First match of the six and I managed third place...well chuffed.
A few interesting things along the way...
PV23pl scammed me with a 321 raise, early in the game, to take my blind of 50, then he only goes and shows the damned 27os, to laughs of dirision from around the table... so he is now on my hit list.
Took out The Groutch (playing as Zacharof) with the devil of a bad beat, drawing my straight on the river card. Now Mr Groutchy knocked me out of the last tournament so it was a case of sweet revenge I reckon.
Very happy with my own play, except for one silly move early on that didn't do much damage.
Ando_PL (aka mcgin) was left to battle it out with Xtrmntr3 (aka Norfolk...) in a dour head to head that lasted for some considerable time. Ando finally took the honours and the lead in the league table.
Great game!!!

Problems with Omaha low hand???
Was amazed that my eldest son is ''scared'' of playing Omaha Hi/Lo, I love it, so here are the basics, in plain English...
For the LOW hand only in Omaha, forget about poker all together...poker hands are ignored, it is just the numbers we are looking at here.
A low hand consists of 5 cards (2 of yours plus three off the table, as is usual with Omaha), they must all be different numbers AND they must all be 8 or less.
So the nuts are A2345 and the worst is 45678.
Be wary about going in too heavy on the strength of A2**, this can lead to multiple split pots and you could end up losing money with a winning hand...remember with the low you are playing for half the pot and if this half is shared then you won't get a lot back!
