Rolf Slotboom and Rob Hollink join forces to produce THE definitive guide, to short-handed Pot-Limit Omaha (tables with six or fewer players).
Do you know Pot-Limit Omaha is one of the fastest growing forms of poker?

Rolf and Rob will tell you how to:
- Gauge the optimum size of the buy-in
- Decide whether to check-raise or bet into the raiser
- Represent big hands
- Misrepresent hands in order to get paid off
- Get your opponents off good, but non-nut hands
- Judge when to raise with drawing hands

Rob Hollink has been a leading player for over 20 years and has won both a European tour title and, in 2008, a World Series bracelet.

PLO is definitely where it’s at, at the moment, especially six max and this is definitely a welcome addition to the bookshelf, with the majority of other PLO guides concentrating on full ring games. Despite sounding like a children’s TV presenting duo - Rolf and Rob really know their stuff. Unlike many poker strategy books, chapters are extremely focused with specific situations looked at in high detail - rather than the more general style that is prevalent. 8.5 out of 10.
If you are a bit more experienced, there will be many ideas to pick in this book, even if you do not strictly follow Rolf’s style. Recommended if you are not a beginner.
