Hi Lo?
As you probably know, our very own Tikay went deep and cashed in an Omaha Hi Lo WSOP event this year (thus maintaining his 100% record of cashes in WSOP events - 2 from 2!) He is a big lover of Hi Lo, playing it regularly. Basically we were curious who had tried it, what do you like / not like about it and just to chat…

What level does skill set change?
At beginning of year was playing 2 tables NL4. Gradually increased this and was OK at NL8 and for past 2 weeks been comfortable at 2 tables NL10 with a bankroll of £500. During the past week I have taken the occasional stab at NL20. Doubled up the first time but stacked on 3 other occasions. Is this the level that skills…

Floor ruling
Horrible floor ruling tweeted by Daniel Negreanu earlier tonight: Guy mucks his hand face up. It hits the muck and he has 2 4, board is alkl high cards. He then jokes and says "all in". Floor rules he is all in. $300 pot, guy has $5000 in front of him.

You look at them sometimes and think, for example. 'I recognise that from a computer game but which one?' Which got us thinking, why not tell us what yours is…

Opinion on live ruling:
Playing a £50 FO Live at an unfamiler venue. 45 or so runners. On the bubble pick up a hand of value, build a pot. Connect with flop, bet flop. Pot is HU going to turn. Turn is pretty grim card, have about 50% of my stack involved in hand. I check to oppo. Oppo's girlfriend comes over, bends over, mutters something to him.…
