It"s 4 card. It"s only normal Omaha but 8 means it"s low as well as high (meaning you can win with a low hand of 5 cards that are 8 or lower )

Call me a cheapskate but I just booked my room for the week (Weds-Sunday). In the event that I make it through to the final day of the main event then i"ll have cashed so can get that extra night no problem.

I"ve gone for a hostel, since my pockets aren"t very deep and this is kind of my attempt at taking a shot at higher buy-in tournaments. Globetrott Inns at £13.49 a night. For an extra £1, I don"t need to pack a towel and for an extra £1.50, I can have some sort of breakfast

Thanks Chris, fortunately I know the rules but just wanted to check if it was 4/5(6) card PLO8  

4 card PLO8 not so interesting for me, regular PLO might have to do

Oh haha, I thought you were suggesting that it might be 8-card   sorry!

Interesting. Easy enough to implement now.. but roll on a few years and this will be impossible x

Can I wear flip-flops this time?

No track suites

What"s a track suite? Is it a plush room by a racing circuit?

I have been dipping in and out of this thread so apologies if answers to these questions have been posted already but here goes:

- When will the buy in route via Coral Poker be closed?
- If I want to unregister for an event but don"t manage to do so before the Coral option closes, can I still do that, how and what is the deadline?
- Can we get some clarity on the rules / guidelines for when you are reg"d in multiple events simultaneously - i.e. you are reg"d into an evening event but are still in the afternoon event. I assume your buy in is refunded? If so how? Cash at the venue?

Thanks
