Default We lack O8 tournaments already - now this

Playing O8 live in a decent sized tournament is a rare occurence these days. At least the WSOP, Foxwoods, and the Taj seem to remember the game exists. Of course, the online rooms have it. But check this out...

If you are within distance of Atlantic City, you have a choice to make. The WCOOP at pokerstars has had the schedule out for a while now. The O8 limit event is Sep 19. The PLO8 is Sep 25.

The Taj US Poker Championship series has BOTH O8 and PLO8, and even some two way hi low. But the O8 limit event is on the same day as the Stars event. The PLO8 event is the day after the stars event. In my case, I could play the stars event starting at 4pm and still make the final table and drive to AC for the live event. But anyone further than a few hours wouldn't.

Who thought the day would come when one would have to choose between a big online O8 tourney and a comparable buyin live?
