So, i was playing some Omaha High/Low tonight. I switch to a new table and everything goes fine for a hand or two. Someone then decides (after bitching and complaining about everyone else) to “make the table slow” … what does he do? He waits until the time limit on every hand and raised every time to keep the hand going as long as possible. He said this was to “punish” us for “cheating.” Real mature. Interestingly, he was raising every time (in a Limit game) regardless of what he held. We were taking his money left and right, it was just a very slow process.

I gave up after 3 or so hands (which took minutes for each hand. Hands per hour when I left for that table was an astoundingly low 11.) … I get people being jackasses, because that’s the way some people are on the net. but this guy was costing himself money. This behavior completely blows my mind.

Anyway, that isn’t even why I’m posting, it’s just incidental. I’ve been really liking Omaha recently, but I’m still pretty terrible at it. Does anyone have any recommendations for decent books on Omaha? I’ve found a lot of books out there, but am not sure which one to get. There’s a book that looks decent out there by Shane Smith and Don Vines called “Omaha High-Low Poker: How To Win at the Lower Limits.” If I were buying one without any advice, that’s the one I’d probably go for. Is anyone familiar with this book? I can’t find any specifically geared for online play, though, which is what I really want. There’s no way I’d play anything except Hold ‘Em in a casino at this point, so advice with online play would be best. Anyway, any suggestions?
