(Added to schedule for 9:15pm tonight £100 GTD) : 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 :D I see you are still in fighting, gl :)

    As mentioned above I have let a bunch of UK Omaha 8 players know about the new tourney and also the DYM's etc. Several have indicated they will be dropping by and joining in the games at some point so hopefully we can get some extra players to the OH8 community on Sky.

    Hendrik wins again on night 3!

    WP Paul :)

    Unlucky safc in 2nd. Tried my best to join you on the FT but that AJ chap pinched my little pile of chips...

    The numbers appear to be pretty good for this. Night 1 = 38 entrants; night 2 = 41 entrants and night 3 = 40 entrants. Would be nice if the guarantee could be reconsidered and a $5.50 BH a bit earlier around 7ish might attract a few different people who don't want to be just us as late.

    Nice to see a couple of old faces from the past turn up tonight too :)

    Cya all tomorrow night! Surely Hendrik can't do the treble?

    I got very lucky to win it last night, so odds on a treble are very, very long :-)

    Hey scouse, sounds good to me if it isn't too much trouble. It might add a little fun element. Maybe Sky can throw in a lifetime supply of £110 tickets for the winner each week and take it out of TK's Christmas bonus ;-).

    Cheers for that Scouse, appreciated mate!

    YBA.

    If you guys want to organise some sort of Monthly League for those 2 new PLO8 BH things, I'm sure I can hustle Plimsoll Sam into giving away some little prizes.

    Make some proposals between yourselves, & get back to me.
     
    Ideally, you'd want to start it tomorrow (1st of the month), failing that, next Monday for, say, 4 weeks.

    That is a very genereous Tikay, appreciated Sir!

    I will ponder it over for a few hours and see if anything specific comes to mind then post any ideas here and see what Scouse, others and yourself think :) 

    It would be excellent if it could be done as you say to start tomorrow and coincide with the start of the new month. Obviously next month would be fine too but if it is done early it might help the new games become more established.

    Initial thoughts are 2 mini leagues, 1 for the number of bounties taken each month and one based upon finishing positions over each month. Possibly something akin to the league Scouse has created this week to record performance in the FOSP games could be used to track monthly performance? Maybe awarding 10pts for a win in either of the nightly BH's, 7pts for 2nd, 5 points for 3rd, 2 points for 4-6.

    Will post later and see what others think, thanks TK, scouse & Sky!

    i think your going to have some qualifing criteria, most of the PL08 crew are not 7 days a week and have bankroll considerations. 7x 11 and 7 x 5.5 is fine for some but not all, i presume the league is to entice more.

    maybe best 3 Ts from each week to count to the league, maybe 4.

    Points and heads sounds fine. maybe 1 league simplifies things? with prizes for 1st/2nd-or more? dont know how you score a head- 1point? some are worth more than others but i guess its the same for everyone

    Don't get TOO excited, the prizes wont be much, it's more about bragging rights really.

    It kinda makes sense to try to help make Sky Poker a niche site for PLO8 though, as very few sites have any liquidity. (That's me justifying burning Sky Poker's money).

    Any way you want to work it is fine by me Marky, if you let me know the exact points structure you want and we'll get it sorted in time to start tmoro ...... it will also give me time to do a dummy run using last nights and tonights tourneys.

    Obv not everyone will be around every night, so can you suggest how many games must be played in a month to count. 

    I mean personally if a format is agreed for the first month and it doesn't quite work it can always be tweeked a little bit along the way

    sorry mr rik if that offended you. i was merely trying to point out that your odds were not as long as you suggested.
    After all, if we win with AA 4 times, we dont fold the 5th out of fear-your previous wins dont affect your next game.

    Assuming ROI of 50% and a field of 50, doesn anyone have any idea what the odds of winning are?

    I think one point per head is the way to go here as  there's no way of knowing once the tourney has finished what individual head prizes were, (only the overall total)

    It is generally great to see all the extra noise made on here for everything PLO8. Even I played one of these BH's. I hope your new League is a success too.

    HOWEVER....it would, IMHO. been advantageous for the game of PLO to been given a bit of a push here too. This format only gets small numbers on this site ATM (apart from cash tables). If you are looking for PLO action in MTT or DYM format, you generally have to look at other sites for it.

    Don't shoot me down though guys, just making an observation. Perhaps, depending how this League goes, PLO could maybe considered in the future and combine both formats into a League/Comp?

    I agree with the point Suzy makes about 1 leaderboard to keep things simple. I also completely agree with 1 head = 1 point. Maybe scouse's original idea of recording the bounties taken over the month is the way to go? Would keep it nice and simple for anyone to casually follow along regarding their progress.

    This would also give those who don't play them all a chance of doing well if they take a lot of scalps in the ones they do play. It may also encourage those who get off to a good start each month to play a few more games than usual.

    Still wakening up. Had my Weetabix, got my caffeine levels up to a suitable amount and am just visiting uni just now to maintain the charade I am studying psychology but will post when I get back home in a few hours.

    Would be great to hear everyones feedback and thoughts.
