In Response to Re: Omaha Tourney Frenzy this evening on PTP : Nice - & earlier, you was thinking of not playing it! Well done you. That's the icing on the cake of a great evening afaic. Posted by Tikay10
Thank you tikay, I was going to play 8.15 but something came up so had to de-register and decided to play 9.15 instead
Dohx7 & myself had a terrific tussle Heads-Up, but the cards were very kind to me. At Hold 'Em, he'd eat me Heads-Up, for sure, but I had a bit of an edge here as he rarely plays Omaha.
very uncomplimentary of alot of peoples play tonight.........
I dont understand omaha...
So maybe I can relate to NLHE beginners/low level players posting bad beats left right and centre, as they dont understand hold em either?
But I asked a question to Tommy, Tikay, and Merenovice, which splits the 2 apart, YOU DO NOT want the inferior hand to call in omaha.....whereas in HE ud take the call from a worse hand everytime...
Leads me onto....how do u avoid it? I guess I'll live and learn.
Will be playing more of these, im not as far behind the field as I thought I was
Wow, thanks Mere, you are a proper Gent, for playing in the right spirit, & doing that spreadsheet. You must have been watching the end, as it only finished minutes ago!
So an average of 24.5 per Tourney. These numbers are WAY above normal, as they were when did when we did the same thing last week.
I hope you guys want to do it again - I know I do.
Tomorrow might be "awkward" for me to do (wait & see.....), & on Wednesday I have/want/need to play two Hold Em Tourneys, (the 7pm 10 Seater £11 tikayer, & the 8pm Main Doublestack), but there's no reason why other guys cannot set up the Thread & run them.
And well done to Bazza tonight, too.
What a great night, you don't have to pay a lot of money to have fun at the poker table.
Right, that's my PTP night, I'm off now, I'm wrecked. I'll be doing PTP again on Wednesday, see you then I hope
Just for the craic, we'll have a Fun Comp, too. The Prize? I'll abuse the Winner on my next TV Show on Channel 865. You can be abused as much as Dylan! To be eligible, you must play TWO OR MORE of the 4 Tourneys I nominated above. From those, work out your AVERAGE finishing position, & bob's yer uncle. So, if I finish 5th, 10th, 15th & 20th, my average finishing position will be 12.5. Simples. Posted by Tikay10
Since you won, I guess that it will be a case of "self abuse"? :-)))
The field sizes tonight were..... 20 27 34 17 So an average of 24.5 per Tourney. These numbers are WAY above normal, as they were when did when we did the same thing last week.

Really enjoyed it and as usual there was great chat and banter which makes it more fun for me! All I need to do now is get more practice in pelting Mere and Dylan with my super duper king size tortilla wraps and I've cracked it.....ahem...:-)
And well done to Bazza tonight, too, thanks again tikay, and thank you to all who railed me tonight as well, great nights poker, just scared Ill wake up and find it was a dream.

Is there any other reason to share Tables with Mere & Dylan?
**** i missed out here looked good fun unfortunately had to go charlton so hope im around for next one
Tikay very impressive 2 3rds, 1st and 10th, im not playing you at omaha again! lol I still dont understand omaha tournement strategy but im sure if i play a few more may get better
Tell you what Mere, you were a NIGHTMARE when you were Billy Big Stack & we all had a bowl of rice between us. You play a big-stack well. But I rather enjoyed it when the boot was on the other foot!
I really enjoyed the evening immensely. As Dylan said, unusually wisely for him, it was great just to "have fun", & we sure did that.
I'm musing over whether to repeat the idea tonight, to be honest. It's not my PTP night, it's Rich Orford tonight, & I don't want to **** his pitch. I'm PTP again tomorrow, but I play the two Deepstack Hold Em's on Wednesday, without fail, so tomorrow may be awkward.
So maybe tonight, I'll chat with Rich & see if he minds. And if he does, I'll deffo do it.

Mere is OUT! Sadly, I mean.
And finally, the 10.15 result.

Great evening.

I like to liberally dispense chips to go with the tortilla wraps.
