As many of you know, @NChanning recently started a thread to sound out opinions about a new PLO8 &/or PLO MTT.

Well it seems the Suits have ears, as two new MTT's have been added to the schedule by @Sky__James;

£10 + £1 entry £400 Guaranteed PLO8 Bounty Hunter, with the option of a single rebuy.

The PLO8 version will run once a week on Thursdays (starting tonight) at 20.18

The lobby states;


This is £400 Gtd PLO Hi-Lo tournament. Buy ins are split equally between the prize pool and player bounties. If you win a bounty you keep 75% with 25% added to your own head value. 1 Rebuy Available if you bust during the first 5 levels.


Here's a link to the lobby;

    A PLO (i.e., High Only) version will run on Saturdays at the same time, 20.18.

    This is an experiment, or trial.

    Nothing is cast in stone, the guarantee &/or buy-in could change, it could run more frequently, it could become PLO8 or PLO twice or more per week, or even nightly, it all depends how well it is received & how it performs.

    Over to you.

    I'll be there, looking forward to it. I wonder how many players it will get. I'm going to guess at 50. Is that a good guess?

    Just to clarify what's happening....


    The new PLO8 Bounty Hunter will run every Thursday @ 8.18pm until further notice.

    The new PLO Bounty Hunter will run every Saturday @ 8.18pm until further notice.


    Both of them are £11 entry with the option if a single rebuy if you bust in the first 5 levels.


    If they perform badly, they'll likely be binned.

    If they perform well they may run more often, or have an increased Guarantee, or even both.

    It's a slow burn, a massive 18 as i write. i think you'll get the numbers fine, whether you keep them over the weeks or the other games get cannibalised as a result are the dangers, but i'm sure you know that. I suspect there are some regs who don't know and the casuals almost certainly don't, it was word of mouth at lunchtime that i found out. Sadly this is the only day of the week that i have some semblance of a life. Firstly well done for getting this off the ground, finally a re-buy tourney, i think especially to start £11 rebuy maybe too high for some of the guys (unless Neil has a lot of PLO8 friends), so even if this doesn't work or you're looking to expand on different nights maybe try £5.50 at half the guarantee as this might still be popular. Good luck to everyone tonight i hope this is a big success.
