Calling all the ladies out there who are sick to death of their partners playing poker on countless occasions throughout the week and weekend!!!

I'm sorry but NO, I don't want to come watch you play yet another 5 hour game of bloody POKER! I could think of a much better way to spend my [insert day here] night!
NO! I don't want to come play POKER @ Johnno's House where you and your mates get drunk, play poker and scream at each other and I end up being the beer wench!
AND PLEASE FOR GOD'S SAKE; stop telling me how much strategy is involved in POKER... I'm sorry hun but it's a game of LUCK! Also, please don't tell me how ‘‘you couldn't believe that guy called, he only had a pair of two's and you had pocket King's, and the river card came and....'' SHUT UP!

For all of you out there, that feel what I’m saying…

Since it was a member of "team" Mistress Poker, I thought it prudent to leave the name off the FB post :D

Only the ten runners - so a PLO SNG effectively :D

Play was ... interesting ... as players attempted to adapt to the pot limit betting structure, having to manage 4 hole cards, rules etc etc. The tiny field did allow Nathan to oversee though, which was helpful for the players new to live omaha (or any omaha, for that matter).

As I'd expected though - pots grew large very quickly. Kind of counter intuitive, but when it's a NL game, people will actually bet small occasionally. Introduce them to pot limit - and there's nary a min bet to be seen :D

One of the first things I told them - if you squeeze quads: muck ;)

I missed quads three times throughout the game(by folding pre of course), all in big multi-way pots. The patience paid off late in the game, however, when an [ah ad ac] flop fell, and my [as] ended up getting paid off :D

All in all, was a fun night, and I think the players that turned up enjoyed the experience of a different discipline. (The best discipline, for mine ;))
