just hit my last part on the omaha tables,was saying to IQA that it wasnt happening,played 3 hands and hit the straight flush... anyone doing the missions should play omaha tables to enhance your chances,although ive been hitting them hard and getting tilted by the bad play...gl all

Omaha counts for pairs mission!? I'll look into that.
Won 1st place in an Omaha comp the other night and 2 nd in 7card stud today. Withdrew a little and have buy ins for a while. I might try the Sunday Omaha games again tomorrow. They are a little expensive to buy in, but good value and I don't get to play sundays very often.. Cashed in one last week. Was in 2nd or 3 rd place when the bubble popped!! Led it for a whie too! but somehow got sucked into a massive hand and got crushed... FH on the flop but got beaten by a better one... which he hit on the river! Went out shortly after that just after bubble had popped - best run I've had in those Sunday Omaha games so far though... I swear I thought I was going to win it!! lol.... Another day that bloke won't get so lucky and I'd have been way ahead and might have won - lol.
GL anyway - say hi if you see me in an Omaha comp!

Wow a straight flush in ony few Hands are great- gratz for this nice "Mission"! And you can discribe this one really as a nice pokerfest at Party poker l They have a lot of nice promos in the past past and it was a good Chance to win some extra bucks to rebuild a little bankroll.

Yea - regularly see Flushes taken down by FHs.. and FHs taken down by better. There is alot of bluff/semi bluff play also. Gotta know where the fold button is though! lol.
I'm in the Sunday $20 game..... suddenly not feeling so confidant - lol.
------------ Was tempted to have another go at the Sunday $200 buy in too... lol. Will nearly bust me out though..
.... aaand I'm out of the Sunday Omaha already... FH beaten by better one. I'm in the next $2 Omaha game... screw the $200 by-in game, I'm sitting on that dosh for a bit. lol
------------ Played the $20 Hi-Lo also and crashed out quick..... Also lost a couple of £10 ones and smaller. lol. Took down 1st in a $5 Omaha game though, so pretty much back to where I started this afternoon. Can't complain about that. Gotta win one of those Sunday Omahas sometime! They are about $1K 1st place!

Nice to know that; I just finished the Pocket Pairs Mission today and started the Final Hands one. I'll play omaha to get the two finald hands. Thanks for the notice.

just finished the pairs one, bit disappointed, I was at a high point of $30 in the account, and after clearing the mission I only have $27.
That said, I do have $10 and $2 ticket mtt/sng tickets and 10T$ which I will likely grind on DoN games and I have only the straight flush one to finish, so all in all, pretty good.

Cheers yeah they like copying pokerstars but at least it is good stuffs they are copying though they still have to make some progress in their rake structure and cashout fee and so on at party poker but their freerolls are good, except when the sofware crashed on the final hand and you bust out! Anyway have fun with omaha, i like mixed games too like pot omaha where i am better than omah hi low which is complicated but can wins with low hands to break even!

Im gonna go back to the pocket pairs mission,only works on holdem tables but just a little note to you guys trying,you dont have to win with the pocket pair,you only have to have them in your starting hand so 2-2 hitting the set on the board still counts...gl on all your ventures mobsters
------------ ive been on the multitasker mission for over a week,the part i need is the play 2 tourneys everyday for 3 days,Ive done that and more,they wont update and I'm getting sick of this crap,i talked to them on live chat and they are "looking into it" anyone else having problems?

Need a straight flush myself to complete my final hands mission but in 10,000 hands at Party Poker I have only had it once and that happened when I did not realize(low one)
Pairs mission should be a bit easier hopefully but getting a $25 bonus extra is needed right now since I am only around $14 odd. Should I play more suited connectors and close suited connectors in LP if that helps speed it up?
------------ YES! Just hit that allusive straight flush. Called with 34s on the button and had a draw then on the turn had a open ended straight flush draw and checked and hit it on the river. Even had someone with a single ace go all in. Cheers PP.

Try omaha pl 0.01/0.02; just play suited conectors up to a 3 gap; the las days I got 2 straight flushs playing hands like Ah4h8cKd or something like that, Ah and 4h helped me to get the straight flush. Remember, you are playing there not to win every hand, but to get a straigh flush at the showdown, it means you have to play passive, not agressive.
