SICK SICK game

Omaha is the sickest game going....SPEW day on 3/6 and 2/4 and just to add insult to injury SICK on laddies 0.25/0.50 !!!!!!! FFS

It's a sick game for beats. For that Omaha has no equal. Lost count of the amount of times I was counting my chippies only to have them snatched from my grabbing hands a s the miracle river thuds on to the table.

Omaha is simply not a game that tilt prone players should ever engage in.

erm who's a tilt player ?
not sure what your implying or trying to imply with that comment ?

You're completely right. It's (one of) the reason(s) I stopped playing so much poker. I now only play Om8 and yes it does completely put me on tilt when I lose, but that's fine, because I only play one game so nothing can be tilted!

Mayhap this is why I've never been a (an?) stt man.

That's a tough one m8 but I think I have to go with "a".

No doubt Bainn will be along to let us know shortly.

my vote goes with "an", as you pronounce it Es Tee Tee - the first sound is a vowel.

And yes Omaha has sick variance lol.

You may pronounce it that way but I have a feeling the correct grammar will be "a".

If I'm wrong I reserve the right to delete all my post and storm off.

it's all about the pronunciation tho, not about the spelling. If you pronounce the first sound like a vowel it's an, consonant then a.

He was an honest person - (on-ist)
There was a unicorn - (yoo-ni-kawrn)
He was a one-hit wonder - (Wuhn)

Then again m8 the correct written form is sometimes different than you would expect.

Example. "khenny is an history lecturer" would be the correct written form but we wouldn't speak it like that though.

This thread is in danger of becoming one of those endless boxes m8! Carefuls!

Hmmm, tbh i think both the written and spoken version would be "a history lecturer", the first sound is a consonant.

Could be wrong tho

Sigh.

"I was playing an STT."

or

"I was playing a Sit and Go."

Oh, and it would be -

"I visited an Hospital today."

(According to correct historical grammar.)

My statement simply meant players who tilt easily should avoid Omaha, it was not a direct comment about you Squire.

I'll take 1 correct you can have the other one Rick.

What can we do for a tied game of grammar?

An adverb shootout perhaps?

Simple, spelling contest.

I will produce sound files of particular words and you will have to spell them correctly.

hmmm... so i was right about STT... and about History.... which one are you scoring for you khenny?

Typical, I had saved up all my best adverbs and was wondering if I'd ever get a chance to use them. Collection goes back to my childhood.

The history/hospital example was used with "an" you went for "a" I believe.
