CPT13: Omaha All Over Again


Omaha All Over Again

See CPT-S2.pdf and CPT12.pdf for chip distributions, blind structures, prizes, and other details.


In true H.O.R.S.E. fashion, let's play some Fixed Limit Omaha-8!

After the usual T1500 No Limit Texas Hold'em tournament, we'll play Omaha again... but Fixed Limit (rather than Pot Limit) this time. For rules, it's recommended you revisit CPT8. It's "LO8", so the pot gets split between the best high hand and best low hand, with an 8-high prerequisite. That means, if there are 3 cards on the board that are 9's and up, then no one can qualify for the low hand, and the entire pot is awarded to the high-hand winner. As for betting, the bet size is fixed to the big blind both pre-flop and post-flop, and doubles for the turn and river, just like in Fixed Limit Hold'em.

Hope to see everyone at CPT13.


Eights are WILD!

No, not in the poker game... but I just wanted to remind you that if we get exactly 8 or 16 players showing up to CPT13, the No Limit Hold'em tournament will be superseded by "CPT - Heads Up"!


About CPT Season 2:

Welcome to Season 2 of the Chem Poker Tour! I hope you're ready for some serious poker...

Despite popular belief, No Limit Texas Hold'em isn't the only poker game out there. This season, emphasis will be on other games. But not to worry: Due to it's popularity, each month's event will start with a T1500 No Limit Hold'em tournament. What's new is that, for those who are interested in playing late, each month's CPT event will include a second tournament that features a different component of H.O.R.S.E. Traditionally, a H.O.R.S.E. tournament includes alternating rounds of:

  • Hold'em
  • Omaha High/Low 8-or-better Split
  • Razz (i.e. 7-card Stud LOW)
  • Stud (i.e. 7-card Stud HIGH)
  • stud Eight (i.e. 7-card Stud High/Low 8-or-better Split)

with each game played LIMIT. The season will culminate in a full-out "H.O.R.S.E. Tournament of Champions" to be held in June or July after 6 regular Thursday night CPT events, so if you expect to qualify, it's probably in your best interests to practice each month.

As usual, the buy-in for each tournament is $10, so bring extra $$ if you plan to play in both the No Limit Hold'em and "feature" tournaments. Also, last season the concesus was to have re-buys available until the first break, so we'll probably stick with that policy this season as well. As always, ALL tournaments count in the season (and career) stats!

Don't forget to check out last season's stats, photo gallery, and more at the official CPT web site. As always, photos and results will be updated no later than the weekend after each CPT event.
