Caesar's IN. I finally worked up nerve enough to give it a try. I made two really stupid mistakes but managed to win $45.

Very, not very, pretty much everybody except me.

I was actually very suprised at the level of play. chipr777 is up from Tunica (Dealing in the WSOP circuit events)and we were talking about live Omaha. He said the .5-1 I have been playing on Party is probably tougher than the $10-20 live and He was dead on.

I am really new to Omaha. Like I still struggle with reading the board and understanding when my low gets counterfitted, etc. I felt that I could hold my own because they were just really loose and wild.

Are you local to the Louisvile Metro area? the Omaha game doesn't have a very strong following and it breaks pretty often so we need some more players.

[/ QUOTE ]I'm on the northern side of Cincinnati so some of the other casinos are closer, but I don't think they manage to get O8 going at all. Might be worth spending a weekend down there or something. Did they just have the $10/20 game going or other stakes as well?

Pot limit High only goes every Wednesday and usually Friday. Sometimes they have a 3-6 high/low but not very often.
