Williamson\'s last few years PL Omaha record
he get's almost no recognition but to me it's pretty damn amazing, almost as good as any run I've seen and to me you can get quite lucky in NL hold'em but in PL omaha to get a 1st in 02, 3rd in 03 + another final table, 2nd in O4, 2nd in 05.
I guess we americans are too simple and only those damn sophisticated Euros could appreciate the game [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Re: Williamson\'s last few years PL Omaha record
all the plo events except for this yrs 10K have been rebuy. consiering you can take a double add-on you can buy your way to a fairly healthy stack. at least half the field does not invest too heavy (one or zero rebuys)
i dont have any knowledge of how much williamson rebuys. just saying it is alot easier to make it closer to the end than the hold em events if your willing to rebuy alot. even dumb who cant play omaha made it pretty far with some aggressive rebuying.

[/ QUOTE ] I agree totaly, how many rebuys and how you play during the rebuy period is part of the tournament strategy and will affect the outcome. The other persons could done the same. Saying someone won just beacuse he rebought more than the others (who said he did btw?) is just bs.

Re: Williamson\'s last few years PL Omaha record
i do not mean to take anything away from williamson. no matter how much he has rebought he has won a fortune at these tourneys and his record is extremely impressive.
my only point is if you are willing to take a full complement of rebuys you are gaining a pretty big edge on the rest of the field. 8000 starting chips which you can guarantee versus 2000 is a huge edge. so if the field had 200 players i would consider it more like a 130 player field.

Re: Williamson\'s last few years PL Omaha record
WTF? Everybody else can rebuy, too, for crying out loud. And no one else has come close to this guy's record in PLO. I mean, geez, give the guy some credit.

[/ QUOTE ] The rebuy period is fairly short when you compare it to the entire length of the tournament. Also, a lot of other people go nuts with the rebuys in events like that, so your argument is kinda weak. RW3 rules.

[/ QUOTE ] I won't be a jerk and ask for your facts about the amount of rebuys. But the rebuy tourney I played in (where RW III was to my right) I heard rebuy more than I heard the chips being shuffled. RW III did rebuy a lot but like I said there were so many others that did the same. My guess would have been that there were more than just 1 add on or rebuy on the average.
