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

Tikay10

Guys,

Sky James wrote "I think the bounty goes to (etc)...." which kinda suggests he does not really know for sure.

My suggestion if this might cause some to be exercised - & I can understand why that may be the case - would be to give it a miss tonight, sit it out & watch, or wait & see what others say.
 
Then, if you are OK with it, play it on future nights.
 
It's been put on at short notice, so let's see how it goes.

If you play it, gl & enjoy.

(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 lolled a lot at this

Regarding any uncertainty about bounties... It won't take many pots to figure who gets it and what decides it. It will be the same playing field for all so whatever it turns out to be is fine by me. Just happy to see the extra MTT added

^^^^

Yes, that echoes my thoughts.

But if anyone is worried about it, please give tonight a miss until you can better see the lie of the land.

Not tonight Mark, I have company for the weekend, arriving in an hour or two, so not much poker for me until Sunday evening. 
 
Personally - & I know I'm an oddbod - a PLO8 BH makes no sense to me, PLO8 does not need "revving up" imo, but folks love BH's, so it may well attract many NLH BH players, which can't be a bad thing.
 
I may give it a go a few nights just to get a feel of it though.

your so right, NL08 makes some sense. PL08 already has players calling all over the place chasing, add Bounties and every pot will be like 5 way!-the splits dont really make any sense either!

No worries, hopefully the game gets a few runners and you can join next week

Not sure it will suit my passive style but I'll give it a try.

plo bounty hunters u would get alot more players and i be up for that alot more people play plo then plo8

sniper13

i was gonna say the opposite i thought it seemed on this site that a lot of people seem to prefer PLO8 than PLO. Personally id rather play PLO

Not true for MTT's as far as I know. Pretty sure the PLO8 MTT's get more runners than PLO. It 'might' be true for cash games.

You have it back to front, far more runners in OH8 MTTs and Omaha DYMs are like hens teeth

Makes no sense or logic to me, but each to their own, & if they enjoy it, & it brings across NLH players, that's great.

I think it will do well actually, folks can't get enough BH's here.
 
It's not my idea of poker Heaven, but we are all different.

Thanxs for the vote of confidence Markycash but I will take Mr T's advice and try watching as I have no idea of playing BH's anyway plus it will be interesting to see if suzy666 is right and it becomes a free for all just for someones head. 

churchy18

gutted i missed this 38 runners wow but not sure that would happen everynight would be nice to maybe have a £11 pl08 mtt once a week also.

It's Pot Limit Koko, so unlike No Limit, you can't just shove all-in.

I'm not convinced that Pot Limit and Bounty Hunters are a good blend though.

The NLO8 ones actually play the way Suzy suggested. PL keeps a lot more control and less bingo.

HENDRIK62

Had my doubts, but I think this was a great success, pulled in some NL guys. The bouties added a really interesting dimension.

Bust its guarantee, all in all pretty good start I think.

Well played Dave :-)

Thanks Paul ;-)

Nearly sneaked the £5.50 and £11er double but fell at the last hurdle. Tips hat to Syd, WP sir! 

Really enjoyed the game and it seemed to have a nice feel about it, cracking mix of players on the table and rail and with a few of the NLHE crew joining in it resulted in the tourney almost quadrupling its guarantee.

Is there room to ask for a £5.50er to be added too?

Cracking turnout, hopefully more of the same tomorrow! GG everyone.

Really glad it went well.

I'll ask James to see what he thinks on Monday, but it would do the case no harm at all if it got the same or better numbers tonight & tomorrow (Saturday & Sunday).
 
You can enter tonight's renewal HERE

Anything which brings players to the 4 card game is good by me, so I hope the numbers are similar or better over the weekend. 

Repeat last night's numbers for 2 more nights, & I'm sure James will up the Guarantee & maybe add a £5 version - or a £20 version - too.

Wow you have one day off and you miss the next poker revolution wp all

ps I don't feel well

Poker_Wolf

Glad this was a great success. I look forward to playing future ones.

Nice one Tikay!

I have sent a little message out to a few UK players on Facebook who may be interested in playing. Not sure if it will have any immediate impact but hopefully a slow burner that will result in a few players trickling over and giving things a try.

Good turnout again tonight with 41 runners.

Early exit for me and bubbled the 5.50 FT but nice to see the numbers keeping up

chilling

According to my lobby?

1st off tomgoodun

2nd off Markycash

3rd off weecheez1

4th off eon61

Is this what is called an anomaly?

Think there were a few more out before me but I think the late reg thing might skew it, not sure. I wasn't far behind though...

There is always tomorrow

I see you are still in fighting, gl
