DAVE "EL BLONDIE" COLCLOUGH - European Player of the Year

[elblondie]

I wasn't discounting what you say just pointing out that there is a fundamental flaw in 6 card and that is the maniac effect, the only way to overcome it is to be as deep stacked as the rest.
I have sat there for round upon round passing hands because i think the starting hand criteria should be a lot tighter, you can (and most do) look at every hand you get dealt and see magical properties therin.
The trouble is when you do enter a pot it is a) gonna be expensive and b) have to be a bloody good flop.
I specifically mentioned Walsall and The Broadway BECAUSE i know you've played there, it is a different prospect entirely for you because you have the bigger roll to play more pots.
I am fascinated by your insights into Omaha and specifically 6 card so don't let me put you off

Sorry. I was just trying to use you to illustrate my original point...that most players disagree with me when it comes to Omaha.

Personally I look at the maniac affect as a good thing. If the loose players are enjoying themselves and playing too many pots, it can only be a good thing, as long as   a) you can keep a cool head, and    b) as you point out, you can hit a few good flops

[elblondie]

i would love for elblondie and rolf slotbotton to put there heads together for an omaha book

Co-incidently I played with Rolf for about 6 hours in the PLO event at this weekends Irish Open festival (before eventually knocking him out with the worst hand of course).  I love playing with him because he is great fun at the table and behaves impeccably... However we are pretty much complete opposites when it comes to let's say
a) amount of hands played
b) which hands to pre-flop raise with
etc etc
The real beauty about Omaha is that there are several ways to crack the egg. Complete opposite styles of play can be equally affective.
Didn't Rolf already write one anyway? I am sure I heard someone comment along those lines?

[Ironside]

i think rolf has a book out on cash omaha he is a bit of a rock (teaches at PSO) his style doesnt translate too well to the shorten stacks of tourny play so i have opened my starting requirements

because your styles are the opposite i think it would make a better book rather than you and a player like robert williamson (from my limit knowledge of you both you are very similiar)

All we need now is a publisher... and an advance

Dave,

Whats your opinion of the cash game at the cincinnati club?

In particular the 06 game?  What skills do you think are important in that game and how did you approach it as you seemed to win at it?

[TightEnd]

main skill..always sit down in it if Bandit ever in game


appraoch it with headphones in case racing tips passed on

Headphones and iPods are banned mate!

So unfortunately you'd just have to listen to my innane ramblings.

Seriously though i'd be interested in Daves thoughts on this he seemed to be a consistent winner in that particular cash game.

Wow. I dont really know.
Patience, Stay cool, dont go on tilt, try and play quality hands, patience, discipline, get lucky, only chase nut draws never potential losing draws, patience, discipline, always call the Ratman when he is bluffing (however big the bet is), patience, discipline, minimise bluffing yourself (you will usually get called), dont let the big money guys bully you out of the big pots, if you have the hand, stick it in.

I dont even know who plays in the game nowadays
