Dark Matter eLiquid

Enjoy the wonderful flavor of our latest VapeSafe eLiquid - Dark Matter.

Dark Matter tastes like German chocolate cake. For those of you who have not had the fortunate to try a piece German chocolate cake recently, this is a great way to experience the flavor without getting any of the calories. German chocolate cake is a layered cake filled and topped with a coconut-pecan frosting. Traditionally sweet baking chocolate is used for the chocolate flavor in the actual cake. The robust filling and topping is a caramel made with egg yolks and evaporated milk. Once the caramel is cooked, coconut and pecans are stirred into the mixture. Finally, rich chocolate frosting is spread around the sides of the cake to hold in the filling.

Dark Matter eLiquid by VapeSafe captures the essence of German chocolate cake. Dark Matter eLiquid delivers plumes of vapor and rich chocolatey flavor that you'll want to enjoy again and again. Try Dark Matter today!

Summary: "Excellent."

When I read and reviewed Jeff's first book I said that if you could only buy one book on Omaha poker that would be the one. I still feel that way. However, if you get hooked on Omaha and want to advance you skills, then you must invest in this book.

There is so much information that it will take two or three readings to process all of it. While there are a lot of hand examples; I found that seeing multiple examples helped cement the concepts he was trying to teach. Don't rush through them.

His advice here is not just Omaha advice, but solid poker tips. My weakest point in my game is the post flop play, not only in Omaha, but also Hold 'em. His book gives you the foundation to make your post flop play stronger than your opponenets. That's the core of small ball play.

Probably the most important concept, besides the float, explained by Jeff in this book is just how powerful position is in the game. While I have always heard and sort of understood that position was important, Jeff hammers it home in this book. I doubt I will ever play as loose as he does from the button, but you will come away with a complete understanding of this important concept.

The SPR is helpful, but let's be honest; I don't have the time at the poker table to calculate SPR's. But, I will recognize who has a short stack and is in push and shove mode. Also, if the stacks are deep, and you are floating, then it is important to play the small ball concept.

I was suprised at how big the pots would get in just a $1-$2 game. The discussion of bankroll management was humbling and it is doubtful that I will be able to play beyond the on-line games. I have not tried the electronic games at the Excalibur but next time in Vegas I may sit down at one.

If you are not serious about Omaha, I would skip this book. If you want to improve your post flop Omaha play, expand your hand selection and hopefully your bankroll as well, then this book is for you.

Summary: "solid stuff"

good and easy to read plo book with a lot of good stuff to add to ones game.
as said probably not the best book to read if you are new to plo but for others this is a must have.
maybe a little bit too many hand examples but otherwise its all good.

i have to say some of the stuff seems "old" to me, like constant floating does not work as well as described in this book imo, even at micro stakes peeps keeps 2-3 barreling making the floats much harder.

still got some solid advise and looking forward to the part 2.

Summary: "Fantastic Omaha book, even improved my Hold'em game!"

This book does for Omaha what Professional No-Limit Hold 'em: Volume I did for Hold'em, with clear stack-to-pot ratio instructions. He also explains why "Small Ball" as described by Daniel Negreanu in Power Hold'em Strategy works even better in Omaha, because starting hands aren't usually more than a 60/40 favorite, making position even more important. As a Hold'em player new to Omaha, I found the way he compares and contrasts Omaha to Hold'em to be invaluable.

Summary: "Lots of information"

Jeff Hwang's next instalment in his Omaha series offers a range of advice for playing PLO Omaha. As an advanced book it assumes a basic knowledge of the game, though I generally find the book would be useful even to newcomers (once they get over a small terminology gap).

The book is divided into several sections which could be read in any order. For a newer Omaha player we'd recommend actually skipping the first several chapters and starting directly with Small Ball. This is the starting point to the overall strategy and offers the most general view of the game.

We suspect Hwang might disagree somewhat since he indicates his strategy is somewhat based on floating, the topic of the first chapter. Though even without that first chapter his examples tend to be understandable and his strategy clear.

Once those overall strategy chapters are read, or if you've been playing Omaha a while, the rest can be scanned and read in any order. It is a lot of material that can't likely be appreciated in one or two sittings.

Many topics, such as the Stack-to-Pot ratio are well reviewed and relevant to any poker player. Further to this, much of the general advice is not just Omaha specific and could apply to a variety of games.

The focus of the book however is on Pot-Limit Omaha and that game is used as the inspiration to support all his ideas. Core to the book, and as the title implies, is small ball and short-handed play. Strangely they reside in different chapters though one gets the impression that Hwang is actually presenting them as a single strategy.

Hwang writes in a personal style and involves the reader in what he is presenting. This made the book mostly easy to read and interesting enough to go further. Concepts are presented with lots of information but I never felt overloaded at any time.

Several sample hands are provided for analysis and walk-through. I enjoy going through a few hands at times, but here it sometimes feels like too many are present. I found myself skipping several pages of them to get to more of Hwang's informative prose.

Overall a good book and a decent read. Certainly any Omaha player would find it useful and any poker player in general could find it informative.
