Although my last 2 series ALT series and The Four series were a decent success I feel like the time between each tournament was too much. The Little Mikey tournaments by @Mikey were a big success and ran frequently so I have learn 't from that. That is the reason for beginning the Golden tournaments, once the littler Mikey tournament is done theres a big 5-8 hour gap untill the next tournament. So I am going to host a freeroll in the middle to fill the time.

Goldhunter's tip for PLO/PLH
The greatest consideration for "Pot limit" games is POT CONTROL and 3+ handed "hand selections".
Pot control is when you choose to not bet because you feel the EV (expected value) of you hand may significantly decrease if a tricky card comes on the turn/river, also checking behind 2nd pair and potential re-draws can reduce suck-out ratios. Because the game is limited to the size of the pot this enables you to know from the flop the maximum you have to call for a showdown even if you run into some idiot calling with 32 off pre-flop or chasing runner runners. Use the pot control and it will help you to reduce idiots out to be clever on one time wins(chasing from a losing point to win).
3+ handed selections, well this really is golden information so I'm not going to tell you but simply leave you with room for thought. Would you consider a K or Q high flush draw 4 handed valuable (PLO)? Is there much value in 56j9 double suited if the suited is as likely to get you in trouble? This is a powerful hand HU but not 3+. The more people that are in the hand in PLO the more value (and risk) you will have.
PS. These are test run tournaments, those who I feel try to play well rather than gamble get lucky and play dice will gain entry to my next series which will have next high prize pools and will require a ticket for entry, GL!
