I'm pretty sure Vince has the top average finish nailed now as well. I was running well for the average finish until the 10:15 ended rather abruptly! Posted by Machka
Oh, absolutely, & thoroughly deservedly, too. But pride means I have to do my best in the Finale, & I will.
Good luck to those in the final final and well played everyone.
I decided to try a little experiment tonight (and unlike Mr Hartigan I decided not to tell anyone about it). As I've been struggling in the MTT's this month I played more 'standard' and 'tight' Omaha rather than my variation along the theme which can tend to be somewhat looser and more aggresive. Therefore in the early going my preflop raising was well down (Vince, I know you don't believe me but it's true).
As a result I sank without a trace in three of these and came second in the other. Compare that to going much deeper in all the games yesterday yet not cashing in any. Conclusion? They jury is so far out the jury looks like Lego people to me. A little tweaking between the two themes I fancy.
Thank you Tikay for running this thread and well played again all.
Tonight's field sizes, in the 7.15, 8.15, 9.15 & 10.15, were, I think, 28, 36, 26 & 28, so that's 118 over the 4 Tourneys, an average of 29.5, & surely the busiest night of Omaha Tourneys so far?
I have loved tonight once again - great banter and some great playing as well!!
WD to vince for winning the 10.15pm mtt - always great watching a great player play and I must say I learned a lot by just watching - wp m8 WD to all other winners tonight, sigh yes that does include you Sir in the 7.15pm mtt!!
I wish I could grasp Omaha more and I do feel I have improved over the last two nights and I am keen to learn further and will play more of these Omaha tournaments. It's threads like these that make you realise what a great community we have here, the sportmanship that everyone displayed tonight was second to none and was a privilage to be a part of. Can't wait for the next one of these - I reckon if it happened at least once a week then this would grow - see some of you in the sleepstack tommorrow night where I hope further banter will be continued

Three left!
Thanks for the thread again, 2 nights 2 cashes seriously happy
Barry got 3rd for £26 - a splendid effort, especially added to last night's fine win.
Now it's between CHW & Tommy, & Tommy knows where he is in these things. Could be tight, this one.
And here's the full result of the 9.15. Well done guys.
Mere is going for the win in the 10.15 - he so wants to win one tonight!
But he's nailed on for Best Overall, methinks, & deservedly.
In tonight's finale, I've been hanging on all Tourney, but I ain't dead yet! Please let me outlast Mere & Dylan, that's all I ask......
Here's the latest in that....

FINAL in the finale.
Not lost anyone yet, but it's all turned round.
One gone now - ME!
And it was Mere that got me, when we both hit the Flush, my Q flush was a pip behind, so can't complain.
Thanks Tommy - it's been another great evening, & my thanks to all, especially for the chat-box banter. This is how poker is supposed to be - fun.
And Mere gets his deserved reward - he wins the Finale, & he so owned us all.
Well done Mere.
Looks to me like, pending Mr Vince's spreadsheet, we are 1-1, & will need to have a decider later in the week. Bring it on.

Good stuff.
Wow, very well done Digger, first the Primo, then this!
Pretty impressive scoring by Mere too, a 1st & a 2nd from 4 is pretty neat stuff, & he did similar yesterday.
I doff my metaphorical cap.
Good effort by Dylan, too, consistent high finishes, he's getting his Omaha game together a treat.
