OT: A feat I'm sure nobody has accomplished before

[Taraz]

It wasn't a home run or a grand slam. It was a triple, and a funky triple at that.

I was three-tabling. One $55, one $22, and one $11 Omaha Hi/Lo. All three 1st place. Quite possibly my best multitabling feat yet. Hooray me.

Speaking of Omaha Hi/lo sngs . . . they are amazing. I wish they were played at higher levels because at least 2/3 of the field has no clue how the game even works. (The low buy-in might be the reason that nobody has a clue though.)

Anybody else play any non-holdem sngs at all?

is there a name for 8 tabling and geting first in all?

[/ QUOTE ]In my experience, this is exceedingly true at $6 and $11 hi/lo but not so much above that.

I've got close to a 90% ITM across ~75 $6 hi/lo games (i ocassionally toss one in to my usual rotation as a mental challenge or as a break when i'm running bad/bored) and close to 75% across about as many $11 games. Small sample sizes, i know, but the games are ridiculous. People raising continuously with a draw to the nut low (without any possible high) so they're drawing for half the pot at best, etc...

Biggest problem is they take forever. Biggest advantage is people see almost every flop, so you need to see flops early and get out without great multi-way draws. I'd estimate over 50% of the time at $6 I enter the money with a 5x chiplead on the rest of the field combined, because of getting paid off on massive multi-way draws against weak players who have no idea what they're doing (i.e have top set, drawing to nut low and nut flush and nut boat and getting paid off by someone who's playing for the low only with something weak like two-pair or big PP for high)

I think that's called a Grand Slam, but I could be wrong.

4-tabling and getting all 1sts is a home run (4 bases)

8-tabling and getting all firsts is the HOLY GRAIL

[Taraz]

Yeah, I've played less than 20 $11's but I'm sure my ITM is above 70%. I don't keep track of them because I use PokerTracker and I'm too lazy to make a spreadsheet, but I think I might start just to see the actual stats.

I read a post where someone called it the "holy grail." I like that. I have never heard of anyone doing this.

a pwned slam?

[Slim Pickens]

I'm no jediknight I guess, but I donk around with O8 SnG's occasionally. I doubt more than 50% ITM is sustainable long-term even at the 6's just because O8 makes you sit through a large number of hands before hitting you with a huge scoop payout. Perfect for ring games... terrible for SnG's. People suck at the bubble though, and on an entirely new level than people suck at the bubble in NL holdem. HU is even funnier. It's not uncommon to go from a 2:1 chip disadvantage to a 4:1 advantage without ever seeing a showdown.

Where were you playing? My understanding was that O8's only ran at 6, 11, 33, and 55, but you said you were playing a 22.
