5 mins to go, & 21 in already. Excellent, these Tournies are really taking off now. Even Marshall Mathers is in, but he's not been asked to please stand up, please stand up.
In Response to Re: Right! Let's do that Omaha thing again. : Unlucky Dave. 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. Posted by Tikay10
Quick question before the carnage starts Tikay. When I first made the transition to PLO from NLHE (t'was a while back) I was stuck in one nasty spot and I still don't know if I made the correct move. It was a $1 $2 cash game on another UK based site. I had awful aces (something like AA93 rainbow). I was in late position on a moderately laggy table. UTG had opened for a pot and got his customary three or four flat calls. I repotted up to $45. UTG re-repotted to commit himself to the pot and one of the original flatters re-re-repotted all in. My remaining $160 was what was required to remain in the pot. As I thought UTG had the other two aces and the other shover must have a D/S rundown I folded my awful aces. I posted that hand and got rounded booed for my fold. What would you do? Looking back I should of probably flatted the UTG preflop back hey
I played like a complete Dylan to donk off early - twice - then worked back, with solid stuff, though Quad Aces against what was effectively the nut house helped.
I passed 2nd nuts twice, too, to players who thought 2 pair was the nutz, groan.
OK Mr Old Bloke, I'm gonna have a go at the 8.15 and see how it goes! How hard can these donk-fest omaha thingys be? See you on the tables.....well, hopefully, anyway....at least one or two hands!
Sorry I have just logged in and missed the first two but in the last xx Posted by SUPERNOVA
No worries Sharon, see you later.
Meanwhile, the 8.15 got a cracking field - 37. Sadly, now minus me, after I stupidly got busy with the flopped & turned nuts against "same hand with extensions" that got there. My bad, daft play that.

15 minutes to go, & 15 reg'd. The field looks tougher tonight, though there's always Dylan.
Nice one Scotty.
