You still around Rob? FT now - 6/8. I really don"t deserve to still be in. 3 seats & $465 for 4th, though.

That is one which I would definitely have unregistered from. I"m not as strong at Omaha as at HE, though better at PLO8 than PLO. I was surprised to get that far from 94, but the truth is that there was a lot of luck involved - maybe the turbo dilution of skill was to my advantage. Several times I just had to hope for the best, though the turbo nature of the game forced uncomfortable options to be taken. A couple of times I wasn"t in good shape but the split saved me. I would feel uncomfortable investing $530 in any Omaha tournament, though, so I would have banked the $, whereas I do feel comfortable going for it at Razz. I"m probably not much better at Razz than Holdem, but the fields are definitely much weaker, which amounts to much the same thing.

Dear John,
I am finding your advice most interesting and was wondering if it is only limited to Poker?
The reason I ask is that I have 3 females in my household, one of which is a teenager!
Badugi is also something that baffles me.

Dear Stuart
I"m sorry that your question was overlooked. I"ve been a little distracted lately, what with one thing and another. You know how it is - you mean to attend to something but then something else comes up and the first thing gets left - like your question. I"ve had it at the back of my mind all along but for some reason didn"t bring it to the front. Maybe it"s a motivation thing - we all have a tendency to do the easy thing first instead of the important thing - which is probably why I have neglected you until now.
So.......your question. You bring up a thought-provoking subject, the complicated milieu of males and females living in the same space, complicated further by the adult-child and adult-teenager scenarios, with their repeating patterns that will drive you crazy and make you happy at the same time. You are provider, protector and teacher, whilst you are also policeman, judge and prison guard. For you is this amazing terrible fantastic experience and you should soak it up while it happening. At the time, it seems like it will last for ever but, too soon, it is over and is just another collection of your memories.
Anyway, back to your question. Em, there doesn"t appear to be a question. Were you just sharing your living arrangements with us?
John

I finished in 26th when I turned my queens full of 2s into a bluff on the turn and was called down on 2 streets by queens full of 3s.
I would have played this. Loads of players (myself included) are terrible at this, so I figured I had an even chance :)

FFS, it was you that gave me the idea of unregistering from tournaments in the first place, when you posted about how you satellite into the Sunday Million for fun every week and then unreg for the T$. I didn"t enjoy the randomness of that tournament, even though I nearly scored, though I suppose the final will have a more playable structure.
MintTrav:
I have unregistered from the Razz. I thought by doing that I could see more clearly whether I wanted to buy back in. And, inevitably, I now think it"s too much to pay to enter.
So, I used $10 x 3 of it on a WCOOP Stud sat and, er, now I"ve got the same problem again, except it"s for $300 + $20 this time. Tomorrow night. I see my old sparring partner GeorgeDanzer is already registered. I"ll prob end up withdrawing from that too in the end.
