Tourney Something Other Than a NLHE Tourney Please! (1 Viewer)

[detroitdad]

I'm hosting a 12 player Birthday Party Poker game in a few weeks. I figure this is a great time to break in my 43 mm Parks and Rec tourney set and the Treat Yo Self chips.

I'm leaning towards one of these games.

SOHE

Big O

or my favorite

5 card PLO with one Treat Yo Self chip. The Treat Yo Self chip has a one time use to call a double board PLO hand. The chip must be played prior to anyone looking at their cards (so basically pre deal).

This will be a $40.00 tourney, I'll probably go with 150 to 200 bb's.

I'm also up to any other suggestions?

 

[Saoliver]

HORSE or some other lineup of mixed games that you like.

HORSE is best played FL. FL tourneys bore the shit out of me.

I would contemplate a r x r tourney.

We have played live cash games of NLHE and PLO rotations. You could do pot-limit rotation of Big-O and some form of Pineapple. Still better than NLHE.

Pineapple

Worse than NLHE lol. I'm know, I'm high maintenance lol

 

[detroitdad]

Tagging some of the guys who may be playing in it.

I know sorry. Not an Omaha fan, and I don't even know what horse is

 

[FordPickup92]

Thermonuclear armageddon pineapple?

 

[FordPickup92]

Or just play an 8 hour tournament of the @Lil Tuna Bingo

 

[tabletalker7]

12 people + 4 tables = OFC TOURNEY

 

[shorticus]

NLHE

12 people + 4 tables = OFC TOURNEY

NLHE

Block list

Maybe it was a little harsh putting on the block list with Brandon. He definitely should know better lol

 

[Marc Hedrick]

It's your birthday, so you should do what you want! Which, sounds like 5 Card PLO. I would suggest rebuys for that game!

 

[ekricket]

No Limit Two Card Draw Omaha 8 with an Ocean and Shuck For a Buck option

 

[Mojo1312]

[Beakertwang]

PLHE?

 

[k9dr]

Circus tourney obviously:

God’s game
Scrotum 8
SOHE
Draw2maha

 

[Natskule]

My favorites are SOHE and PLO-8. But for a tournament I don't like split pot games.

My next tournament, we are doing mixed hold 'em games, trying to get better hands each game/round, but using a standard flop, turn, river each game.

Hold 'em

Pineapple
Crazy Pineapple
Upside-Down Pineapple
Very Crazy Pineapple
Lazy Pineapple
Super Hold'em

Watermellon
Ludicrous Pineapple

Thermonuclear Armageddon Pineapple
Scrotum

3-Hand Hold'em

I like your 5 card plo idea. Too many mixed games in a tournament would turn into a clusterf$&k imo. I think I’m going to make this because I have to take my wife to the airport that morning. Pencil me in please!

 

[detroitdad]

Pencil me in please!

I already did What time do you have to take her to the Airport?

 

[pokerplayingpisces]

This was a success, when I tried it;

You could always replace Hold’em with Pineapple, 3 hand Hold’em, or something else.

All games were played limit using this structure;

Hope you have a great B-day, and post a lot of stack pics!!

I just remember playing a mixed game tourney with Bill in Denver.

Too many games is a bad idea, as Bill and I couldn't remember game we were playing - but we played it all the way to the river.

Beyond that, in tourney action I would recommend against split pot games. They are dreadfully boring when the tourney gets heads up.

Scrotum.....we forgot to discard pre. The board didn't matter lol

I bet all streets with a pair of 10s, you called me down with a pair of 9s.

Pure MasterClass level play.

We laughed pretty hard about it. That's a win in my book. Plus I took down the tourney to get almost even on the trip!
