SOHE (2 Viewers)

It's the only time I've ever been a legitimate World Champion of anything, so yeah.

It would require some travel, but I think you could be a contender in other events.

 

[bergs]

Is this the only thing you guys have ever come close to winning in your lives?

What else is there? What could YOU have possibly ever have done that could even begin to approach the shimmering glow of glory that accompanies a SOHE World Champion?

God, so many fish ITT. Suspicious timing. Jim publishes so all you guys will be playing ABC SOHE by the book while he cleans up with vol. II strat.

Hwat in tarnation.

In order to break the meta we must first establish it.

I'm already vol. III

I got divorced from my first wife. Until you've done that, and felt the blessed kiss of freedom, you have experienced nothing.

Okay, I bit the bullet. Even though there's no way in hell I'm ever going to get the guys who play up here to try it, I'll need to stay on top of things if I ever manage to get back to the BBoTB ...

Is it weird that I feel a little dirty about contributing to the collection of taxes?

SOHE PLAYERS: This is clearly going to be a split pot.

Received my copy. My wife has requested that the 2016 personally sign it. Let's cross our fingers

Finished my first read through. Will definitely be calling SOHE at the next dealer's choice game. My favorite chapter was "The Turn". I found the classification of the remaining cards in the deck to raise some interesting points. I found the idea that the action is centered around the turn interesting- obviously a bit different than the constituent games. The preflop discussion is great as well, especially for someone that has yet to play SOHE.

I was never married to your wife, so it's tough for me to approximate that same feeling.

I'll ask it this way - do you have a trophy of a skunk wearing lipstick?

Yeah, I didn't fucking think so.

It may be rachel 0. She won a skunk, but I think she lost it in a move.

Is there a chapter on Lazy SOHE (set hands after the river)? Seems like it should be easy, but au contraire.

 

[bergs]

My book will drop in July.

"Stick It In My Bum Bum - how to win and propser at Hi/Lo Draw Tahoe".

Jim - my people are possibly approaching your people about establishing a consortium of unrivaled published poker material.

Jose - I need a picture of you for the book. Don't ask any questions, just give me fucking permission, OK? It

It may be rachel 0. She won a skunk, but I think she lost it in a move.

You never really lose a skunk. You can lose a WSOP bracelet but you're still a world fucking champion.

Lazy SOHE has a pamphlet. Incidentally, it's also the same pamphlet that the casinos have to hand out by law that helps you if you have a massive gambling problem and need assistance.

INTERVENTION TIME

Look, I hate doing this publicly, but me, Courage, Guinness, and Butler have all been talking about how hard it was for Harley to readjust to society after he won that 6 man $25 sit-n-go in Maine. He was on cloud 9 for a couple weeks but the next couple years were rough, and he hit rock bottom when Courage and I went over to pick him up before DCS 5 and Harley was eating week old tacos and farting while quietly laughing to himself in a dark room. He was grading each of them and calling them names. "7/10 Jack The Ripper".

It was sad and we were scared for him but with some TLC, and via painting a picture of the Maine tourney being some sort of actual event, we got him through it.

Now we have Chippy and this SOHE thing. It's a $7.50 trophy and most of us try to go out the first round to get back to the cash game. The buyin is like $40. But he luck boxed it last year and now we're all really worried that if he doesn't win this year, his carefully crafted reality will come crashing down around him, ripping his self confidence and psyche asunder and leaving him but a shell of a man.

I don't know what to do. I'm honestly looking for advice and help here.

Chippy - we're worried about you, buddy.

I good with Chippy crash landing.....

 

[Ronoh]

If you guys have an open seat I'd be willing to buy in to the tourney and pot every time action is on me until my unmanned stack busts or binks. I wanna be a World Champion.

For added fun you can make Chippy bring me my skunk to Atlanta next month.

I'm more worried for you guys if I go back to back.

Lazy SOHE gets a brief mention in the appendices but no real strategy information.

Let me put it this way: My first wife modeled for that trophy.

I can probably get a local willing to sit in a chair and do this for you.

How do you want to split your cards? First 2 for holdem last 4 for Omaha?

And do you have a card capper preference?

Jumped the gun a bit there, visions of becoming a World Champion caused me to forget about the act of splitting when I posted that. Random splitting would be a bit much... I don't mind giving money away but I do frown at throwing it away

Being that my split would only need to be known if the hand reaches showdown, and being that I will be at home watching basketball during the festivities, if your local would be open to texting me my cards I can pretty much guarantee a response before the end of each hand. If that works or if anyone has another idea of an acceptable way of splitting count me in. I'll have to bow out otherwise.

You missed the epic hand of Lazy SOHE at WCB-VI.
