Would like every1s opinion good idea? Bad idea?

My opion is that it would cut all the rebuying and non standers out pritty sure it would cut the bingo out aswell. Plus I just think it would b a good table full of good players

Whilst it is not real money then it will always be bingo i'm afraid. Doesn't matter what the stakes. If they can afford the buy in then bingo it will be regardless.

yes blade m8 bobby pretty much nailed it on the head.
its not real so the bingo players will still on occasion go all in even on the tourny tables.
only weapon you have against it m8 is patience or call and get lucky :D

i'm sure some will play bingo on the lower buy-in tables
until getting the buy-in for high stake tables...

to get bingo-free table, i think there's a solution: more pot limit tables.
there's currently only one in hold'em,
and oddly enough, none in omaha which
is supposed to be played pot-limit and after the flop...

NL Omaha tables on this site have turned even more bingo
than turbo tables 4 & 5...

The trouble with a high stakes table is that it will put out of kilter the comparison of people's chip balance, even more, than at present ... some people will play a lot of good stuff on the regular tables, but, the players that play the turbo tables and the 10k trourney that will be on the leaderboard.

So, when someone says "I've got 2 million in chips" ... it will become meaningless if there is a super-duper stakes table.

I think the tables are nicely balanced just now - at most a 15k tourney, maybe?

i agree. Omaha became bingo. It´s not fun at all.

batankyu2, I agree; a pot limit omaha table would be nice. Right now omaha is a bingo player's moist dream.

It won't happen any way but blinds for a 3k table would be $15 sb $30 bb

Why do you want an Omaha pot limit table? I think its useless. 10 players 800 pre flop, and the pot will be set at 8K for the next bet. Let 5 player bet 2k player preflop, and the pot is set at a minimum of 10K!!! Whats the point here? Will not change anything if this table will be changed in a pot limit.

How about, let play the all in players at the Omaha1 turbo table, and let enjoy the players, who dont want thins kind of game on Omaha 2? In my eyes, thats a better deal.

A lot of players on Omaha 2 leave the table, when the BINGO starts. Because they dont want it. I am the one who tries to defend the Omaha 2 table, when it starts. But, I can only try to get them to join Omaha 1. If not, the result will be 38 pre flop, what we actually dont want either. There is no rule to forbid the all in preflop, and we are all aware of it.

I am sure as well, that one day, someone will complain about my/our moaning. But, please, just try to understand our poin of view.

In any casino which offers Omaha, offers pot-limit only...if it's high-low split. No-limit is for straight up Omaha. It's the way you are supposed to play the fine game.

Here's the thing -it's completely a post flop game, and was never intended to be otherwise.

Though, the way it's played here, as Froggy mentioned, we don't really have any other recourse but to leave it as it is.

This site is a great mix of tables and player styles. What we don't want, I can assure you, is raising stakes and lifting limits. We need to cater for all and that includes Omaha.

Lets keep Omaha2 to a low bet pre flop table. It will cater for all rather than just the chip eaters. Restricting the pre flop bet (as froggy suggests) would be a great idea.

I agree you lot are right but when I get a chance to play on this wonderfull site 80% of the time there is no 1 on the omaha2 table and the Omaha tournys are pritty empty aswell so off to omaha1 I go and to b honest I get bored after about 10 hands and get more involved with the banter more than the cards

I really like the concept of the 2 omaha tables being distinctly different - I wouldn't go to omaha2 and play bingo - anything to restrict the omaha2 to ensure that players see the flop more cheaply is a great idea - even making it one raise pre-flop maybe?

... but on the other hand ... when players go to a turbo table and complain about hard and fast "bingo" play - it annoys me too. Its like going for a night out in a pub and complaining that people are getting drunk.

vive la différence I say ... and Idon't even speak french!! lol.
