Omaha Hi/Low Stairway to Heaven

[smyther]

Right absolutely pointless challenge with no end in sight just for a laugh really. There are 7 sit and goes levels i have played so im goin to play in each of them and see if i profit first few levels are pointless as any money won wont matter if i lose in the last few anyways who cares. The 7 are 3.40, 6.50, 16.00, 27.00, 60.00 and 114.00. Might even get this challenge done tonight. Ok if in cash in them all i'll buy something from the winnings. Bank 266.90 First up are the 3.40 and 6.50 simultaneously. People we are about to walk through the looking glass.

Re: Omaha Hi/Low Stairway to Heaven how can you be happy playing that,the best your gonna get is a high hand (you have no low) you have to give yourself a chance and play for both high and low,this would have been an instant fold for me

Re: Omaha Hi/Low Stairway to Heaven ok this was all my fault still had plenty of outs but the bet on the flop was a complete bluff bad play by me the turn was a dream card and i felt i could push him off the hand considering he hadnt pushed back on the flop.

Re: Omaha Hi/Low Stairway to Heaven Well they say start as you mean to continue or finish as it is in my case last sit and go played and a 2nd winner. So that was 114 entry 472.5 for the win and profit of 372.5. Overall profit 386.5 And so ends a completely pointless thread were i cashed in 3/7 tournaments Had 2 1st 1 2nd 1 4th 2 8th and 1 9th On second thoughts might make this a weekly thing and the challenge can be to cash in 7 out of 7.
