I play both live poker in casinos as well as video poker. And I've come to realize that the controversial Rob Singer system for video poker has an application for "live poker" such as No Limit Hold 'Em or Hold 'Em.

The application is this: Singer's video poker strategy is all based on "draws." And that is one of the important elements in live hold 'em games as well -- the odds of draws.

In fact, in games such as Omaha, including high-low and 8 or better, draws are crucial and figuring your chance of draws is vital.

Since Rob is usually drawing for big hands in video poker, it is much like the draws players make in hold 'em except that in the live card games such as hold 'em and Omaha you are building on the base cards in your hand instead of discarding them as you do in video poker.
