Killme00

Is this going to be weekly going forward

I hope so

smurph

Im thinking of giving this a spin, a great way of playing omaha without losing a fortune........I am way tooo optimistic to play omaha cash games.

LuckyLloyd

Looks like a great structure. Looking forward to it.

Limp / call every hand pre - flop from every position (you have two extra cards!!); and then repeatadly say "pot" post flop when you make any pair or draw (you always have outs DUCY??).

Hope your added value is there Glyn.

5starpool

So this is a DC game? Is it 3500+3500 or what? I might go here and attempt to last longer than last time I played in the SE.

sounds EZ!

and four aces in your hand is gold, right?

Four deuces is the nuts preflop.

Yeh it looks like its 3.5k + 3.5k. What do people think is best....... Take the 7,000 at the start or when u bust the 1st 3.5k? Id say seeing as its Omaha and the variance is higher maybe the latter is the best strategy?

I'd imagine having a big stack in Omaha is more important so would recommend getting the DC in time for the first Omaha round.

LuckyLloyd

Your chips are more of a weapon at the 25 / 25 level than they are at 100 / 200. I will be calling for mine after the first hand - as I do in any DC tournament.

I simply cant go in there again tonight. It simply did nt happen last night in the cash game. Particularly with Premium hands. Please please no more AA,KK,AK in cash games.... 10 J suited anyday.. Thank you

Im playing like an idiot and not smelling the usual rats and snakes in grass that I usually pride myself on. Playing like a complete donk so I need at least a 4 day break..............

Great little tournie tonight. 25 runners, but definately enjoyed my first experience into holdem/omaha tournie style.

eoghan104

Yeh it was a good tournament just a pity about the lack of runners. I went out early but it didnt finish until 4am so plenty of play in it. Good Boards representation at the FT.

4th. 5Starpool
3rd. Imalegend
2nd. Lucky Llyod
1st. Kevin (possible poster definate lurker)

P.S. Props with El Stuntman was great craic! He sucks at it though!!!

5starpool

I think after about 3am people started to get tired and loads of chips went in at times with less than stellar holdings. Despite coming to the FT as a slight chiplead probably and then taking out the second in chips with an inspired (in my mind) call, I lost a few key big hands. I almost always enjoy round of each tournies anyways, and this was no exception, and there were tonnes of play. There were 175k chips in play, and the FT started at 200/400 , so average stack was around 40 BB's and kept that way for pretty much all of the FT.

Also, Kevin Maloney is a luckbox of the highest proportion.

smurph

Glad Lloyd used my money to good use.

Raise in Mp with 8d9d9s10s, to 900 3 callers,

Flop comes down 9h kd 2s, I bet 1.5K Lloyd calls,
Turn is 4h (I think), I go all in for 3.5K he calls like a hot snot and turns over......
wait for it....... Set of Kings ++++ the Nut flush draw, so
mmmm im drawing to 9c, river is a 4 to pair the board and bad beat joe points out that I lost with a House (great thanks for that Joe, it will make a much better bad beat story to tell people "I was beaten by a bigger house, meh what can you do", Rather than I put all my chips in the middle practically drawing dead:o

Didn't play the cash game, just headed home. Good tournament, great structure, although a bit scary that it didn't finish til 4 even with a small turnout.

I got him for you later Smurph, don't worry, accompanied by coat grab, upset walk and story of runner runner (which basically means he flopped a flush, I flopped a set, board paired).

Poor Joe.

FYP. Kev and I split it wiithout bothering to luckbox any further headsup for €500 each.

As Dom said, we got four handed and were still really deep. All of us knew what we were at and were exchanging small pots and making loads of sneaky checks and cunning folds. Then we got tired and decided to see which of us ran better AIPF in Omaha. Clear winners = Kev and I (I won a 100k pot AIPF with As5sKh8d vs Kev's AdAh8h5d despite the board bringing two hearts ).

Great structure. Loved the Omaha eventhough I haven't a clue what I'm at. This tourney deserves more runners. And I wouldn't be against that structure and pure Omaha only!!

Dom, Smurph - I'm sorry.

Don't be sorry, i'll get you back. Well done, although this "I haven't got a clue what im doing at omaha" line needs a bit of work..... you know exactly what you are doing at omaha sir, and WP at both.

DeadParrot

Is the round of each pot limit omaha or no limit (ie lazy)
I only ask cause this sounds like a good tourney.
I may look it up in the future

5starpool

Both normal Omaha and 2 card Omaha are Pot Limit.

harsh but fair...I discovered I am a far better roulette player on the way out though

(although being moved 2 hands before you would have flopped a straight flush and taken my entire stack was a bad beat of tremendous proprtions)

El stuntman, didn't realize that was you @ the table playing props, i seen that straight flush [eoghan was just after moving]

anayhow nice to meet ya..

Yeah this was a very enjoyable game and very good structure, some people even suggested that there was to much chips out there.
i think if they made this a FO with a 5k starting stack, instead of a DC would be ideal.

flop of 5 5 8

Me: Check
Dom: Bet pot (committed)
Me: Raise
Dom: So you have a 5 then Kev
Me: Yeh
Dom: I have an overpair (shows jacks)
Me: I got the blockers (shows other pair of jacks)

lol!!

Yeh I think that would make alot more sense. I also think that it being all Omaha would be a good move too. I just cant see them getting many runners no matter what they do!
