blonde poker forum

any low level high lo players fancy a skype group
where we can try and discuss hands and spot value comps

i am trying to focus my game choice to hi/lo (stud omaha courcheveal)
and 45 man holdem games and would be great to talk to people
who are like minded

Hey mate had a busy few days so I only just saw your pm today. I'm in for sure (Y)

I play PLO8 almost to the exclusion of other formats these days Iron, but I'm not really into "Skype groups" & that sort of stuff, sorry.

Hope it goes well though. I'm sure it will.

I AM interesting in trying to improve my game, just not via a Skype Group.

We can work on format of the learning tikay I just thought Skype groups was the trendy way forward,

Yes, I understand.

I just don't want to add another platform by which "random" people can get hold of me. Texts, Twitter, e-Mails, phone calls, PM's, i-Pad Message, I have way too many already.

I do have Skype, the Business people made me get it so I could do in-vision Skype calls to the Show, but that apart, its not for me. 

I mean in theory you have to accept everyone so there shouldn't be an issue.

I do, or don't?

Dont

I am planning on setting up a Skype id just for my poker keep it away from family and hangers on so you could create a secret Skype just for the group

Don't. Its early, what can I say!

I'm in if I can add anything...?

perfect thats 4 of us so far including tikay, i always say everyone can add things in poker even the worst players cause by speaking to them you can always learn what they are thinking so when you meet someone like that at the table you have a better understanding and from what i have read on the forum mr badge your a very good poker player so have alot to add

You'll certainly learn a lot about how a bad player thinks by listening to me!

I love playing hi/lo, though I've done very little theory on it and play mostly by instinct, so I'd probably be taking knowledge out rather than putting much in.

I'd particularly like to learn more about how others handle awkward situations, like when to call or fold with a non-nut hand for one side if you think he is likely to just have the other side.

Is this the NLO8 hyper thread? 

Anything hi/lo doobs not sure I have seen ant hi/lo hypers will have to keep an eye out

There are loads in the sit and go lobby.  They go from $1.50 right the way to $500.  I think all the hypers are no limit.  I have already mentioned this to Tikay, but they seem hugely popular; the volume in the hi/lo games is something like 10 times that in the equivalent straight Omaha games (at least at the levels I play).  Given they have only been around for a year or so, their popularity astonishes me.  If I play just $15s and $30s, I often find they open so quickly I just can't keep up.   


 

doobs i hate you
