anyone like this game?

I used to play it a fair bit, but it's a difficult game to master. It's mostly the split pots that I've come to dislike. When you have the absolute nuts in terms of a high hand there's just no shaking the guys sitting there with A2 who are going to take half the pot with no effort whatsoever. in fact, often there are two of them who are going to spit the low half of he pot. If it's a cash game everybody loses because of the rake. You literally lose money playing quads or a straight flush.

I enjoy PLO8.

It is a a good bankroll builder as the swings are smaller and the skill advantage is high as it is a post flop game as is all PLO.

Poker is about your Villains making mistakes- the more streets they have to play the more mistakes they can make.

Hand selection preflop is necessary but understanding your villains ranges post flop is a stronger skill.

If you have any questions about the game let me know. I am no expert just a life long learner.

Hope this helps

I find it a bit confusing.

i love omaha hi / lo

#6 November 30th, 2020, 11:38 PM

Love playing all the different Omaha games such as HI/Lo , 7 stud , and lately really enjoy the "bomb Pot games on ACR

would like to see any version of Omaha played in a CC freeroll once in a while instead of them always being Holdem -- Just my thought

GL ALL How do you like omaha hi/lo??

#7 December 1st, 2020, 12:59 AM

It's my all time favorite game. It's much better to play tournaments because when you play cash games and you split a pot heads up, you just lost money on the rake. In a home game it's great because you don't have that as a problem.

#8 December 1st, 2020, 1:50 AM

mee , i play most time omaha hi/lo How do you like omaha hi/lo??

and i have a decent profit at this game

#9 December 1st, 2020, 10:10 AM

Play it just as a break from Holdem. Just recreationally tho. I�m basically a one-trick pony I guess(Texas Holdem only). Lol

Stay Safe

#10 December 1st, 2020, 5:00 PM

too complicated rules of the game, to predict the outcome of the distribution

#11 December 1st, 2020, 5:16 PM

I like very much Omaha hi/lo.

When i play on ACR, I will always go to the Bomb sides and play a few hands there.

#12 December 2nd, 2020, 1:53 AM

I like it way far more than PLO , but generally both of them I play only for fun in freerolls or in micro cash games ZOOM the PLO . I want to try PLO8 for tourney , on tourney I have tried PLO , also on sng MTT kind of , but I will do it for fun not for absolut profit .

#13 December 5th, 2020, 5:15 PM

I played in mixed games table with stud and stud hi/low and triple draw Not my favorite game it’s a interesting game. I prefer stud hi /low as I can see if the other player is going for low or high It’s my least favorite of the mixed games. I’ll sit out with

#14 December 5th, 2020, 6:39 PM

Not really. I'm a no limit guy. and also don't like splitting pots.

#15 December 5th, 2020, 10:52 PM

Start off playing Razz just understand the order of rank hands. Makes Omaha hi lo easier to play

#16 December 5th, 2020, 11:26 PM

Yes, I like the game a lot.

#17 December 5th, 2020, 11:41 PM

not at all

#18 December 6th, 2020, 12:02 AM

I don't like it ..it sucks

#19 December 6th, 2020, 12:09 AM

I learned to play Omaha first than holdem, I love playing it

#20 December 6th, 2020, 1:58 AM

I never tried to play Omaha online. I'm having a hard time to figure out Texas Holdem, imagine Omaha H/L.

#21 December 6th, 2020, 4:19 AM

I think this is just a less dispersed version of Omaha ( due to the division of banks) and more dynamic due to the fact that more cards are given by NATs! But I'm still not a fan of Omaha!

#22 December 6th, 2020, 5:07 AM

I like to play any modality but I play much more holdem.omaha hi / lo is an interesting modality in general omaha if you understand it you can win very easily

#23 December 6th, 2020, 7:46 PM

I like Omaha Hi-Lo even when I don't play it so often.

It's a really interesting format and learned a bit of it by watching Twitch Streams, specially TalonChick (Adrienne Carter)

#25 December 6th, 2020, 8:08 PM

Ive tried numerous times to get into it. I just find myself playing the low hands all the time.

#26 December 6th, 2020, 11:19 PM

I am enjoying it a lot. After Holdem that is my second favorite game of poker. PLO8 is giving you a lot of chances to win in every single hand and there your mind must be very careful, because there are huge combinations and huge variations of winning/splitting the hand and that makes the game more attractive.

#27 December 7th, 2020, 12:22 PM

I play it sometimes,just to play something different rather than Hold'em all the time,but there aren't many Omaha tournaments and it's too bad that there aren't any Omaha CardsChat freerolls.

#28 December 7th, 2020, 12:43 PM

Omaha is not my favorite game, but I prefer PLO8 to PLO.

#29 December 8th, 2020, 12:28 PM

I like PLO-8 just fine, but it never lasts very long at live venues because it destroys the fish very fast. At many on-line sites, same problem: fish bust out quickly, and so there aren't many left wiling to take a chance.

#30 December 8th, 2020, 1:55 PM

I like both HI / Lo and 7 stud. Sometimes I win, sometimes, no. But I play these games only in the ladies' club CardsChat, so I just have a rest, for the soul. How do you like omaha hi/lo??

#31 January 13th, 2021, 11:12 PM

Have played it a bit but generally only as part of a HORSE game. Prefer it over regular omaha.

#32 January 14th, 2021, 12:39 AM

I have play omaha hi/lo but I don't like it much.

#33 January 14th, 2021, 1:43 PM

I actually prefer it. I'm not crazy about PLO though. I find it somewhat confusing. It's easier to know I can go hi or low. I feel like my odds are much better.

#34 January 14th, 2021, 1:51 PM

I like to play regular Omaha Hold'em, but I don't like Omaha Hi / Lo !!!

#35 January 14th, 2021, 1:57 PM

I played a couple of times, but now I do not play) it is difficult for me, it is best to play Omaha or Hold'em

#36 January 14th, 2021, 4:59 PM

I don't really like this game, hold'em is much more interesting for me

#37 January 15th, 2021, 2:04 AM

I like it, I think its more laid back,

#38 January 15th, 2021, 2:19 AM

It's my favorite game. Much better when you play it in a tournament. That way your not losing money on the rake when you split a big pot heads ups.

#39 January 15th, 2021, 8:35 AM

No Don’t like this game.
Play horse and this is my least favorite
I prefer Stud hi-lo to this
I play for high most of the time as low doesn’t come all the time.
Fish will chase the low.

#40 January 15th, 2021, 8:51 AM

Omaha Hi / Lo has a lot of loose and passive players who can be exploited in ways that are no longer relevant in No Limit Hold'em. If you play the same game all the time, you can easily get into a knurled rut and start playing "on autopilot." By learning Omaha Hi / Lo, you will gain a better understanding of some of the fundamental concepts of poker that you can apply to other games.

#41 January 15th, 2021, 9:31 AM

Love it, more than a hold'em... How do you like omaha hi/lo??

#42 January 16th, 2021, 10:15 AM

I like Omaha hi/lo, too. How do you like omaha hi/lo??

give me one more chance let stacks back.

#43 January 19th, 2021, 1:02 AM

I do! If given the option, I'd only play high/lo instead of high.

#44 January 19th, 2021, 2:51 PM

I love all types of omaha games, but the omaha hi/lo is my least favorite variety.

#45 January 19th, 2021, 3:02 PM

once I entered by mistake (forgot to change the filters) managed to make a profit but this is not a game for me. Only no limit holdem!

this is my problem in most cases I have a straight and I always split the pot,for myself or I win or lose soon it is more exciting

#48 January 20th, 2021, 9:24 PM

I don't think Omaha is for me playing it. Doing a lot for Hold'em.

#49 January 20th, 2021, 9:39 PM

so confusing game ever lol

#50 January 21st, 2021, 6:42 PM

it is my favorite game after holdem.
