Home Omaha Hi Tournament - Advice
 

Hi there.
I host a weekly 6max NL Holdem tournament that is pretty successful.

- Blinds start 5 / 10 and proceed from there [10/20; 15/30 etc].
- Chip count 1500
- Prize split 70 / 30 between 1st and 2nd

I have never tried to apply this structure to Omaha. I presume an Omaha tournament should be played Pot Limit?

Would the same strcuture work well for Omaha?

We just played a omaha hi PL tournament using the very same structure last night and it went fine. It took about 5 hours to complete using 30 min rounds and had 6 people with rebuys for the first hour, no antes. We had a lot of fun for it being our first omaha tournament.

Thanks mate, will post and let you know how it went next Thursday.

Just out of curiosity who keeps track of the pot?

I guess if all your players know and understand PL it's not too much of a problem?

Pot limit new to us, but I think we all get the gist.
We will estimate generally, but make an accurate count if someone bets pot, or a bet looks too large.

Not a huge buyin so doesn't have to be absolutely accurate.

Also: does anyone have any strategic advice?
Starting hands / tight or loose play? / agression? / do the ordinary tight - loosen up on bubble principles apply?

I'm sorry, were you serious with those last few questions about structure?

And I think PL works well with Omaha

But the dealer or designated table captain should help/control to make things easier.

Keeping your chips in front of you, instead of in the pot, during each street makes things easier as well. DEFINATELY no pot-splashing in pot-limit, please

Thanks people.
Any comments on strategy for a single table PLO Hi tournament?
Do the same principles apply as in a NLH SNG? [loosening up on the bubble etc?].
I guess seeing a lot of hands for cheap is wise since no hand in Omaha Hi is a huge pre-flop favourite?
What kinds of hands are we getting aggro with late in the game?
