PLO / PLO8 rebuy MTTs
I just wondered if these may sneak on to the schedule at some point?
Maybe it's just me, but having a couple of rebuys as an option in the steadily growing omaha games in the lobby may help to grow the game more... particularly as any guarantees seem to be challenging to meet at the moment.
Would arguably help add a bit more action to proceedings and as most of the games are only a couple of quid, its unlikely to break too many banks. Especially if we'll all have lots of £2.20 tournament tokens to use from next month!

There were also "Pink" Stamps.
Soon, a "price war" broke out, & garages or supermarkets advertised double, treble & then quadruple Green Shield Stamps.
Before long, they were offering 32 fold, 64 fold, & 128 fold Green Shield Stamps.
We had to stick them in little books. 3 gallons of petrol, which cost 15/- (fifteen shillings = 75p), would yield a huge roll of stamps, all of which needed licking & sticking.
Eventually, of course, the wheels came off, & they went out of fashion.
The system was operated by a company called Sperry & Hutchinson (S & H).
Unrelated to S & H, one of Warren Buffett's earliest ventures was in Trading Stamps, his brand was "Blue Chip Stamps" & they became part of Berkshire Hathaway. In 1970, Blue Chip Stamps had revenues of $126,000,00. By 2006, that figure had dropped to $25,000.
Oops, went a bit of topic there.
Rebuys in PLO & PLO8 - I like that idea, just so long as freezeouts are still available, for those who cannot afford rebuys.
Tikay, you would be a fine asset to any pub quiz team, Especially as you don't seem to play the pokers any more!
Not given up poker, am off to Vegas on Friday, & playing a bunch of stuff.
I'll probably resume playing Online when I get back home. Can't wait, to be honest, I've missed playing.
Thank you.
Yes, that's the plan, to send back plenty of blogs, & I write them, or try to, specifically aimed at those who cannot be in Vegas, for some vicarious Vegas fun. Not a lot of poker in them, it's more a sort of curve ball look at Vegas, there are more than enough Vegas poker blogs out there.
They will be in a different place this year, which means I can't upload them myself, so they may not be as up to date as we might like, but they are not really time-sensitive, so that won't matter too much. They will be uploaded to "LATEST NEWS" section, HERE
There are quite a few various pieces there already (see the Sidebar), including some great stuff by Neil Channing.
