Angus - If only MOST of the players are miserable then that can be considered a really nice vibe for an Omaha table.

Sounds like the table where sternroolz was playing had a fine vibe going.

Really?

Most everyone else is miserable.

Good point. I was going by his "make nice with most" comment. But that does not mean anywhere near as much for describing the table mood as "everyone else is miserable."

Still, I would hate to see a player at the table get his ears up and ask "what's a donkey?"

Regardless of whether or not they become interested in what a donkey actually is, the point is that there is about a 95% chance that they will remain a donkey if they already are in that category. People don't suddenly improve when hearing strategy discussed after calling turns with K664 on a board of A-K-8-8 because they feel they "might" win half the pot.

How about making a copy of this thread and carrying it with you. Then if the situation arises, say to him/her/them, "Excuse me sir (or madam), you seem like a very knowledgable poker player. Could you tell me if there is any merit to this?" and hand it to them.

Pimp hand, son.

[ QUOTE ]

This is off the subject but I was just curious. What casino was this at? Is $6/12 the lowest stakes available or are there lower and higher stakes for O8?


[/ QUOTE ]

HG. They also have a $3-6. There are no higher stakes I am aware of. The full kill is in effect often.

Look, the deal is most of these guys are professional business people of some sort...self employed, doctors, etc. They are not dumb at all. But they are bad poker players. Still they are aware of some things(like this blabbermouth). Some of them refuse to play with one of the tighter players there...who also happens to be a decent person..not the typical omaha player ....but last time this tight player came in the game, two players explicitly stated they would not play if that player was in the game and got up and left.

Using an insulting term like donkey in front of people like this is not good at all for the game. Loosing a couple of the looser players makes Omaha 8 a bad game.
