il play a uk plo cash game representing team Dubai, preferably higher than 2-5 tho surely

Seriously tempted, but the problem is, Omaha is not a commercially viable product really, not to spend a lot of time & resource on, anyway, as the % of Online play on Omaha is pretty miniscule compared to NLH, so that's where the Marketing spend is concentrated. Hence Televised poker is almost never Omaha, which I find rather sad, but it's easy to see why.

Even so, I'm seriously intrigued by a bunch of you high-rollers playing a deep PLO game for the cameras, it might just be a bit special.  Is Flushy any good at Omaha? Ever won anything, like?

Two further potential problems are that we can only really seat 6 (for reasons of camera positions & Studio limitations), but that'd be good, I think.

The other problem I need to check out. We don't use hole card cameras, we use playing cards which are sort of bar-coded (they have an embedded PIN I think), & that info is trasnsferred via an overhead camera/bar-code reader to a screen-graphic which includes the win % for each hand.  And I'm not sure if it's programmed for Omaha. I'll check it out.

Anyway, let's truncate this convo here, as we are hijacking the Thread, but happy to discuss elsewhere.

James Dr Oetker Ootkins - woulda thought you realised Amatay was joking as just after the $40k buy ins bit he put..'Lastly, Karl and Paul have also agreed to boomswitch my ipoker account so I’m hoping to tear up the high stakes online cash games'.

lol James, wasn't sure if you were serious in your tweet earlier, i'm still abit confuzzled tbh. Obv the $40k in buyins is a blag but the company car is pretty sweet imo.
