Any Omaha tonight?

I just asked around for ya Gambit. I know some guys were interested in PLO8 tonight.

plo/nl 100-300, 1/2 electric stick, i think it starts about 9pm

Think im a get my live degen on. Im a head over to northville 2nite.

Thx... If anything gets organized let me know please

Thanks for the info... I don't think I'll drive that far tonight but I'm glad to know its an option... Thx again

you should most def call ahead. they may not have it going every night, but when it does go, it goes strong. there are 2/5 plo games going on in el... i know some of you are cool with driving 60 minutes for a game.. ill supply more info if people are interested.

wait are they running it or are you saying they would run the 1/2 rxr if they got interest?

Has anyone played at Docs in Livonia? How is the setup? I was in there prior to them running poker and it was a pretty loud bar. Is their poker room isolated in any way?

Also is it well run?

it's well run. the game room is secluded from the rest of the restaurant by swinging wooden doors, i've never been bothered by any noise. they have lots of tvs around with games on. they usually have 4 tables running, you can call ahead and reserve your seat (248) 755-5344.

they run one table of 1/2 plo on wednesdays, everyday else it's just 1/2 nl.

they run it regularly... its a pretty crazy game. Im just never really there late on weekends to see it, so I don't know. A well placed phone call cant hurt.

nice, thank you. I'll have to check it out.

FYI tourney at Four Aces on Sundays is PLO not 8. I think Omaha asked if anyone would be playing it tomorrow. I'm here now and the PLO8 tourney isn't till the 28th.

Banged out a nice loss today. Kind of mad about it.
TR later?

Okay, thanks for the heads up. I'm probably going to play anyway.

So, since driving 60 minutes for a card room isn't seen as outrageous, I am willing to go and play elsewhere.
I live in Ann Arbor. Where should I play?
I have played in Northville, Docs, and Electric Stick, as well as both rooms in East Lansing.

I suggest Snookers... There is always action in that place..

i am so lazy. couldn't even drive to play poker. lol o well. yea for him to go to snookers from Ann Arbor would be a really long drive. probably lots of other places for him to go. Good luck to everyone playing today

Hey village, I'm up at snookers right now... Come on up and play.

Played at NVD and busted with 2x tables left b4 the FT. If u r the skinny kid that was at my starting table to my left, send me a PM so we can talk poker.

Playing at MCC tomorrow, 5pm. Ill be in a full zip hoodie, backwards hat most likely.
If anyone wants to join, PM me, Ill be around for most of the day before that.

Played the $40 PLO Freeze-out at Four Aces yesterday. Have to agree with Steeser and Gambit about your typical PLO fish overplaying aces. And yet, no one busted at my table doing so. Oh wait. I did. Tournament started pretty deep at like 400 bb.

Wouldn't you know it, aggressive young kid at the table who seem to know a few people in the room was the first to bust. He was the only one raising pot pre-flop without aces, and getting called in every spot that limped. Got out flopped just about every time.

I basically never saw a bet turn the first four levels. Pizza at the break. Came back after the break with 17,900 in chips still. I get aces with one of them suited and a dangler. Min raise preflop with blinds escalating and actually get half the field to fold. I'm UTG and make the mistake of not paying attention to stack sizes. I continuation bet what looks like a pretty safe board, and I have backdoor flush possibilities. Short stack goes all in for less than my bet, next player goes all in for only 3,000 more. Folds to me, I call and I'm up against set of threes and straight draw. I win the side pot and short stack wins the main. This is the only pot I rake the whole tournament. I get my money in good with aces and some backdoor draws heads up, and first time PLO player beats me when they make a straight on the turn. Off to the cash game.
Pretty soft table. Tournament regular named Jamie (not me) sits down after busting out of the tourney. Sees a raise and a call in front of him, looks at his cards and goes all in for $100. Everyone folds to the guy who had flatted the original raise who says it's his last hand and calls. Has KT in bad shape against tournament reg's jacks. King on the window = rebuy! Guy who won decides to stay one more orbit, but eventually leaves with his double up. Nice form, sir!

I'm up and down, waiting for a good spot when Gambit busts out of the tourney and wants to get some dinner. I tell him to wait a couple of hands and I will join him. I get 9cTc in the big blind and complete a $7 bet by UTG. To the flop four handed. Flop is 9-8-3c. I hit that board hard with top pair, backdoor straight draws, and backdoor flush draws. I bet $20. UTG goes all in for $63, and I call with the nuts. Villain has A9 of hearts. Turn is a Queen no club, and river is 2 of clubs. Nice hand, sir. Down $100 for the day and down for the whole weekend.

Ahh, so were you and Gambit the ones playing some sort of card game prior to the tourney?

You are spot on in your assessment with regards to the over-play of big pocket pairs. Fact is, many have never played Omaha or have only done so a handful of times. So when they get dealt Aces, Kings, etc, their hold-em mentality takes over.

Perfect example, we're down to 4. I've got the chip lead. Guy who is a close second pots it PF. I have 6778 IP and call. It's clear he has a big pair as he's shown down as such in prior instances. I flop a set and some sort of straight draw ( can't remember ) on a 9 high flop. He pots, I re-pot, and he calls with Jacks and no draw of any sort. GG.

The card game is called guillotine... And yes that was us playing it.

Was at Northville Downs last night.

As I was switching charities, I noticed they had an interest sheet. PLO, O8, 7Stud, RxR, and a couple 2-5 games on there. So, it seems they are up to the idea of spreading games other than 1/2NL. I notice a few people in this thread are always looking for places to run O8, so I figured I would give you all a heads up. There were 2 names on PLO and 2 names on O8.

I am too much of a nit to play Omaha, though.. so don't count me in!
