    As mentioned above I have let a bunch of UK Omaha 8 players know about the new tourney and also the DYM's etc. Several have indicated they will be dropping by and joining in the games at some point so hopefully we can get some extra players to the OH8 community on Sky.

    Hendrik wins again on night 3!

    WP Paul :)

    Unlucky safc in 2nd. Tried my best to join you on the FT but that AJ chap pinched my little pile of chips...

    The numbers appear to be pretty good for this. Night 1 = 38 entrants; night 2 = 41 entrants and night 3 = 40 entrants. Would be nice if the guarantee could be reconsidered and a $5.50 BH a bit earlier around 7ish might attract a few different people who don't want to be just us as late.

    Nice to see a couple of old faces from the past turn up tonight too :)

    Cya all tomorrow night! Surely Hendrik can't do the treble?

    I got very lucky to win it last night, so odds on a treble are very, very long :-)

    Update:
    Increased guarantee to £300
    Now awarding 10 pts instead of 5
    As suggested I've added a £5.50 £200 game at 7.15pm

    Enjoy

    Fantastic news!

    I wanted to also say the structure is fantastic 3k start stack and 10 min blinds, loads of play. Great stuff Sky and well done Marky for suggesting it.  Alright Dave.

    Hey scouse, sounds good to me if it isn't too much trouble. It might add a little fun element. Maybe Sky can throw in a lifetime supply of £110 tickets for the winner each week and take it out of TK's Christmas bonus ;-).

    Cheers for that Scouse, appreciated mate!

    YBA.

    If you guys want to organise some sort of Monthly League for those 2 new PLO8 BH things, I'm sure I can hustle Plimsoll Sam into giving away some little prizes.

    Make some proposals between yourselves, & get back to me.
     
    Ideally, you'd want to start it tomorrow (1st of the month), failing that, next Monday for, say, 4 weeks.

    That is a very genereous Tikay, appreciated Sir!

    I will ponder it over for a few hours and see if anything specific comes to mind then post any ideas here and see what Scouse, others and yourself think :) 

    It would be excellent if it could be done as you say to start tomorrow and coincide with the start of the new month. Obviously next month would be fine too but if it is done early it might help the new games become more established.

    Initial thoughts are 2 mini leagues, 1 for the number of bounties taken each month and one based upon finishing positions over each month. Possibly something akin to the league Scouse has created this week to record performance in the FOSP games could be used to track monthly performance? Maybe awarding 10pts for a win in either of the nightly BH's, 7pts for 2nd, 5 points for 3rd, 2 points for 4-6.

    Will post later and see what others think, thanks TK, scouse & Sky!
