Omaha Hi-Lo - better to try, & fail, than not try........

Tikay10Tikay10
edited March 2011 in Poker Chat

I get a whole lot of players bemoaning the fact that there is not much Omaha Hi-Lo Tourney action on Sky Poker. Which is fair enough, really.....

So I thought we'd try & have some Hi-Lo fun tonight.

It might be an epic fail, this, as it is 4pm, & Arsenal are on the Telly tonight in the Champions League Biggie. Hey-ho, what will be will be.

Anyway, a couple of players have already agreed to try & bring some value to onight's Tourneys - Penguin7, & MereNovice, plus me, so we are almost Heads-Up already.

The Tourneys are....

7.25pm – Omaha Hi-Lo, £5.50 

7.55pm – Omaha Hi-Lo, £11 

8.25pm – Omaha Hi-Lo, £3.30 

9.25pm – Omaha Hi-Lo, £5.50

MereSpeadsheet is prepared to do a Spreadsheet to see who does best on Average, & I think you'd have to play at LEAST two of the 4 Tourneys to qualify.

If you fancy some cheap Hi-Lo fun, come & join us.

It's a bit late to promote this, & football is on, so if it falls flat on it's face, blame me.

Hope to see at least a few of you later. Surely we can muster a full Table? 5/6th of a Table......half a Table?........

    add the £3 standard PLO one at 7-10 & I'll defend my title ;)

    Got 35+ last time a presenter played it.

    Spewy donks can win at PLO, not sure if that's the case at PLO8.

    Either way have a gud en'

       Not rolled for this but might just come along and rail. Hopefully you will get decent numbers for these fine tournies.

    This is true imo:)
     
    You may not know this but Dohhhhhhh and I played a series of HU games for charity not so long ago. The loser donated £50 to charity and Dohhhhhh did this gracefully and fairly after i thrashed him 16-7 in a best of 30 encounter. He even e-mailed me proof of the donation. So Dohhhhhhh has my respect for that, but i think he is still just a little bit scared of me innit:)

    Get in the hilo JJ, and as your playing dyms now, you are now a fully qualified nit too!

    Just for fun, I'll post a table to keep people updated on their progress tonight.
    Best two results count. Your positions from your best two events will be added and the lowest score wins.
    The prize? Kudos for beating Tikay soundly.

    It's not my fault that the other guy had a better hand and couldn't find the fold button.

    After that, Dylan got exceedingly lucky.

    Has anybody ever wondered if this site is rigged?
