PS
Tommy told me to say that :-)
Be interested to hear the thoughts of Tikay or TommyD as to whether you're happy to (and which situations) you would open limp in PLO/PLO8, choosing to play more poker postflop. Is it something that comes into play more when stacks are shallower?
There are now £1.10 High-Low MTTs at 7:15, 8:15 and 9:15 in the lobby
Sigh so ive missed most of the fun having to work today
Hopefully a good few of those who are interested in some "cheap" PLO8 fun will join in.
There are some bigger buy-in ones tonight, too, £3.30, £5.50 & £11. I'm not sure if I'll play those, as I'm playing the £1.10 ones and £2.35 PLO8 DYM's at the same time, but TommyD, CoxyLBoro & others have promised to help, & I expect they will play those bigger ones.
We had a really fun afternoon today.
Three PLO8 Tourneys ran....
2.55pm, £1.10 - 25 runners
4.25pm - £3.30, 11 runners. (Shows how price sensitive they are).
4.55pm, £1.10, 24 runners.
Me? Not very good, I finished, resprctively, 8th, 7th & 6th. If only I could maintain that momemtum for 5 more of them.......in the last one I was in great shape on the Final Table, but completely missed seeing the rivered flush, & got the lot in & ran into nut-nut. Whoops.
I played 4 x £2.25 PLO8 DYM's, too, won 2, lost 2.
So I've played for 4 hours or more, had a bunch of fun, & lost about £8. Not too bad then.
Onwards & downwards, see you at 7.15.
Please note that whilst multi-tabling, I'm not so good with the chat box, so cannot reply to comments or questions, but if you have any questions, please put them on this thread & we can reply to them all later tonight, or tomorrow.
I'm Offline from 6am until mid-afternoon tomorrow, but will be back on here around mid afternoon, & will be doing the PTP Omaha (High) cash session on Wednesday evening.
Hope you enjoy the games.
Huge thanks to TommyD for his invaluable help this afternoon, ditto to Talon.
It's an interesting game and I think I got the hang of one or two little things towards the end. Might get into it one day but I'd prefer to get myself on the hold 'em tables a little more before getting stuck into other variants.
Good luck with the PTP this week Tikay. Good luck to everyone else, too.
Fun night though and I hope any PLO8 newbies enjoyed the game.
Of couse, it's made better when you manage to make a profit on the evening.
Well played to all and thanks to Sky & Tikay for setting this up.
Well, I think we had a pretty good day!
Everyone I spoke to seemed to be enjoying themselves, though I guess it helped that I seemed to be donating left right & centre...........
We'll deffo repeat this, probably next Tuesday.
Remind me to write to Head Office next Monday or Tuesday to ask them to schedule the £1.10 Tourneys again for Tuesday please, otherwise I'll forget.
I don't know exactly how many played this afternoon & this evening, but these were the runners for the Tourneys I played. There were plenty of other Tourneys (PLO8) all Evening too. I quit at 11pm, as I'd been playing non-stop since 2.55pm.
2.55pm, £1.10, 25 runners
4.25pm, £3.30, 11 runners
4.55pm, 24 runners
7.15pm, £1.10, 32 runners
7.25pm, £5.50, 8 runners
20.15, £1.10, 26 runners
21.15, £1.10, 27 runners.
Alongside these, there were PLO8 DYM's running all afternoon & Evening, I don't know how many, but I played 7 of them.
I'll send all these numbers up to the Office, & maybe we can keep the momentum going by doing this regularly.
Just a quick "thank you" to everyone who played these PLO8 Tourneys & DYM's, the atmosphere & vibes were good throughout, & there was no bad blood or curly lips.
Special thanks to TommyD & CoxyLBoro for helping out, too.
Tomorrow, it is the "official" PTP Omaha Cash evening, & I'll be playing Omaha Cash @ 5p-10p, 10p-20p, & 25p-50p.
Hope to see a few of you then.
For those that prefer PLO8, & enjoyed it todasy, I hope you'll start a few Tables tomorrow & maybe others will join in.
Finally, if you have ANY PLO8 questions, please Post them on this thread, & I'm sure you'll get some decent replies.
Night all.
Brilliant!
Three-way action, guaranteed three way all in and we have the second nut High and the third nut low. I'm sure the players involved won't mind their names in there. Reads are Coxy will either be ahead or get there by the river, also very thinking player but claims he doesn't know much about PLO8. Geldy is aggressive solid player, I don't think he's played too much PLO8 and is enjoying the night.
So, what do you do? Remember, there are two pots in play here.
Best of luck tomorrow, I doubt I'll be there, plan to be screaming at the TV during the footy.
Sometimes underbetting is the best thing to do. Not to induce a raise but to keep people in the pot.
To give an example of this. You see a 4 handed flop with 9d Td Jx Qx.
The flop comes down 6d 7d 8d.
You have a total lockdown on the high but with no possibility of winning the Lo with a very obvious Lo already available. If you go at this pot hard the chances are you will get it heads up after this flop and end up splitting the pot. But if you underbet this hand then you increase the chances of getting multiple callers and it is the chopping of those callers that your chip profit is coming from.
Heads up with only half a hand is not where you want to be. Multiway with half hands and heads up with scoop possible hands.
I've had a £5 bet that Cenachav will be on to have a chirp shortly at a bit of a faux paus I made when I ran flopped queens full into flopped Aces full. Whoops.
