Omaha Amateur Poker Championship how to regesiter

<< < (8/8)

BobFish:
Just to add my two penneth, I would really appreciate it if the Omaha event starting chips could be set higher.

5000 would be better, but for a "World" event, 10,000 is surely the way to go. this would give us lots of scope to play, and we all know, omaha is an "Action" game.

Just 3000 chips would effectively turn the event into a coin flip tournament.  Whoever happens to get the best hands early on has such an advantage.

(With 80 players only, we"re bound to finish at some point in the early hours without risk of going over to  second day)

Cheers
BobFish

monkeyman:
Even with 80 players, my money is on this one being the earliest finisher as I suspect there will be a lot of players involved with little experience of the game and this tends to lead to lots of bit pots early

HungryHippo:
On the basis of the response so far from APAT and those that will be playing - i think it is fair to think that the starting chips stack for the Omaha event will be in excess of 3,000 (at least 5,000 and ideally 10,000)
I think its also fair to say that most players would be happy to play until the early hours to finish this game rather than see it end up as a crapshoot

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!
