Norwegian Championship - Games you'd like to see!!

[JP Poker]

Hi Guys,

I'm doing the tournament schedule for the Norwegian Championships for this coming March.

As always there will be some events which are for Norwegians only...
€2,000 HORSE
€1,500 NLH Heads-Up
€800 NLH Main Event
€800 PLO Triple Chance
€500 Limit Hold'em 6-Max
€300 NLH Ladies Event

The events that were open to everyone this year were...
€2,000 NLH 8-Max Higher Roller (Was lowered from €5,000)
€750 JP Poker Masters
€500 NLH 8-Max
€500 PLO Heads-Up
€300 NLH
€300 NLH 6-Max
€300 PLO 6-Max
€300 PLO Hi/Low
€300 Mixed 8 Game
€250 NLH Heads-Up
€250 NLH (€100 Bounty)
€150 NLH 6-Max
€150 NLH Shoot-Out
€150 NLH "Win the Button"
€150 NLH "Rivers"
€150 Super Hold'em (3 Card Holdem) This was cancelled due to lack of space
€150 ROE 6-Max
€120 NLH (€50 Rebuys)

In addition to the above we had two daily €80 NLH Turbos which were really popular.

I have a few idea's for games which I'm thinking about putting into the schedule...

Paradise Pick'em

Any mixed game player has cursed their luck looking down at rolled up Kings in Razz, or heard the player next to them complain "If this was XXXX instead, I'd have the nuts!!!".

Paradise Pick'em looks to solve that problem.

The structure of this tournament would be that of a limit H.O.R.S.E tournament.

Each player is dealt 3 cards. The player on the button looks at their 3 cards and decides whether this hand will be played as Hold'em, Omaha 8 or Better, Razz, 7 card Stud, or 7 card Stud H/L.

If they pick Hold'em each player must discard 1 card.

If they pick Omaha 8 or Better each player is dealt 1 more card.

If they pick Razz, Stud, or Stud H/L each player must expose a card of their choice (starting with the player to the left of the button) as their "door:".

The hand then plays out as it would in the game of choice, with blinds being posted or antes/bring ins being paid. After the hand the button moves to the left as usual.

This game adds a ton of strategic layers to the mixed game format.

6-Max Pot Limit Sviten Special

The game is a cross between 5-card draw and Omaha, the pot being split between the best 5 Card Draw hand and the best Omaha hand.
It is played with a dealer button and blinds.

1) Five cards are dealt to each player.
2) First round of betting.
3) The dealer then burns one card and deals a three-card flop.
4) Second round of betting.
5) After the second betting round, each player can discard any number of cards and receives an equal number of replacement cards from the dealer, as in five card draw.
6) Turn card and a third round of betting.
7) Finally the river and a fourth round of betting.

At showdown the pot is split between the best 5 card draw hand and the best Omaha hand.

Drop the limit holdem. Ugh.

Otherwise looks like a cracking schedule.

Limit Hold'em is a Norwegian Championship Event for Norwegians only
