Right! Let's do that Omaha thing again.

Plans of mice & men, eh?
So, today went a bit skew-wiff, with the rebuy probs, so a change of plan for me.
I'm not "working" tonight, but I think I'll play the Omaha Tourneys again tonight, exactly as we did last night, with the same "Best Overall Performance" side challenge.
I'll be playing as "tikay1" tonight.
Let's do the same 4 Tourneys as last night - that's....
7.15
8.15
9.15
10.15.
And the "Best Overall performance", being the average finishing position (assuming you play TWO or more of the 4 Tourneys).
To see how it worked yesterday, go to page FOUR of THIS thread please.
And as we've had a bad day, I'll try & twist the Suits arm to donate FREE ENTRY nto tomorrow night's 7pm "tikay skleepstack", which is a well-structured, 10 seater Tourney. Because I know some folks like them.
Just one thing though. It's Rich Orford's PTP night this evening, & I really don't want to **** his pitch. So talk to him, & play with me. Fair enough?

Looks like I win the Free Entry. I am the ONLY entry in any of the 4 nominated Omaha Tourneys tonight!
Ship it.
I will try and play a few of these,
One thing i struggle with in omaha pl mtts is when you get low, im used to NLHE so i can just shove 10-15bb, but obvs you can't in pot limit.
So does anyone have any real tips with this or how they get around it...n dont say just run good
So far, we have 4 regulars entered for most of the 4 Tourneys.
I still don't get this Omaha malarky - I really found last night that most people call any raise pre flop so I dunno innit, will give it another crack tonight and see how it goes - got really lucky in the first tournament last night - sorry sharon - but I think I was pretty unlucky in the others.
Looking forward to this again and if, as likely, I will bust out early from these i will then search for ricorford to play some cash
Try doing it backwards. Limp in early position, & if nobody Raises, & you miss completely (1 pair is no good, obv), let go to any strength. But if someone in later position pops it up, now you can really get the leverage to get a proper Raise in, so re-pot it, & in most cases, you will either get it through, or get it Heads-Up. If it gets Heads-Up, well sometimes 1 pair is enough.
I pretty much sit out in these things, & let the early carnage take care of most of the field, there's no need to get busy until very late on, as they are quite well-structured, being PL.
Very very few players appreciate the massive difference between NL & PL: - they play out totally differently.
Im usless at holdem but even worse at omaha but I enjoy it so im in

I don't think pre-flop Raises "work" in Pot-Limit Omaha Tourneys until at least the 100-200, or 150-300 Level, so I never bother trying before then. Yes, that's correct - I almost never Raise PF in Omaha until later Levels. No point.
I was asked about No-Limit Omaha Tourneys last night, by the way. They don't work in Omaha, it's just a daft game imo, & removes every vestige of skill. Pot-limit is lovely. I could marry Pot-Limit, & have babies.
Thanks Tikay! I will take note and try later.
Hi Tony, i will have a wee shot at this tonite....i'm poor at holdem and on my last legs at Omaha...should be fun though.
olinC

lol
Will try and get in 2, if I manage to I will finish 10th and 15th so 25 total!

Something folks need to get their head round (not in this case) is passing the nuts in Omaha. I passed the stone-cold nuts on the flop twice last night.
Imagine you are in early position, in Levels 1 or 2, unraised pot, & the flop comes 6-7-9, (2 diamonds). You hold 8-10, with no diamonds, & no straight extensions. You bet out, it goes, behind you, Raise, Re-Raise, etc. We can imagine their holdings - someone with the Flush Draw, someone with all the straight extensions (8-10-J-Q), & someone with top set. How many bullets you gonna have to dodge - twice - there?
It's not something that comes easy, & I''m sure half the world - at last - will mock - but in Omaha, there are lots of situations where maybe, just maybe, passing the flopped nuts is optimal. I do NOT want or need to get the lot in 5 way in the early staghes to win, or even Cash. The real decisions come later, we have no need to put our life on the line in the pursuit of early chips. IMO, that is.
