888PL Nightly PLO

Postby gmatical » Tue Jan 04, 2011 9:45 pm

I just blindly reg'ed this tourney and did not notice that it is now $2+$0.20 and no guarantee.

Is this an error or will it remain this way for the forseeable future?

I personally loved the fact that it used to be a decent buy in ($8.80) & the guarantee made for a good pay day for the winner

there only used to be like 5 of us that played it though, so i can see why they lowered it.

It started getting up around 8-9 some nights, man I love(d) that tourney!!

It also started earlier tonight than last season, that in itself may have helped numbers (which were 17 or so) as much or more as the buy-in lowering.

it used to be even more fun because people clearly had no idea and the nightly omaha used to cover most of my other buyins :D :D

but now it will be good as its cheap and everyone can have a good time learning the game

i'm just loving the fact that it requires so much grey matter to figure out whatyou have and what they have, i actually feel smarter for playing lol, being a low stakes player i'm glad i have a chance to play these, i say we push for a razz tourney though hahaha

words of advice - only draw to nut hands, especially when you are drawing to straights, as non nut straights are rarely good.

be prepared to fold straights/flushes on paired boards.

if you want more advice on omaha, ask caleb or the murrins or the kays. they are all really good omaha players (which is why i try to stick to holdem playing against those guys :D)


razz would be fun, although 888 dont even offer it.

omaha h/l would be fun though
