First good Omaha Win

The day after my $2 R/A NLHE win i went a big tournament mad. Played 2 $5 Omaha tournaments, a $1 and a $5 NLHE tournament. I busted out of all of them before the first break! When i start feeling a headache coming on i should stop playing. I felt ill it was that bad. Anyway, yesterday i won my first Omaha $2 tournament for $50. Not an amazing win, but 1st out of 80 runners and turning $2 into $50 isnt bad. It also confirms my belief that there is money to be made in these low stakes Omaha tournaments. I realised that one of the most important things is to be able to double up early. I got lucky yesterday, i went to 500 chips from 1000 starting because i didnt hit anything. I was waiting to get it all-in preflop with a strong starting hand, against one person. It actually ended up being a 4 way all-in! Everybody else's hands were junk but i got lucky and hit 2 pair to get back to a decent size stack. Early in these tournaments everybody calls preflop and you have no fold equity post flop, so you need to hit a strong hand. Once you get a decent stack, its relatively easy to make it to the cash. 3 handed on the final table, it also helps if you hit 2 pair every flop, like i did! As the blinds go up, there's less people in each hand, sometimes only 2 or 3. If you identify the reasonably good tight players, take flops in position against them. If they check to you on the flop, a 1/2 pot bet normally wins it. I also bet out on a bluff from the blinds if theres only 2 other people in the hand and the board is very uncoordinated (i.e 2s7hQd). Picking up small pots this way keeps your head above the blinds and certainly helps make it to the cash. Its important to identify the half decent players who wont call pot sized bets with top pair or a weak flush draw. Making notes of the minimum you can bet into them and make them fold is very useful as well. I saw one guy who would fold to a minimum sized c-bet! Some players only ever raise AAxx, its also useful to work out who these players are, because calling preflop can win you a big pot post flop.
