During the last two weeks most freerolls I play at Pokerstars are Omaha hi/low, but I think limit turns things even more difficult. If, on one side, one won’t lose everything in the first attempt to get a good pot, on the other side, sometimes it would be great if we had the opportunity to go all-in so we could increase our stack. Knowing how to play with those factors is probably as difficult as playing no-limit. A good hand can turn into a bad one just because the limit amount of bet will allow opponents to take the risk of seeing another card at the table, which can turn odds upside down. MaiseE must be really good at this.
