A form of dealers choice.
We designate one player/seat as #1 per orbit at the beginning of the session. Usually with a simple high card deal. The deal then rotates from that player /seat (#1). Anybody can call Omaha Hi as his choice on his deal , but it can only be called twice per orbit. Then it reverts to NLH until the deal comes back to #1 for another orbit. It is optional and sometimes is not called, but with a full crew on hand there are some folks who always call it. So far it has worked out OK

At Daytona tonight, let's see if my card cover brings me luck (so far so good).

While I misplayed a couple of hands, that happens every session. Mostly I just ran bad. The Daytona 2/5 game is super-loose, so there's not a ton of room for creative play. I play a very value-heavy game, and when my hands don't hold up and my draws don't hit, I lose. The good thing is that on an average night, I play well enough to profit, and when I run hot, I go home with very full pockets.
A few examples of how things went:
- Red aces in SB, I 3b, LP limper calls, BTN raiser calls. Q-high
flop, short stacked BTN donk-shoves, I shove for 80bb. Villain 2 gives the "I hate to do this to you guys" speech and calls with 45. He gets there ldo for a 250bb pot. - Limp, limp, LP raise, I'm OTB with red tens and three-bet, solid reg in SB and fishy raiser call. Flop 986
, checks to me, I c-bet and SB calls, other villain folds. Q turn, check check. Q river, she shoves for about 3/4 pot, I tank for a good minute and fold. It felt like a flopped set, but I'm still not sure - probably need to analyze this one and see if my fold was a mistake. - I wasn't involved in this one, but a few hands later the same two villains (solid reg and fish) got AIPF in four bets with red AA vs A
K for a 300bb pot. Of course it ran out three spades and fish scooped it all. The other villain was obviously tilted, so she left for some food and came back about 20 minutes later. - New player to my right limps, four other limpers (including me with 66) and a raise, then new player shoves a short stack. I tank call, all else fold, he flips 99 and it holds. Probably my worst mistake of the night - at best I'm flipping, at worst I'm crushed like I was, and there was only 7-8bb in the pot before he shoved.
- Won a decent pot with 86s on 998xx board when straight and flush draws didn't get there. Lost it right back with A6 vs 66 on Axx6x.
- Ended the night with TPGK vs TPWK vs weak flush draw. AI three ways on the flop, FD gives the same damned "I hate to do this to you guys" speech that a different villain gave earlier. TPWK hits his 3 kicker on the turn, flush draw gets there on the river. I go home.

The most important missing piece of information IMO is what is the range for a "solid reg" to flat a 3-bet OOP (missing effective stacks for this too).

Tonight is the first friday meeting of the Glenn Place Rounders that has been threatened by inclement weather for several years. I have Facebooked, Emailed and called the crew and told them I was still spreading a game despite very unfriendly forecasts. They were welcome if they wanted to brave the elements. For anyone who shows up, this might be a certain way to get on the degen list.

Let's just say that Friday the 13th lived up to it's reputation. That shot was my peak for the evening. I ended the night down 300bb, my worst Daytona session in well over a year. Damn you and your unlucky chip, Breich, DAMN YOU!!!

If nothing else, maybe dim sum on Sunday before y'all head out of town.
