** Event 51: the S.H.O.E. at WSOP: $1,000 **

[PiquetteAces]

according to "about.com"

Definition: In a S.H.O.E. poker game or tournament event, the kind of poker played in each round varies -- in this case, the four games are:


S: Seven-card Stud high
H : Hold'em
O: Omaha
E: Seven-card stud high-low Eight or better, or hi-lo

according to www.worldseriesofpoker.com (http://www.worldseriesofpoker.com)

1 Stud $5 $5 $15 $15-$30
2 Hold’em - $10 $15 $15-$30
3 Omaha - $15 $30 $30-$60
4 Stud 8 $5 $10 $30 $30-$60

Im playing the WSOP'SHOE event in an hour about, & I don't know if the 0 is for omaha or omaha hi-low. Omaha (high)limit is not played anymore, but why they don't write Omaha hi-low if it's what it is ?

This is balla, signing up for a mixed event- not knowing what the events are

[RoundTower]

when they say Omaha in the US they always mean limit O8, when they say it in Europe they always mean PLO high.

Actually, it's only one game, & it' obviously omaha or omaha8, one or the other, I wouldn't really care, & it's not like if there was a chance that the "O" could mean chinese checker !

ohh & by the way, I'm out allready in 3 hours & half of play. That's a shame on me, especially in a limit'event !

The way some people played the hilo games you'd think "O" stood for "O, I have a hand let me play J553".

Busted around 150th about 10 minutes from making Day Two. We had two donkeys at our table who, EIGHT HOURS into a $1k tourney didn't understand what qualified as a low. Of course they were the chip leaders.

Quite a few CAZ regulars still in it when I left.

Field is super soft. Joe Tall made day two with average stack. Commerce regulars Ali and Suzy have huge stacks.

QFT. I saw one guy berate his opponent in Holdem for beating him with A4s. "A4 ! That's a crap hand !". Then we switched to Omaha, and in quick succession the coach showed down Q665, 9772, J773, etc. Naturally he fumbled his way to half the pot each time.

I guess he only gave Hold-em lessons.

Somehow I'm still in, with all of two bets. Go me !

My weak-tight ass has limped into day 2. I'm playing at the same table as Matt Matros, and he's run up his chip count to about 10K while I've actually dropped down to 1700.

I just didn't feel like bluffing at pots when my opponent has a pair showing in Stud/8 (lots of guys here play high only hands vs. a freerolling low), or firing into 3 opponents in Omaha/8 when the flop totally kills my hand. I just need to pick a hand in Stud and go with it and let the cards fall where they may.

[Bonified]

Hi dude, I'm the English guy on Matt's right. See you at 3pm, however briefly, for both of us !

[Admo]

Is chip leader this Susan Genard? (listed as "Susie Genard" at PokerNews)

I managed to pick up split 8s and triple up on the first hand of the new day. I was a little worried when the opponent betting made open 9s (stud HIGH), but I hit 2 pair on 6th street which was good enough to win (though I also hit a full house on 7th street). I managed to nurse my stack and take a big pot off of Matt with (45)36Q in the Stud/8 round and hit a 7 to scoop. Finished in 39th place for my first ever WSOP cash. Bonified wasn't as lucky as he took his first hand and lost with it /images/graemlins/frown.gif

Damn that's a good poker name. Reminds me of +EV's Will Ferrell poker movie "Chip Lackey: Poker Stud".

I was sitting next to Chip when I busted out (not by him). He had a huge stack. PokerNews.com reports that he had AQ on a Q high board but ran into Aces. Luckily for him, this is limit. He managed to double up not long after that and is still in the hunt, however slim.

[Slim Pickens]

I hate multis. After running insanely hot before the dinner break and getting up to about 3.8k, I got to play three awesome hands and bust in the first "O" round after the break. The final hand featured the table fish (who of course had a huge stack) cold-calling a preflop three-bet with A468s. I had him totally crushed with A224s. Why can't I win a 52/48? Oh well. He still played that hand better than the hand where he got the middle third of my stack. All I know is it involved a holdem UTG limp-call with a hand somehow involving at least one 9.

Tom McEvoy was at my first table. He didn't seem to like it when I called his preflp raise from the BB in H after two cold-callers with 64o, flopped trips on an ace-high board, and played it totally standard. I also got berated for "sucking out a flush when all the diamonds were dead" by the player next to McEvoy, who I think I should have recognized but didn't. He didn't seem to care that I was the bring-in, no one bet on 4th, and I caught my flush on 5th. I made my 7-5 on the end and c/r'ed his obvious 7-6 and probable straight.
