So next friday im going to venture forth for my first real session at the boats here in kansas city. Ive scouted the games a little bit, and plan on playing in one of two games.
The first is a 15/30 Straight hold em. The play is probably a little better than your average B&M small stakes game, primarily because of two or three spots that are fairly decent players. Ive played against most of the better players once or twice in previous months, and while not 2+2 level, they are somewhat tight and probably marginal winners in the game due to the ever-present donators. There is always the potential for random huge fish to show up, given that it is friday, and thats the highest game they spread in hold em.
Game two is more exciting. Its a 10-20 hold em/omaha game. This game is absolutely a GAMBOOOLLLL!!!! fest. Ive seen some ridiculous call downs with A and K high for multiple bets, several overcalls on rivers that obviously completed draws, and just an all around great game. The problem of course is that half the game is limit omaha. There no split, so it probably wouldnt be that difficult to brush up on some omaha high specs, and just play a little tighter than optimum to minimize my opportunity to make mistakes.
So, do you think it would be possible to turn myself into a decent enough omaha player in a week to sit in the juicier mixed game, or should i play it safe and just take the 15/30? You decide....well, actually, you talk and i will decide.
