You're quite right @Merenitsu there is some controversy 😃 @Stubbe-Unibet Whilst technically AAA66 is a bigger hand than JJJ99, and not wanting to take anything away from @OmNomNom , I'm not sure having 66 on an AAA board even counts as a bad beat, given that sevens, eights, nines . . . etc. also beat you. However, having JJXX v 99XX on a J79-2-9 board. Now that is a bad beat. Even in Omaha. right, toys well and truly outside of pram, thank you and goodnight :waterfall: 😏

Was about to post this in the Bad beats thread but then I realised that's only for UOS tournaments🤣. Would have been nice if a beat from the community masters had won it.

Admittedly it's Omaha, but it was for a top five stack with 23/304 players left

Thank you!

Any news on this week's tournament?

Hi Leo, Have PMed you as I'm not 100% sure which one's my alias!

It's surely a mistake which will be corrected. But of course Unibet will reward us for pointing out the error and saving them about 2k or so, right?🆒

Hi guys, I'm thinking whoever populated the client with the numbers for the upcoming UOS got them slightly wrong for E78. It says it's a "mid" stakes tourney, but the buy in is set to €10. I'm guessing it should be a €25? In any case, the guarantee is set to €6000 which for a €10 buy in might be a bit of an overlay, although I'm ever hopeful we might get 600 runners for an Omaha tournament one day 😃

Well, it kind of cuts both ways. While you'll never get 80/20s preflop in Omaha, by the same token (and especially with the pot limit aspect) you can call wider preflop even if you're short stacked, and use your edge in tandem with position to make a difference. So if anything the equivalent of the shove/fold stage of a holdem tournament is more interesting at PLO.

Just want to comment on the tournament structure for the PLOs in the Summer Circuit. There are two of these tournaments (EUR25) and they're both using the "Sputnik" structure - i.e. blind levels start at 3 mins long, then 6, then increase, etc. This structure is fine for a rebuy - especially when there's a double stack add-on as there are on Unibet's site, but for a freezeout it's too restrictive. Omaha is a game that benefits from deep stacks, because the hand values are so close together - i.e. you need to take risks. Sure, all tournaments end up being relatively short stacked, but the principle, I think, should be that at the beginning, there's at least some time to play deep. With the Sputnik structure, a starting stack on 50 BB within the first 20 mins - that's barely two rounds of hands. For a "Premium" tournament (Unibet doesn't regularly run a PLO higher than 10EUR rebuy), that's a little bit too short IMO. Maybe try 10k chips with Sputnik structure or 6k chips with the regular 8 mins levels?

hello? level 6 is about to end and I still have a ticket left which I cannot use

I can't use my second ticket in the EBC freeroll. No option to rebuy/addon/start with a stack of 2000. What's going on? What am I missing here?

Ditto me - I mean, I got it, but when I tried to register, it was full. Run another one of the same (for unused tickets) tomorrow pls?
