Don't worry about me, I possess a remarkable ability to self-destruct at any given time, especially playing that funny 4-card game.

Ye not too great at the auld Omaha myself, hopefully I can finish better than in Event #1 - first out :mad: :mad: :mad:

Lafortezza

Only 7 regged so far, maybe I might make a final table yet.

Marq

Despite my objection to this tournament's format not being limit, I have registered just so that Luke does not make the final table.

You're right - It's a rubbish hand with absolutely no low potential, which is what Omaha Hi/Lo is all about.
Having said that, despite my 87,000 outs, you were ahead when the money went in - I still wouldn't have reraised before the flop (because you practically commit yourself to a hand with very little going for it), and I would have folded on the flop - although the argument could be made that I am a total chancer and one pair might well be good here. In Omaha. Hi/Lo. on a straighting board. Maybe.

God I hate that game, making two terrible moves destroyed my 4000 odd chip lead and then knocked me out, when I ran into nickys quad 2's. Did I mention I hate that game?

TBH I had little idea what I was up to and my strategy for the game was to take as many pots pre-flop as possible.. I knew u'd outplay me if I called.. and I figured heads up AATT was not so bad to make a stand with.. off to the books with this game!

Also your immediate all in on the flop seemed a bit weak.. i knew the low was unlikely(impossible), so i made the call with AA and the gutshot.

It's a silly game and I think it should be taken off the list next year -

Damn Omaha .......... At least I outlasted HJ

I tihnk I have to get the donkey of the day away. Playing 2 NL tables on PS at 3 Limit tables on All-in Poker at the time I smooth call with AAXX. hit an ace on the flop and check to allow Mark catch a 4 outer for the nut straight. Then I start jamming and call his reraise when he's holding the blatantly transparent nuts. wp Nicky! Too much poker for me this weekend. Need a few days off. :rolleyes:

No pressure or anything Nicky, just wondering when you'll be updating the leaderboard?? Want to see what this terrible display did to my standing...

If I check, and you go all in, I am going to call your all-in bet. By putting you all in myself, I add folding equity to my chances of winning the hand.

Don't be too hard on yourself - I had nine outs, as I held KQJ and the flop was ATx. Had you bet the flop, there is no question that I would have called you, as all of my outs were to the nuts. It's Marq by the way.
