Played the $200 HORSE freeroll on a Merge Network Site(not gonna mention names since site not listed here)....
Finished 2nd, prize of $14 + a $11 satelite ticket....I chose to play the HORSE freeroll cos I feel I have a better edge at this game with so many donkeys around and yeah,it paid off!
Now to see if a mircale can happen with this $14 and ticket that I have...wish me luck, people!

"Bad Beat" & "Omaha" could just about be considered synonymous
Posted by Kattgen: Great job xxxYUMIxxx. Good luck in the tournament you won the ticket to. When is that played?
This was played just last night.

Posted by biankahun: Congrats! I like H.O.R.S.E ,8game,H.O.S.E too. this type tours longer like other but always +++++EV cos lot of donk paid u.
I agree with you so much on this, if you notice the real "chip donation" comes during RAZZ and also I cannot help but notice that a lot of players will sit out or go on donk mode once they realise it is HORSE, maybe they registered thinking it was HOLDEM or something...but in any case, it is definitely +EV for me.

Yes. Those HORSE and RAZZ games are a lot of fun and if you know the rules and have some expirience you have an edge. Most players can only play Holdem a little.

That is very impressive. 2 games i'm no good at. Never took the time to learn them properly. Nice to see a Mobster can play good in these type of tourneys. Keep up the great work. Hope you win big next time around.
My strategy: i dont play in limit holdem.. (this is my weakness.. i cant play limit holdem..and i dont want to loose chip in the first 5min..) omaha hi low: my favourite! i try to duble up with nut low and acceptable high hand or nut high and second nut low.. if i made im waiting for stud hi/low razz and 72triple draw. Razz/badugi/72triple draw:in this type of games i try to maximalize my winnings,cos lot of player dont know the rules.. i saw all in with A2345 hand in 72lowball..and same.. i try to stack that idiots. NLHoldem:im not so bad at holdem but i dont like push all in with my collected stack.. i sucked out in holdem too much.. if someone push all in preflop with a large stack i fold AK,AQ,JJ... i dont risk.. i try to made stack in limit or potlimit games.. My biggest problem is limit holdem when blinds are big..1500/3000 and more.. lot of time i sucked in that part of tour.. nearly to itm or itm but not ft..
. Damn this Omaha, can't seem to be able to cope with it.
