This October, the Black Belt Poker Academy returns to Vic shores with its latest instalment of poker wisdom and game-tweaking. On this occasion, players will be invited to take their PLO game into the pit stop and allow our pros to turn them into well-oiled Omaha machines.
Although Hold'em may be the game of choice for many players, Omaha is quickly increasing in popularity as players go in search of a more action-packed game. As a result, there is a lot of value in Omaha, and our mentors will be on hand to explain how you can take advantage of all that value and become a winning Omaha player.
PLO: The Action Game takes place on Saturday, October 22 and will be hosted by professional Omaha cash game pro and Bluff Europe columnist Alex Rousso. Joining Alex will be Black Belt and Omaha specialist Richard 'Chufty' Ashby.
Richard - who was recently voted Best Mixed Games Player at the 2011 British Poker Awards - is one of the game's most talented Omaha players, and boasts experience at all levels, including the nosebleeds in which he took on world-renowned players such as Tom 'durrrr' Dwan and Ilhari 'Ziigmund' Sahamies at the highest stakes available online.
In 2010, Richard proved that he was equally adept at the tournament felt when he won bracelet-gold in the $1,500 Seven-Card Stud event for $140,467 at the WSOP. Just over a week later, he added a further $378,027 for second in the $10,000 HORSE Championship event. The following year, he made two more final tables for a combined $378,027.
For the incredible price of just £99, Alex and Richard will guide you through the ins-and-outs of life at the Omaha felt, covering a wide range of topics such as tournaments, polarity and playing short-stacks. The full schedule will be as follows:
- Introduction: The Action Game
- Two PLO concepts: Domination & Duplication
- Workshop: Full-Ring Games
- Two PLO Concepts: Nuttiness & Polarity
- Workshop: Six-Max Games
- Watch the pro: Chufty
