NL Irish Holdem seems to be pretty popular on Full Tilt

Anyone tried it? Seems interesting with more possibilities to bluff then in Omaha on the turn and river since theres 2 cards (After discarding 2 on the flop) instead of 4 like in Omaha.

I guess its a mixture of Texas And Omaha. In Omaha its pot limit but in Irish they have NL variant on Full Tilt, plus its 4 cards on the flop furthermore. So its all huge gambling action. I've roughly checked the average pot size of Irish compared to Omaha for similar stakes and *surprise*, Irish generates a larger pot size.

Guess its going to be the next "Omaha"! Anytime there's a new popular variant, mistakes are going to be made and there's a chance for pros to feed off fishes!

I'd never heard of it til the other day when I was on Full Tilt. They made a mistake with the guarantee on one of the $1 NL Irish tourneys and I had no idea what it was. Prize pool was supposed to be $100 but it was actually $750 and only 43 players registered. Everybody cashed but I didn't last too long. Seems like a fun game though. Will definitely play it again.

I believe that poker rooms need launch 1-2 different games every month. Most people will to gamble. No regs, because fishes gone into the new game in next month.
