New PLO8 BH MTT's (Could the current set-up be built upon?)

I'd be up for this, imagine being able to brag that you have been able to take the bounty of some of the top PLO8 players in the land, or Tikay of course.

    I know BH's are popular here so wondered why there are no PLO8 BH's. Not sure if software issues are blocking this?

    Mentioned this last week to a couple of ploppers who said they would be more than willing to play a £11 nightly PLO8 BH or something similar.

    the 5.5 PL08 T only just gets its required entrants, who is going to play an £11?

    I would and think that on the busiest PL08 night (thurs) we should but not as part of the league-maybe with a £50 GT

    As for the BH-why? BH stimulate action, PL08 doesn't need it.

    I know Sky doesn't have the numbers of other sites but the BH or KO OH8 tourneys are massively popular on other sites. In fact I think they may even attract higher numbers than the regular format so there is undeniably an appetite for them. I would also have thought that PLO8 and PLO for that matter attract players who prefer a bit of action and a game they can play a few more pots in, I would imagine many in this demographic would therefore like an added 'action' element.

    Even if it only attracted a dozen players or so, it could be a nice starting point to attract a few more players to the game. I mean the £11 DYM SNG OH8 games fill up reasonably well, all things considered. Doesn't seem a big stretch to get a dozen or so in for a little BH game.

    James please post the details and will get it out on the other forums on facebook to see if can drag some new faces to Sky Poker. I know a lot of people like Omaha and PLO8 so this might be the fish to dangle to bring them in.

    ok, the world is indeed a strange place. we've asked for an £11 PL08 T for ages, even asked for them during UKOPS and then out of blue this, ok.

    Will bounties go to high hand winner, or be split among the pot winners at the appropriate split?

    Also, not trying to be funny, but will it work-the software that is?

    Ordinarily in these games if there is a knockout the bounty goes to the high hand winner. Not 100% if that will be the case here though.

    Extra oh8 tourneys added to the schedule, whether they work out or not, has to be a good thing for oh8 players surely. At least we have a chance of getting a few more MTT games in.

    Totally agree about the more OH8 MTT's there are, the better. This is a little over my usual buy in but as it's OH8 I may well have a dabble because if it does well, this will mean more OH8 MTT's which is good news all around, really.

    Could definitely do with this being clarified beforehand though as it will alter the dynamics of the game a lot imo.


    Also agree with Pom in that a £5.50 one would be good too. As far as I'm aware (which isn't that aware, tbh) the £5.50 nightly games are beating their guarantee constantly so I can't see that being any different for a £5.50 B/H.

    I'm a bit clueless at PLO8 but I'd defintitely try some PLO bounty hunters if they were introduced.

    I think you need to de-reg Marky.  You're alias is stopping players from regging. I thought you were studying psychology, you should know this.
    Maybe a late reg by you would be more apt.



    Hang on though, there's one lamb for the slaughter..

    HI

    I have never played a bounty hunter but know how it works love PL08 and this sounds interesting BUT can sky make it clear in the lobby how exactly it works. I see Markycash post saying if someone goes out the high winner gets the head bounty but talking to someone in chat about it they said the person with the highest stack would get the pot ok so here is the question. 


    I win the low hand and have a higher stack than the other player, the other player wins the high hand and we take a player out so who gets the bounty? both of us? the high hand player, me because I have the high stack or it is split between both of us?/???

    In NLHE it is definitely the Highest stack, so this is indeed a very pertinent question.

    Only if the shorter stack did not have the person who was all-in covered. Stacks sizes don't have anything to do with it (apart from obviously you need enough chips to have the person covered). If it is a split pot then obviously there is no bounty, someone would have to be covered by another players stack and lose the entire pot.

    The player who has the guy covered and wins the high side of the pot would get the bounty. The player winning the low pot (you in this instance) would get the low half of the pot but no bounty.

    That is how it has worked in every BH PLO8 I have ever played at any rate.

    Yes, worth clearing up. In every BH PLO8 I know of it doesn't matter who has x, y or z stack size, as long as you 1: have the all in guy covered. 2: He loses the entire pot & 3: you have the best 'high hand'.

    As the BH's have been for NLHE only until now it would be worthwhile if someone can clarify if this is the case on Sky.

    I wouldn't worry, I see Hendo is registered so that should draw the crowds in :D



    P.S...


    (Joking Hendo & pretty sure you will now procede to stack me for that joke!)


    Also @Koko... I wouldn't overly worry, just do what you done last night and I am sure a few scalps will come your way :)

    I think his point is... 

    Player A goes all in with 4000 chips and AK
    Player B goes all in with 3000 chips and AK
    Player C goes all in with 2000 chips and QJ

    The board runs out QJTxx and the AK guys both chop the chips up, but the bounty does go to the guy with the bigger stack (player A), that's always been the case on Sky afaik, but of couse that's for NLHE.

    I'd imagine IF it is set up so that the bounty is won based on the high hand then that'd be the case regardless of stack size, and stack sizes would only come in to if 2 players had the same high hand, but I dunno, Sky need to confirm really

    I took it he meant...

    Player A (2200 chips) Player B (2300 chips) & Player C (1000 chips). All players go all in... Player A wins the High pot, Player B wins the low pot, Player C is busto... Who gets the bounty. In this case Player A & B chop the pot but Player A gets the bounty for the high hand (even though player B had a bigger stack).

    If 3 players are all in and one busts his stack and the other 2 have the same high hand, normally I though the bounty would just be split.

    We think the bounty will go to the player with the biggest stack. You cannot split a bounty. Let us know how it plays out! Cheers

    Your average spend for a £5 rebuy is almost certainly at least the same if not more than an £11 bh
