Omaha-ha-ha with Orford- tonight from 7pm
Morning all,
Fresh from my astounding success on the tables last night (i.e. I posted a small profit) I'm ready to head into uncharted territory this evening.
Because, in a last minute change to the schedule, I'm doing the Omaha night for Play The Presenter!
Understandably, the suits at Sky Poker Towers have expressed some concern about what will happen to their money when I'm set loose on this format tonight, but I'm here to reassure them- I've got plenty of experience in this game.
I've, to date, played TWO Omaha sit and go Double Your Money games and cashed in both.
And, er, that's it.
Just remind me, you get dealt four cards at the start, right?
If you think this represents a good opportunity to boost your bankroll, or if you just fancy a bit of banter, come and find me tonight on the Omaha tables from 7pm.
I'll step away at 8 to play the big Double Stack main event and then get back to Omaha when I depart from that tourney. Around 11.55pm.
Well, it's nice to dream...
And since I'm playing Omaha, I expect at some stage I will cross swords with that young chap, Tony Kendall. Omaha is a bit of a speciality of his, so expect no mercy from me, if I happen to outperform him tonight...

I have no doubts that it will go swimmingly.
A question has been asked on this thread, could you give a reply please? thank you
Good luck tonight at the Omaha Rich!
I shall not trouble you, as I'm playing the 8.30 Tourney at Luton. So I'll not be availabloe until at least, ooh, 9pm.
See you tomorrow.
And there goes a man who's running scared. Lol!
Off you hide in Luton my friend, safe in the knowledge your Omaha has not met it's greatest challenge.
Oh, and good luck in your tourney
Done and dusted mate
I'm on table Purfleet 10p/20p and frantically reading the rules of Omaha!
Do come and join me!
Little secret Scotty- I taught Llamaman everything he knows about Omaha...
Pretty good, but I'm a little annoyed with myself because I was up to £42 at one point.
Ah well, a profit is a profit.
Meanwhile, Omaha titan Llamaman couldn't resist the thought of me sitting on his home ground with a fairly big stack and soon came knocking, as good news like that travels fast round these parts.
And in fairness to him, he indulged in some friendly banter with me while he waited patiently in the queue to rob me blind.
But then, as advertised, I had to get up to play the 8pm Main Event, just as he finally got to sit down!
So, Llama- just to say I wasn't running away and your date with destiny is coming.
Never again will you have such a fearsome reputation, once you've lost a few pots to me, sunshine.
Enjoy it, while it lasts!
Sigh. It's becoming a bit of a habit this for me (see last night's thread for more details).
Came 98th out of 427 in the end- 28 off the money. But for that 8 on the end, I'd have been one of the chip leaders. Funny old game.
Almost...
To take my mind off it, I'm now heading back on to the Omaha tables to see if I can continue my winning ways on there.
10p/20p Ickham if anyone fancies a game this fine Friday night...
As usual it was one hand that did all the damage- I flopped the wheel, Bowieboy had pocket Aces and had flopped the Top Set.
He bet out, I re-raised all in and he called. Obviously he then housed up on the turn and good luck to him.
It did provide a good debate though in the chatbox about whether Bowieboy should have called, with the general consensus leaning towards 'yes'.
See what you think. Personally, I can't think of too many people who would lay down that hand under the assumption their opponent had flopped the straight. And of course, he had outs too.
Great fun tonight- thanks to Darich, Mere, Tightus, Bowie and everyone else who made it such enjoyable poker.
Finished about twenty quid down on the night in the end. So pretty much spent my profit from last night.
Ten hours of poker- no profit, no loss. Steady as she goes...Tsk!
Unlucky on this hand but he was getting the odds to call even if you had the straight.
It's about 61/39 after the flop and once he's put his £5 bet in, he's getting the correct pot odds.
You're never getting worse than 2/1 HU in a PL game post-flop, so people don't tend to lay down top trips on the flop - certainly not if they get all their cash in on the flop like this.
