Shame an £11 PLO8 couldnt have sneaked its way in though to the UKOPS schedule.
Only negative from me and I must applaud the new mini series and leaderboard.
If the suits do not like mixing PLO(8) in with the UKOPS - how about a mini 2/3 day omaha festival one time - might bring in outside players to the site with a bit of social media and word of mouth build up?
edit:We have had a few circular debates in the past about regular larger BI PLO(8) tourneys. The suggestion is to have a one-off festival of OH events to see if it will get some people to try the format and hopefully attract people from other sites to a growing OH community here.
Ideas for the festival welcome, but also particularly interested in people who would want to play some smaller events, or try the main events if there was a one off festival with a range of larger and smaller Omaha and Omaha Hi-Lo events (hopefully it will be repeated if successful).
Comments
Quite possible, yes, & it's a shame nothing could be squeezed into UKOPS, but there is now additional O8 Tourneys, so we are getting there slowly.
Think they need to get through October & November first though, the new MTT Schedule, both UKOPS, with their Leaderboards, & maybe some other stuff is quite a handful & will need all hands on deck.
Been a lot of changes of late, most of them very good imo, so let's give them a bit of time.
The £55 PLO last time didn't.
FWIW I could be wrong, but that's what I remembered.
Quite how the mini UKOPS doesn't have SEVERAL (ie 1 a week) PL08 T's is bizarre-just lower the GTs.
Think that's a little unfair POTO.
I generally try to answer all reasonably phrased questions.*
I discussed this matter with James & Sam a month or two ago when the Schedule was being constructed. It was not that a PLO8 would not make it's Guarantee, not at all. It was just that other, more popular events, would have to make way for it. I would (at a guess) think that 95% of the Site player base don't have any or much interest in the 4 card game.
Fingers crossed they may find room in the next UKOPS though.
Note there is already a £5,000 PLO event in UKOPS XVII.
Fact is, not all of us can have exactly what we want in these things. I'm as sad as anyone about it, but it is what it is.
*Unless they have multiple question marks &/or exclamation marks appended. I generally avoid replying to them, as I don't like the notion that people think I'm dumb & can't read properly, or have eyes that miss the first one but might see the second one. Even thinking about it irritates me. AND DON'T UPSET ME ON A FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
I do enjoy the game, I play it less than I should mainly because I multi-table quite a few games a night when I play, and most are NLHE. Then I get mixed up between games. If there was a festival where I could play maybe 4 games, I would be able to drop the NLHE and play the other for a while.
I guess this is what the suits want to avoid though
I'll certainly suggest, to happen between now & Xmas.
I'll let everyone know what they say. Pretty sure they will do it.
Yeah but that's a weekly thing that I cant commit to as weekdays are bad, (I'm a teacher).
A one-off I would. And weekends I would
I am of course, only thinking of me
