How long do you suppose it is before mongidig or Mubsy Bogues take exception to Schneids' posts in the "Back to Basics" thread?

The entirety of his posts were discussing strategy not nitpicking over the definition of words, so I don't see why I would take exception?

When even lawdude can school you on 2p2 posting etiquette and decorum and be absolutely on-target, you probably ought to take a good, hard look at your 2p2 posting etiquette and decorum.

(Unless you're intentionally trolling, of course; in which case you could probably teach a master class in trolling.)

-nlhe players will only play 10/25+ nl
-game will almost definitely be shorthanded (5 or less players). Nlhe regs have a lot of experience playing nl short, LHE regs have a lot of experience playing both games short (although at smaller stakes on the nlhe side)
-nlhe regs are very good/excellent at nlhe, no experience/poor lhe players
-LHE players are good/very good at LHE and below average/average nlhe players.
The LHE game needs more marketing creativity like your ideas......in the east, our player pool is limited and players (most) are reluctant to move into higher stakes..... Our 40/80 game, was running good for a while, now seems dead. I've floated the idea of rotating the blind's every ten orbits.... Play an orbit at 20/40, then 40/80..... Or 10/20 + 20/40 ...... Maybe get some if the players playing lower to move up if not faced with out of comfort level stakes for a session...... Most of the suits embrace the concept with issues of figuring out rake/time game to be figured out but not an idea buster. Consensus of players I run it by is positive, but The very best 40/80 players, are 100% against trying it..... Instead of getting some new players in the game to give it a shot, build the field....... The game does not run. Awesome strategy.

I don't know if that would work or not, but I have to say that's the weirdest idea I've heard of. You get props for thinking outside of the box at the very least.

we play OEM on 1 orbit cycles..... Omaha8, Stud, Limit.... very different blinds, ante, betting and play...... could work..

E for "eight or better" makes pretty good sense when you know that the previous way to play 7 card stud high low was with no qualifier for low.

I've always seen this game called HOE
Not sure what's with the OEM
11-21-2014 , 04:00 AM
I was joking guys. There's like an 80% probability it was a typo or autocorrect.

11-21-2014 , 11:39 AM

2-2 PLO has been going quite frequently lately.

You'd need the correct lineup of people to get 40 going.
