So tomorrow night something will occur that I have been trying to get together for many many months - even a couple of years if you look at it just right. Tomorrow night we will play Pot Limit Omaha Hi Lo 8 or Better in my garage. Even better, we will have a full table. Even best, there is a waiting list; more guys wanted to play than there were seats! The last time I tried to organize an O8 game we ended up playing 4 handed Hi-only: me, Fro, Jeff, and Jerome. My, things have changed!
This is just the beginning of what I hope will be a regular game. Once a month, I hope to have a regular PL Omaha 8 game in my garage on the first Thursday of the month. I also am hoping to start a monthly NL Holdem game on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Mrs Johnnymac initially wasn't happy about the twice-per-month poker in her garage, but I pointed out that it is actually going to be in the GARAGE (not in the house) and 100% LEGAL (as opposed to a room) and her attitude improved. Slightly. But right now everything is on. I have a new space heater for when it's cold and I have found a portable evaporative that I plan to order before it gets too warm - not to mention the new doorbell I have installed for getting people inside of the driveway gate when the garage door is down - so I think we are all set to start a new regular poker game. Or games. We'll see.
I think I have most everyone on my list already. Many guys received the first Omaha email last week. There were a few more guys who I just put onto the Holdem list because I figured they wouldn't want to play Omaha. However, if you are not on the list (and you can probably guess who you are), send me an email and I will add you to the list of potential players.
That's it for now. I will have a report on Friday morning from the first Omaha game.
