    Not everyone will approve of the format of this new Tourney - that's inevitable - but we are looking for feedback as to alternative Omaha formats, as to freezeouts, single rebuys, "limited rebuys", different clocks or starting stacks, everything is up to what the players want.

    The stated aim is to have Omaha Tourneys in this, or alternative, formats, with Guarantees of, for now, either £500 or £1,000, SEVEN NIGHTS PER WEEK by November. But it just depends upon demand. If the demand is there, it will happen, it not, it won't, but at least we will have given it a shot.

    So it's up to the players, really.

    I would prefer a standard F/O fwiw a nightly one for £5.50 with £100gtd should get numbers

    I have registered and will be playing but just wanted to put my 2p worth on what i think would be good

    For those unfamiliar with the basics of Omaha, &, in truth, aimed at ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS to Omaha only, I am going to start a "Daily Omaha Tip", well every day I am in the office, anyway.

    It will ONLY be suitable for absolute beginners, there will be no "Level 4", or advanced stuff, but very few players understand the essential basics of what is THE most beautiful format of poker ever devised, in my personal opinion.

    Just one more thing for now......

    Omaha is HIGH VARIANCE, very "swingy". If you struggle to handle beats in Hold Em, & get upset every time you are rivered, I strongly recommend you do NOT play Omaha, because by it's very nature, Omaha is a DRAWING GAME, & players will get there on the River frequently. 

    Good luck, any questions, fire away, & enjoy it, it's the shizzle.

    Make it NLO for the first level, with no rake on rebuys.

    Then rake rebuys when it goes to PLO after lvl 1 ;)

     Don't like rebuys but would be interested in freezers esp. if it was at the mini level of £3.30.

    Great news, the 4 card revolution is can't be stopped.

    I think 5.50 with rebuys and addons might still preclude beginners and players with small-ish bankrolls from playing, but it's a great start and a million times better than the £20 gtd tourneys.
