woody what are the rules for how often the game type changes?

I've never played this before but see when looking it up that there are variations between either changing every hand or at a predterminned amount of time.

I guess i should learn to play S O and E if I want to have any chance at this! i've only ever played high low once by mistake!

We are having one tournament a week Franco, here is the breakdown:

1st week - Seven Card Stud

2nd week - Fixed Limit Hold'em

3rd week - Omaha Hi Pot Limit

4th week - Omaha Hi Lo

We would have organised a more traditional SHOE tournament but Ladbrokes don't allow for a proper SHOE tourney where the game format changes after each hand, so we decided to have a format where the game changes every week...it's the closest we could get to the real thing!

Come and support this worthy cause for this not to be missed annual event Win

Always good to get off the mark after the first comp! Laughing

Well done Sheddy top class performance matey 1st

I feel i need to raise a point on the scoring system. I wasnt here last year and dont know how you worked it. Giving the finishers points and extra points for the top three seem a good way to mark gven this is a 4 game event. My concern is if 15-20 people turn up for the holdem or omaha games the winners will end up with alot more points the winner of the 7-stud has recieved.

Take my point away and mark the top ten for all events is my thought.

Just a though, but your the boss, your decision is cool wit me Smile
