WCOAP - Omaha

[Badger]

agree with 10k stack, cant justify coming that far for a 3k jobby and I imagine a fair few will feel the same.

Omaha tourneys usually finish a bit quicker than Holdem as you get a lot more big hand clashes.

Agree.
I would have loved to come down for this but its to far for 3k starting chips. Didnt even bother trying to get a seat.


Cheers.

I understand that the stack has now increased to 10K...might be adjusted downwards if it sells out.

When can we expect a decision on the starting stack?  

[yousefian]

what time does this event start? I reckon you"ll get a load more runner if starta after 5, as you know alot us work from 9-5. 2.30pm isnt a great time to start?

is it 2.30pm is that correct?

[Jon MW]

Yes but as a lot of people work and have to get to London for the side events they would have to take at least the afternoon off (to get to London for say 5 o clock start) and they"d have to take the following day off in case they went deep.

At least this way there"s a small chance that you could get away with playing a side event by only taking one afternoon off.

If you don"t live in London it"s going to involve taking time off work whatever time it starts.

[yousefian]

i"ll try and twist the bosses arm for the afternoon off then. Cant wait, especially if we get the increase in chips

[yousefian]

Just as an FYI

Gutshot hold a really good omaha event on tuesday evenings at 8pm, now they use a 30 min clock, and you get 5,000. Now with aroun 60 runners. They finish around 2am at the lastest. So starting at half 2, you"ll be finished in no time. So i think 5,000 minium, but 10,000 would turn it into a great event.

People love to POT, so i"m sure the money will go in!

[Jon MW]

Is the Gutshot structure around anywhere so we can compare the blind increases to the one APAT are going to use?

That could give a good basis of comparison even if they"re only vaguely similar.

On a cautionary note though - I expect play to be tighter than normal in this one, but that"s only a guess really.

[yousefian]

its basically this

25/50
50/100
75/150
100/200
200/400
300/600
400/800
600/1200
800/1600
1000/2000
1500/3000
2000/4000
3000/6000
.....

I would like to play in these event but wil only be able to opurchase a ticket on friday,is there any way i can reserve a ticket or will they still be avaiable then?

Cheers

[IBangU]

I guess it will just be a matter of taking your chances - I don"t believe there is any way to reserve them without buying, unless you get a mate to buy one now and then do a seat exchange

[WarBwastardo]

Why not give Simon Trumper a quick call at DTD and ask him how long an 80 runner PLO tournament should take with the various chip stacks sizes that have been proposed and then pick the largest that can be completed in the allotted time?  

It"s a bit unreasonable to ask people to buy into an event without being able to give a definitive answer on stack size.    

[IBangU]

I agree. It certainly makes no sense to have the same starting stacks for the Omaha and the Razz as the Razz is limit and Omaha is PL.
