rates and probably do much better!

Win Rates in PLO8

Generally speaking, anything over 10 BB/100 is a pretty good win rate at PLO8 up to PLO8 $600 level. The best players can win 20BB or more. And you should be happy if you are winning 5+BB/100 when relatively new. After the $600 level, winrates go down because the players just get better.

Note: BB stands for big bet and is the measure used in Pokertracker. So if you are playing a $1=small blind and $2=big blind game then a big bet=$4
