And we welcome Lord Raymer of Flip Flop to the table.

Heard an argument from the direction of the registration desk. Turned to see a short, stout gent with his hair in a mini man-bob.

Well hello there Jac Arama.

What a great name that is, Jac Arama

I flop every draw on earth but it bricks v well disguised aces, and I give a chunk back.

Very next hand I flop the wheel and 6 high straight v a naked wheel and I improve to the flush to get three quarters.

53,000 @ 300-600.

Certainly is  Lisa, though if my memory serves correct, his real name is or was something like Bert Smith.

I remember someone saying "I never saw a hand I didn't like pre-flop at Omaha Hi-Lo".

Pretty sure it wasn't Jac but it could have been.

Carry On Scooping.

Now we have been joined by Leif Force.

As $365 MTT's go, pretty hot field, this.

Good luck teeks and team.

Late reg has closed, we have 124 entries if the clock thing is to be believed, most of whom are still in.

Blinds go 500-1,000 now, and I have 48,000.

The next few levels will be harem scarem as that point of inflection thing makes an appearance.

At least our potential losses are capped at $365, as late reg has closed.

Level 10 just started, blinds go from 500-1,000 to 1,000-1,500.

90 players (from 139) remain, including Mr Arama who re-entered.

I am currently becalmed in a sea of poo, can't find a hand to save my life.

44,000.

You need hands for this game?  Knew I was going wrong somewhere.

[tikay]

Well hands, or a decent imagination.

Just dusted off 30,000 in a nasty coup. Flopped both nut draws and bet out, got called by Mr Tricky. Missed the turn, check check. River missed again but it looked a lovely board to bluff after my man checked again.

Big mistake that, which became apparent when he snap check raised me. Had to fold, A high and a missed low is the stuff of nightmares.

Life support now, 10,000, which is 7 bigs, and which will be 5 bigs in 3 minutes.

[tikay]

Got it all-in v Greg Raymer, and my double suited 2-4-4-6 was ahead v his A-2-poo-poo.

Was scooping until the river but his low got there. Chop chop.
