I took the liberty of throwing up a private tourney on PokerStars for tomorrow night 21:40 EST.

Tourney 40796091 $5.50 PLO8 Jan 18 9:40 (Starts 10 minutes after the nightly $5.50 PLO8 donkament.)

If anybody shows up, I'll plan to throw this on the calendar as a regular Thursday night thing, perhaps alternating FL and PL. I hope this cheap buy-in will attract the lurkers and noobs (yours truly included).

As an ethics clarification, any after-the-fact hand analysis on this forum should not include any screen ids except for when self-identied.

I'm in for a good ole' fashioned donkament. $5.50 is alright. I would bump it to $10. The posters at the 1-table tourney forums have their weekly donkaments twice a night on Wednesdays for 10 bucks. We should have had the same for quite some time....can't wait.

THE HUN.

I'm in. I was planning on finishing out of the money in the 9:30 tournament. I can adjust my schedule to do it at 9:40. It will cut into the time I allot for whining and self-doubt.

I like giving away, as noted this weekend.

Count me in.

I would love to on any other night, but truth be told, during that time slot Comedy Night: Done Right!

i have a home game to get to on most Thursdays... sounds like fun though.

Mainly just a bump to keep this on the front page. What is the minimum # we need for it to go?

I FT'd the 5.50 PLO8 tournament last night, so staying awake for this one will be a challenge. Running on coffee and stress at the moment.

[franknagaijr]

Conrats on that. I've mini-monied the $5.50, but never seem to find the right mix of agression and prudence to make it to the real money. Any advice for the post-bubble?

I'm up for short-handed if it comes to that. I always like to double-table the early levels of the $5.50 so that my head doesn't hurt from watching the truly horrendous plays that get paid off.

[amaranto]

Thanks. When I get home, I'll post the hand I went out on. Villian rivered a better full house to scoop the pot. I'd feel worse, but I was being overagressive at that point. According to Two Dimes, it was 47-53 on the flop and 58-42 on the turn. I was in 3rd at the time (finished 7th), so I definitely could have picked a better time to move.

I think I was suffering from chip intoxication at that point. I'd been a tiny stack since the bubble and went into the final table with 12k chips. I'd worked it up to 78k and third place when I got carried away.

Oh well, it was fun and reminded me why I enjoy PLO8 more than PLO.

I'll be there tonight.

For future reference, I'm pretty sure using the '2+2' title in non-officially-sanctioned events in a no-no.

I can't play tonight, but maybe some other time.
