    Hey there,

    I am Emilio, 23 years old, beggan playing poker just a little over a year ago. First starting with NLHE and trying to learn the game gave me the curiosity to play online, therein I stumbled upon with omaha and decided to mess around a bit with the game. I had no idea how the game was played and made the obvious mistake of playing it just like if it was NLHE. Still, it wasn´t such a big deal since my swings where not huge even though I was playing a horrible strategy; it didn´t really matter since I am grinding the microstakes.

    I am very curious and thought that maybe learning omaha would help me to better understand NLHE and so that was how it all started. I bought two books – “Pot-Limit omaha poker, the big play strategy, by Jeff Hwang” and “Mastering small stakes pot-limit omaha” by Fernando. The first book helped me understand hand properties that are important to grasp in order to have a better hand selection. Afterwards I read the second book and was blowned away by just how deep and massive the game could be. It made me get the reason of why it is important to play GTO and turned my inner flame for curiosity.

    I am not a big winner, but at the beggining of this year I manage to create a $1000 USD with a $20 investment. I was grinding the micros (2NL) for about 3 months last year and made about $150 in profit. Then I got some freerolls on pokerstars and won $720 in a heads-up turbo zoom bounty hunter NLHE format tournament. I got to be in first on the leaderboard for some time and ended on 26th out of 12k players. That motivated me greatly since it was my first real achievement since I started playing seriously and was elated by the notion of having a chance to try this dream. Afterwards I went to my local casino to play a small live tournament that was $15 to entry. I finished 1st and got an extra $350 added to my bankroll.

    That was enough motivation to search for more information since now I think I have enough of a roll to actually do something. As of now I deposited $1k on GGpoker to play 10PLO. My first session I was already down about $150 and it was really hard for me. I´ve been reading Fernando´s book this past few months to try to analize the strategies and incorporate them into my game. Needless to say, I am still making huge mistakes and thus I decided to invest some money into the mastermind. I was planning on doing so anyway, only a few months in the future since I wanted to save some money to get a complete year membership. Still… I rather start righ away and see how things develop. I am starting with the 10 week transformation due to advertisement. But I am curious if I could also check some other content on par with that. If someone might give me suggestions as to where to begin so that I may incorporate both plans into my study, it would be of utmost appreciation.

    I am very happy to have the opportunity to be here and learn this very beautifully complex game. Honestly, nothing had spike my interest as much as omaha. It is a incredible game and I really want to learn how to be a crusher. I feel motivated and passionate for the game.

    I think that about covers my introduction. I am really hoping to find cool people with whom I can have conversations and improve my game whilst I help them be better as well. Much love and good luck to you all. May your dreams manifest.
