Guys, If any of you want to play some low-staked PLO, or PLO8, be it cash, Tourneys or DYM's, I'm happy to devote an evening or two every week to it, & then, the next day, we can do a follow-up thread based on how it went, & exchange views, answer questions etc. Beginners (Low Stakes) ONLY for now. I can only help with fundamentals & basics, nothing high-level, but, in truth, these basics are VERY IMPORTANT in Omaha - it is NOT Texas Hold Em, nor is it anything like it. I can probably do Tuesday or Wednesday most weeks if anyone is interested. Posted by Tikay10
Hi TK, excellent idea. I remember you saying on a recent show that a league of some description was being discussed. I am sure that a PLO and PLo8 league, similar to the one that JH ran a while ago would be very well received.
Of the 2 nights you suggested i think Tuesday would get more support due to the Community comp. on Wednesdays and as previously suggested perhaps 2 low buy in MTTs, 1 of each run over a 4/6 week period with the usual prizes as a n incentive.
Obviously you would need some help with the league tables(tongue in cheek) but i am sure there would be plenty of volunteers to do this.
Coiuld i also suggest that consideration be given to reinstating the 500gtd rebuy that used to run on Fridays at about 10pm. This didnt quite hit its guarantee most weeks but did come very close and if it was brought back at say 400 gtd for a trial perhaps it would work, especially as there seems to be a lot more interest in Omaha than there used to be.
Id love to get into Omaha ive only played the odd dym here and there but if we could get a night a week semi devoted to it that wud be great, since tuesdays are already turbo tuesday themed would wednesdays be better? then maybe time taken to get the best hands from it shown on thursdays show? id prefer tourneys/dyms over cash but will take part in whatever
This is Tikays time to shine I gather from him he is a million times better omaha player than hold em given his near FT last year WSOP, so we can all learn from the wise elder again yay, will bring me back to when i first started watching sky and learning holdem from him :P hope u play a few Omaha tourneys @ wsop this year teeks
I'd be interested in playing some omaha tikay, never played it for cash so would love to get stuck in at the lower stakes and find out what im doing right/wrong etc

Thought this needed bumping, any developments TK???? Posted by pomfrittes
Very happy to play a night or two each week, starting next week, if you guys are up for it.
It will be primarily micro-limit games, as the idea is for people to learn the game at minimum cost. Please remember that Omaha is a brutal game, & anyone who complains at bad beats in Hold Em should not even contemplate playing Omaha.
Happy to play the Site minimum stakes which are....
Cash Omaha (2p-4p) & PLO8 (smallest stake is 5p-10p).

Cash Omaha (2p-4p) & PLO8 (smallest stake is 5p-10p). DYM (minumum stake Omaha = £0.60) & PLO8 (minimum stake £2.10). Tournaments in either format, min stakes are, I think, £1.10 & £3.30. It is NOT ideal to play Omaha & PLO8 at the same time, so we should have seperate nights or weeks for each. Maybe.... Week 1 - PLO Tourneys Week 2 - PLO8 Tourneys Week 3 - PLO DYM Week 4 - PLO8 DYM Week 5 - PLO Cash Week 6 - PLO8 Cash. If some warmth is shown for the idea, or a different mix or suggestion is made, fine by me. Let me know, & we'll get it started. Posted by Tikay10
Think it's a great idea Tikay . . count me in . . .only started playing Omaha about 10 days ago and love the game, even with its cruelty and variance :-) . .and I speak as a person who went out of 4 NLH tourneys last night getting my stack in with the best hand and getting rivered everytime . . . must be a masochist to also want to embrace Omaha! . . .beautiful game I think

If this runs we may have an update or 2.
I think if it does gain interest perhaps have the tourney schedule changed a tad on the night it runs ie scrap the £11 buy in and may be have £1.10, £3.30 £5.50 levels or if not the £5.50 level then another £3.30 or £1.10.
Would be nice to see Omaha get more love and maybe we could get a Main Omaha tourney back on the list like the 1K guarantee we use to have.
I might be biased because i won it. But then so did Dylan.
Definitely interested, more a tourney player than cash ( i get a bit over carried away on cash ). Hope to join in once my connection is stable enough (currently switching broadband and now in the dreaded "stabilization" period with speed changes and dropouts)
played last week love the game wish there was more tournments of omaha : even small stakes used to have 2.20 buy in ones in the afternnon this are not on no more please can with have sum more also seven card stud for small stakes tourments as these are good to get your brain working play hold em but also like to play other tourments
