Though the emphasis in online poker is generally on No Limit Texas Hold'em, fans of Pot Limit Omaha can rejoice this December with the MO MO MO PLO promotion running at ACR Poker and other rooms on the Winning Poker Network. Set to begin Dec. 3 and continue on through Dec. 17, MO MO MO PLO consists of tournaments, a reload bonus, and cash game happy hours.
As part of the festivities, ACR Poker is hosting 101 four card poker tournaments with total guarantees of over $1.1 million. This number may seem relatively modest, and it is certainly a humble amount when compared with some of ACR's more prominent series, like the Online Super Series. However, such large MTT series are rare in the world of Omaha poker, so this should come as a welcome treat to fans of PLO.
There are two Main Events in MO MO MO PLO, and they're both multi-flight affairs. This means that you can enter any one of the 82 separate Day 1 flights scheduled from Dec. 3 to Dec. 17. All surviving participants then gather together on Sunday, Dec. 17 at 1:30 p.m. ET to play out the second day of the tournament.
The two tournament buyins are denominated at $55 for momomoPLO #1 and $11 for momomoPLO #2. The guarantees attached to these tournaments are $200,000 and $50,000 respectively. Both of these Main Events feature mystery bounties, which means that all individuals who make it to Day 2 will have a bounty placed on their heads, but the value of each bounty varies and isn't known until that player is knocked out.
Besides the two Main Events, there are 99 other tourneys in the series. The buyins range from $1.10 to $630, giving players of different bankroll statuses the ability to enter events appropriate for their comfort level. Most events are normal four card Pot Limit Omaha, but these other related formats are present too:
There aren't any Limit Omaha events either for hi-only or hi-lo. All tournaments have six-seat tables. More than half of the events are progressive knockouts whereby each knockout results in a bounty payment to the eliminating player as well as an increase of the bounty on that player's head.
With more than a hundred MTTs on the roster, even the most committed PLO enthusiast might find it hard to partake in every single one. Therefore, we have identified some of the most interesting entries on the schedule and have highlighted them below for your information:
Wednesday, Dec. 6, 4:30 p.m. ET; $215 buyin; momomoPLO #27 PKO 5 Card; $20,000 GTD
Devotees of the increasingly popular 5 Card PLO variant will get their fill of action in this event. With the progressive bounties in operation, there's an even greater incentive than normal to go to showdown, so we should see a lot of all-ins and multi-way pots here.
Sunday, Dec. 10, 5:05 p.m. ET; $630 buyin; momomoPLO #51 PKO; $50,000 GTD
The $50,000 guarantee here should be enough to get anyone's heart pumping. As the largest PLO hi-only event on the schedule (aside from main events), this one should certainly appeal to those who love four card poker and love big cash prizes just as much.
Sunday, Dec. 17, 5:05 p.m. ET; $630 buyin; momomoPLO8 #95 PKO; $60,000 GTD
With the largest guarantee of the series (apart from main events), split pot action, and a progressive knockout format, there are many ways of collecting cash in this tournaments whether through bounties, scooping high and low, or winning your share of split pots.
Boost your bankroll with an ACR reload bonus of 50% up to $2,500. Use ACR Poker bonus code MOBONUS on your next deposit from Dec. 3 to 17 to score the reload. Only deposits of $25 or more qualify.
You have 30 days to release your bonus at a rate of $5 per 120 Award Points earned. You earn 5.5 APs per dollar paid in rake or tournament fees, so you must rake $21.82 to earn every $5 bonus segment: a rakeback equivalent of approximately 23%.
Only Omaha tournaments played through Dec. 17 and PLO cash games (even past Dec. 17) count toward clearing the bonus.
The hours of 6 a.m. – 8 a.m. ET and 10 p.m. – midnight ET between Dec. 3 and 17 are designated Omaha Happy Hours. This means you'll earn double points during these timeframes.
Your MO Bonus will therefore clear twice as fast in qualifying games if you elect to play during Happy Hours. Thus, your effective rakeback will exceed 45% as long as you play during these times.
Of course, only those with a valid Winning Poker Network account will be able to take advantage of the MO MO MO PLO promotions. We recommend ACR Poker as the flagship site on the network. When you join up with our special ACR Poker promo code PRB10FREE, you can get a no deposit bonus of $10 followed by 100% up to $2,000 on your first deposit.
