Weekly PLO Game? Any Interest?
 

So on the beginners forum Basementproject started this post about having a weekly game involving 2+2ers where we could play for very micro stakes and learn from one another. The problem is that the majority of the players will end up being NLH, and although I said I would participate, I am disappointed that no real PLO players will be joining this weekly game. I was wondering how much interest there is amongst you all in having a micro game where it isn't really about making money off each other but a good time to see how each other plays and give advice to one another. I am really hoping some of the great PLO players here would be interested in helping us lowly microstakes players lol. If this sounds interesting to you, let me know.

Re: Weekly PLO Game? Any Interest?
 

sunday night would be ok for something like this and its always going to be time dependant - the only issue i can see with a micro stakes game is there is going to be a huge amount of gambling going on due to alot of people being over rolled [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] perhaps for this reason a MTT might be better?

Re: Weekly PLO Game? Any Interest?
 

MTT much better

Re: Weekly PLO Game? Any Interest?
 

2+2 cash games tend to quickly degenerate into aggro fests and little is learned. A tourney definitely is better, though you'd be learning something different than what you intended in the first place.

Re: Weekly PLO Game? Any Interest?
 

My 2 cents is that I think PLO MTTs are only fun if they're rebuy so the tables are deep. Also, if europeans like me are going to play night time no can do

FYP. Omaha is NOT a tournament game.

Re: Weekly PLO Game? Any Interest?
 

A tourney definitely is better as a learning experience (meaning you might actually learn something) than a micro cash game with a bunch of overrolled aggro monkeys. Perhaps that wasn't made clear.

As for Omaha as a tournament game, well, I'm not going to disagree.

Re: Weekly PLO Game? Any Interest?
 

You could solve the microstakes problem by having people crossbook action but that would probably just results in people trying to hurt each other. I know I would at least.

Re: Weekly PLO Game? Any Interest?
 

If ppl are going to consider an MTT you probably want a 25 or 50 dollar buyin and either 3000 or 4000 chips to start.

Re: Weekly PLO Game? Any Interest?
 

Well my thinking was that cash game would be better than a MTT because most of plan is to use these skills in a cash setting not a tournament setting.

As for the aggression, it was my understanding that everyone would play AS IF they were playing at their bankroll level and not treating it like a play money situation. ( Remple had a good point for those of you with big stakes maybe you can have side action based on your performance if you need that).

LOL. Of course apparently I don't know how you guys think!

I assumed that everyone would understand that we will play as if it were a real game, at the level you are used to being bankrolled at or the point is entirely missed.

The time of the tourney can be structured for european players and american players because I realize there are a lot european players.

LOL as for the $50 PLO idea NO WAY LOL I can't afford that and I don't want to go broke. I wanted to learn. My normal game is $25PLO so that is not possible, at least, in the game I wanted to get going.

I mean for this to be at the lowest stakes of PLO JUST for educational purposes... the idea is not to destroy one another but to treat it as a training exercise.

LOL you guys are so agressive! I don't mean for this to be a battle ground NOT really what I was thinking. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Weekly PLO Game? Any Interest?
 

but cash games are a battle ground.

Re: Weekly PLO Game? Any Interest?
 

love is a battle ground

sorry Ive been browsing bbv too much

Re: Weekly PLO Game? Any Interest?
 

No thats Love is a battlefield lol. I have a feeling we aren't going to get this game going.

Re: Weekly PLO Game? Any Interest?
 

You won't find many that play higher than those limits that are going to set aside time to give you what amounts to free coaching.

Yes it was made clear, and no it's not a "better learning experience".
Playing a tournament wont teach you anything when 99% of the time you play omaha will be in a cash game.

Better watch some videos of multitabling with commentary, for example Ribbo's ones. You'll learn much more.

Re: Weekly PLO Game? Any Interest?
 

Ok let me redirect this. Would anyone be interested in a micro cash game where we can sit down and learn and discuss PLO? If you want tourney maybe a new thread can be opened.

Yes or No [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]?

Just so we get an idea if anyone wants to do it in the first place. I understand your point Remple about free coaching. However, it isn't the same thing in my opinion because this is a group not just one person telling a noob how to play. It is the same as posting here ( do you consider that free coaching or collaboration?)... anyways that is how I see it [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Easy for me to say because I am a noob.

Sounds Like Ribbo would like to play, am I right?

Re: Weekly PLO Game? Any Interest?
 

I vote yes, depending of course on the details (site, stakes, time, number of players, etc.). Whether it'll work/be any use or not is another matter entirely.

Re: Weekly PLO Game? Any Interest?
 

i think the basic idea is a good one. trouble is: everytime i participated in such games in the past they turned into steam-blow spew-monkey donkfests sooner or later. well, rather sooner.

but let's try it. i'd be in.

Re: Weekly PLO Game? Any Interest?
 

i think its maybe just as well posting details here when you take a seat on Sundays or whenever Janelle and then if anyone wants to rock up they can do [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Good idea Elrazor. I will just set a time for this Sunday and anyone who wants to can show up. LOL some of the americans may not like the time I select because I am thinking of setting it during the football game since I don't watch it [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img].

Sunday Oct 21st 2PM ET time on Pokerstars $5PLO.

Re: Weekly PLO Game? Any Interest?
 

I've been lurking in this forum for a few days, just starting out at PLO [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'd be happy to join a "training game" as long as it's not too high stakes. $25 would be about my limit.
