"Home" game on Pokerstars Monday night: You're invited! - Page 8 - Home Poker Games

Maybe they are not serious, just too lazy to type. The Palimax used to set up a Google Hangout, which was fun.

My daughter is home for a visit, so I couldn't make it. Seems like there is always something happening on Monday.

I'm not very quick on the keyboard so internet chat is a tough one. The wife was also very chatty last night so I was a little preoccupied.

Super swingy game for me last night but fun none the less.

The Situation

Join Date: Jul 2012 Posts: 5,147

If you flop top set in Omaha, but have no redraws, on a board 2 to the flush and 2 to the straight, do you fold?

I wanted to fold badly on the hand I went busto on. I flopped a set of Jacks with 2 diamonds, and an 8 or 9 on the board. I planned on check folding the flop, but my brain went crazy and I c/r all in instead. I felt like c/f there in a play money tournament might have been way too nitty.

But I have no real knowledge of proper play in Omaha at all, so I wasn't sure.

Sorry if I'm diverting the thread too much with a strat question, but I was genuinely unsure of what to do there.

Otherwise, fist pump and gamble.

I like that you guys seem to take it mostly serious. I can get some good practice in, especially on none HE variants, where I'm largely inexperienced.

congratulations, nicely done.

When I thought of letting the winner pick the next game, I imagined a lot of no-limit holdem tournaments, with maybe a PLO here and there. Guess I misestimated the crowd a bit! 5cd sounds great.

Check to make sure you are still in the club. Let me know if you are not. I had to boot some inactive players to approve more. I think I left you active, but apologies if I didn't.

Is it possible to create a home game where all of the participants pool their money together and the winner at the end of the season gets a Main Event Seat. Or is this illegal?

It sounds like it would be illegal, but the only reason I ask is I remember a lot of guys making it into the main event on ESPN openly admitting to winning their local home game.

Also I know of pubs/bars who host similar events, where the overall winner, wins a main event seat or something similar.

I am suggesting it, I would be in for sure. Probably wouldnt be able to get 100 players to ante $100 but what about 25 players to ante $200, where the overall winner would win a $5,000 package to a smaller WSOP event. Idk sounds like a great idea to me
