Farha On Four Card Bingo err... Omaha

Filed in archive Poker Books on December 31, 2007

Over at PokerPlayerNewspaper.com I found a review of a poker book that is dear to my gambling heart. Almost 95% of my play (and money) is shuffled off over various portions of the internet playing Omaha Hi and Omaha Hi/Lo Eight or Better.

One of the biggest names in Omaha poker is none other then the runner-up to Chris Moneymaker at the world series of poker Main Event, owner of a PLO WSOP bracelet, and can be seen in many episodes of "High Stakes Poker" on the Game Show Network. Sammy Farha laid down his unlit cigarette long enough to talk shop with Storms Reback with his new book "Farha on Omaha".

Will I be receiving a copy? That depends on a generous publisher of course! Actually, I am planning on plunking down a few big blinds for this as I want to move to the next level of play thru the minds of various Omaha pros.

Here's part of Howard Schwartz's review on the book from PPN (for the rest follow the link):

Designed to accommodate the newcomer to the game, the book doesn't skimp on new ideas for experienced players. Many of these tips revolve around matches against other name players. And while there are no charts, tables, mathematical equations or illustrated hands, the book reveals concepts such as basic strategy, play before and on the fl op and beyond the fl op, and tournament advice. And while most people recognize him as a World Series of Poker winner and a WPT fi nalist, he does not play many tournaments.
