February Omaha Challenge.... Post by midnight if you think you've made the leader board

JockBMW

Hi Jock
Great idea
Just for clarification , when u say "win" do you mean cash , as its a DYM?
Cheers
Mick

Hi Guys

I'm sure most of you had noticed that, every now and again, someone pops up on the forum singing the praises of this format of Poker.  I myself love the game.  Tikay is a great advocate of the game and managed a very deep run in a WSOP braclet event last year, making everyone at Sky Poker very proud.

Ive been thinking of ways that we can promote the game on here to get more players, so here we go.....

February Omaha Challenge 

First things first, it doesn't matter if you are a high, medium or low stakes player, you will have a chance of taking this down.  

So its an even playing field no matter what your bank roll is 

The format of the Challenge is this 

1.   It will run from now till the end of February.  All scores start from the time you post your entry on this thread 

2.   The objective is simple:  Cash in the most consecutive DYM Omaha games as possible at any buy in level

3.   Pot Limit Omaha, No Limit Omaha, Pot lImit Omaha hi/Lo  all count to the challenge

4.  All games you play count to the challenge ( you can't be doing the challenge of £5 level and then move to £11 level thinking that one doesn't count  It does )  You can play Hold'em DYMs in between without it effecting your run 

5.  If you bust after say 5 games,  you can go back and try again,  your highest score is the one that counts no matter how many goes at this you have

6.  You must post on this thread if you want to take part

7.  All runs have to be verified by sky

What happens at the end....   Exciting bit

The top 6 players with the highest consecutive wins will be entered into a PLO SNG Free roll with the following prizes

6th place £10
5th Place £10
4th Place £10
3rd place £20
2nd place £30 plus entry to £22 BH event
1st Pace £50 plus entry to Primo 

A big thank you to Sky Dave for giving the Prizes.  Cheers Dave 

Any ways I hope you like this idea.  For those of you who are not aware of it, the WORLD RECORD of consecutive DYM wins is, or was, held by a Sky Poker player.  He played low stakes Omaha DYMs and won over 50 games in a row.  His name escapes me at the moment but I'm sure the forum will come to my rescue with this information

Anyway I hope you will get behind this and we can get some support going for this truely great format of Poker.

Best Of Luck Guys and Girls 

Oh by the way for those of you totally new to the game I suggest you give this blog a read ,  penned by sky pokers regular GreekWay  gives you a great insight into the game

If anyone has any questions concerning the game, GreekWay is more that happy for you to send him a PM or post on the thread.  Many Thanks for the support George

Also I have started a seperate thread of Omaha tips.  SO if you have anything to helpnewbies please post there.  If you're looking for tips or have questions to ask, please post them on there as well

Welcome to the forum gwolf.  That's you in.....   Hey if I close this thread now we have our final table ;o)

shakinaces

I can't see me playing these until next Monday but count me in.

Have started playing a lot on the micro cash tables and get my head around those, albeit am still very limited in my play, but am completely clueless when it comes to tournament Omaha.

Was planning on giving the game more of a crack anyway after the Cash Champ thing has ended - are there any strategy articles or books that any posters can recommend for a novice?  I can't rely on waiting for AAKK double-suited and hope it flops the nuts in every hand, need to learn a few genuine moves

poshcole

Please put me in thxs gl everyone

GreekWay

Great idea Peter. I am now glad that you won the tournament the other day.

Of course I can't miss such a challenge. I am up for it. Stick me down.

Maybe that is the challenge/change I needed in my game.

Also should we post here our "record" or should everthing kept secret until the end of the challenge?

Thought I'd see your name in here George.  Hope you dont mind the links to your blogs.

I was thinking of keeping a league table so I suggest everyone post up how they are doing and we can keep a running total of the leaders

How am I supposed not to be here Peter? Omaha is my passion.

I am glad you linked the blogs also. I would tell you to if you didn't.

A league table is a good idea. I could help you with that. Will we have a deadline on submission entries?

Also please check your Twitter where I have send you another one idea that came to my mind.

Brrrrrrr

Hi,
Great idea, count me in please.

ckd

GreekWay

Posted by ckd

Hi ckd,

There is no need to go up the levels, but if you want to make if even harder you can try.

What we are interested in is consecutive cashes. 

Hope that helps.

Glenelg

Count me in.
