Starting Omaha
Hey Guys, I am just starting to play Omaha i have $1000 on fulltilt and it will be used to start playing PLO10 and work my way up as well as playing a few tournies from time to time. I have Holdem Manager Omaha to track my progress, I also get rakeback on FTP Do you think its worth starting at PLO10 or is it just a crab shoot any maybe start at PLO25 and move down if my roll falls below say $500. I have basic knowledge of PLO but really want to learn the game and get into bankroll management as the swings can be crazy. Any advice for starting out this journey ' Cheers

its real why dont you check out / This wrote by the COO Hand #1162170993 Saturday, December 20, 2008 - COO Earlier today we learned about a poker hand where our system paid out the losing player instead of the correct winning hand. The hand number is #1162170993. We are investigating this software malfunction as our absolute top priority. This is the first incident of this kind we have encountered. We are currently examining the poker system and the application logs in order to pinpoint the cause of this malfunction. Paul Leggett Hrmmmm not real hey!'!'!'!'

Re:UB GLITCH/ HELLMUTH WINS $ 5000 PLUS POT WITH WORST HAND
This is UB I created the thread on 2+2 about 23 hours ago at the same time emailing UB support notifying them of what happened and the hand history. Still no email reply from them to acknowledge anything about this pretty poor considering the nature of the 'flaw' Its not that hard to reply *Thank you for brining this to our attention' yada yada

Was hoping for some deep stack live tourney help
Hi guys I am playing in my first big event the starting stacks are 20k with 1 hour blind levels blinds start at 25/50. I have never played in an event with this type of structure with blinds increasing slowly and a massive chip stack to start with. I was hoping for some advice or pointers in how i should play this event different to a standard tourney where you may start with 1500 or 3000. Any advice would be greatly appreciated Thanks :)
