I'm going to Vegas June 22-29 to play in Event 48, the $1,500 PLO8/B. Just a few questions for the assembled masses of EVE players here:
- Anyone else going?
- Any PLO8/B pros out there who want to share a few tips? I ain't half-bad, but I'll never turn down advice.
- Anyone at CCP want to hook me up with something to show off or give away at the event? An EVE battleship model would make for a kickass card holder, and I could give a free boxed copy of the game to whoever knocks me out, or else to the ESPN announcers if I win.

I could see myself playing poker, then again I avoid Las Vegas like the plague.

Try and get on RaiNKhaN's table although I'm not sure he plays Omaha.

Pot limit Omaha something or another I take it, it's for the nerds among nerds.

My brother will be at the event a week before that. ESPN will not be broadcasting your event though. The WSOP does webcast their events though.
Do not wear or look like you are endorsing anything. If you play well, and perhaps have good posture there - look for the guys carrying backpacks and things. They are the guys that promo the websites of other places. If they talk to you, and the subject comes up for the WSOP main events, say you might be going to one, do not say no, or commit to it, but be interested in it. They may front you the cash to enter if they think you are playing well, provided you wear their clothing during the event. If you are endorsing something else, they won't waste their time.

It stands for Pot-Limit Omaha 8 or Better. It's exactly like Texas Hold'em, with the following caveats:
- You get dealt four cards instead of two.
- You must use exactly two of your cards to make your best five-card hand (whereas Texas lets you play the board, or play four cards from the board). You do not have to pick which cards you're using ahead of time, however.
- At showdown, half the pot goes to the person with the lowest hand that contains five different cards below a nine (A2345 being the best low hand).
Basically, it boils down to a lot more action on every hand, and a lot more draws (since you can be drawing to a flush, a straight, and a full house simultaneously on the flop).
