Just witnessed something interesting over on Full Tilt. There was a 6 handed $200/$400 pot limit omaha table with Phil Ivey,David Benyamine, Ben Grundy and some other players I didn"t know. Post flop, Ben Grundy and 2 of the others shoved a total of $55000 ish into the middle and the pot was taken down by one of the unknowns. Mr Grundy left the table with a comment of F**n idiot. Oh dear.
   You may be surprised to learn I was spectating not playing in this hand!  :o

Not a huge amount to report on the poker front from the last few days. The hours I have put in have tended to be on Omaha cash tables. I"ve had a theory for a while that there"s relatively easy money to be had playing Omaha as there aren"t that many people who play it very well. I"ve experimented with a few different sites and some are distinctly softer than others but, whilst I wouldn"t claim to be very good at it, there are less competent Omaha than Hold'em players out there. 
 Tonight"s online action was in Full Tilt"s $11 combined Hold'em/Omaha Tourney. I"ve played a lot of split sit and gos on the same site and have done well mainly by playing  as few Hold'em hands as possible and piling the chips in when I"ve got a good draw with an Omaha hand. Tonight I finished 6th of 69 despite leading and having double the chips of the 2nd place player when there were only 12 left. Twice I lost hands by putting people all in on after the flop on an Omaha hand when I held an open-ended straight draw and nut-flush draw. Ho hum, maybe next time.

I have been experimenting with PLO and PLO H/L on stars micro cash tables and would defo advise it for a quick buck.  Played the last 2 nights and started with $5 on the table in 0.01/0.02c tables.  I made over $30!! These are so soft its unbelievable even with only very limited Omaha experience it relatively easy to get paid.

Forgive me father for I have sinned. I have committed the heinous crime of not spending 4 hours each night typing "FFS" into my messagebox, but have actually forsaken poker altogether some evenings to watch football. I feel dirty just saying it.
  On the important issue of the day, I can"t believe that the contest for the commercial gold mine that is being named "Official biscuit of APAT" is being fought out by Ginger Nuts and, I can hardly say this, Bourbons. People, have you no shame? The fact that Jammy Dodgers have had hardly a mention in this fiercely-fought debate brings shame upon us all. Tut, tut

Nice post monkey.  I particularly like the "official biscuit" angle and I"m calculating sponsorship values as I write. I think this has to be pitched to biscuit royalty...hob nobs.

If Bain reads that bit about hob nobs being biscuit royalty, I fear blood will be shed :D

Guilty as charged. Have pity on me as, deep breath, I am a poker addict and I have a problem. Admitting my difficulty was the first part of the 12 step program, part 2 was to play short sessions on cash tables. In some ways you could say that playing cash omaha on Betfair is my equivalent of methadone, I need a fix of some sort but its not the real thing.
