would anyone else be interested in us having a omaha hi only table installed. i love hi lo dont get me wrong but hi takes a lot more strategy and it HOPEFULLY will stop the all in pre flop EVERY hand as it appears to be. please feel free to post your comments and hopefully emil we see then and something can be sorted

I am all for a Hi only table m8... Hi/low is pretty much a lottery most of the time anyway with the allins... Omaha is predominantly a post flop game, and even a hi only turbo table would ensure people played properly or lost a huge amount of chips very quickly.....
A secondary benefit of a hi only table could be for the league... Hi only omaha would lend itself far more to a team format than the hi/low we have now that so many hate.....

good idea , got my vote

dont forget to add pot limit.

Well, we had it already. Table was always empty. Thats why we changed it again to omaha hi/lo.

But, go on and post your thoughts...

Froggy

12k is always empty too if you think about it.

I'd love an omaha hi table.
I think the last omaha hi table was only there for a couple days, a bit more time and it may become very popular as its a brilliant game.

Dont even need A hi table to be pot limit, even a turbo table would work.. Omaha is a post flop game... anyone keep going all in on a hi table would lose a huge amount of chips very quickly..

i used to love playing omaha hi, yes you have a point it was always nealry empty but people get fed up of all in every hand and on hi only more skill will be needed.

me too m8... and anyone really wanting to learn how to play omaha should do it on a Hi only table.. much more skillful game....

Just when I've got to grips with the low thingy you wana change it lol.

got my vote

mine too

Just put your hi magic pants on, piggy ...

got my vote hun :) cant understand the lo's anyway lol xx

nice pj's piglet lol :=) xx

I don't know why Dev but I have a feeling that some will go all in anyways. As they say, once a Bingo player, ALWAYS a bingo player. But having said that, I wouldn't mind trying Omahahahaha Hi (no Lo).

lol swamps.. I dont care if they do play bingo on omaha hi table.. the bingo players wont last long m8

u mean tourney table or ring game ?

ring game m8

I just dont get what you mean deville when you say bingo players wont last long. I mean what will be the difference from turbo texas and turbo omaha hi. I mean unless their is like a 10,000 buy in on the ring game thats the only way your theory of they wont last long will apply because they will be constanly losing 10k from their account. Other wise it will be same type of players with just a change in format. I would want to play omaha hi though over omaha turbo because omaha turbo no limit is not a offical poker game.

I think various scales of buyins is the only thing that might stop bingo here.

I don't understand why there are various scale of buyin for tourney
but only a "one size fits all" for ring games with so many tables
with the consequience that half of them are plagued by bingo.

Well...

With a high/low split, you have people quartering, splitting -and often don't know "AA from 7.2os" in terms of a good Omaha hand, so they go there to make money for the tourney tables.

"Step right up, everybody is a winner!"


Yeah...what is wrong there, is that it's never no limit if it's High/Low Omaha. I've been a broken record about it since the table showed up, because this place is teaching a poker game which is useless if you ever would like to learn to play something in real life.

Then we put it in the league...lol.

For me, it's like randomly deciding pawns can move backwards in Chess because people decided it would be fun. It ain't Chess anymore, but rather a mutation; if you will.

You know, when we put in just a "High Omaha table" -it wasn't played in the league yet, and Omaha High/Low no limit attracted the same people...while most just avoided it.

That all changed when the League started and people began to play it.

Therefore:
I do think an Omaha High no limit table, would attract many people now, as there are no splits...and this game is specifically designed to be played no limit.

But you want to look at how to play it properly...?
It's a post flop game...and going allin pre-flop is just playing keno and hoping to hit. It would kill you in real life....big time. It's like being a donk Omaha player to any pro...and people get shunned for doing that at a real life table.

It can be if you want it to, Dani...

Yeah if no limit hi low were replaced with omaha hi no limit, I think I and a lot others would change their mind about having omaha in the league. That might solve the format problem faster. Come to think of it have I ever played omaha hno limiti before lol, I dont think so.

huh ?

lol, I meant if omaha hi-low no limit were replaced with omaha hi no limit it might influence others to want to keep omaha in the league.

I've thought that all along...myself.
I've never seen so many people try to play something they just thoroughly do not understand.

High Omaha, is way easier to know what hands to hold onto...and your decent hand holds up better, in lieu of quartering with a straight vs a a couple of measly pairs; with a low.

People are less likely to just close their eyes and hope they hit...lol.
