Even a fish can win at Hi Low

Accidently hit reg for a Hi lo HU £15 today.

I was supprosed to see so many hole cards and as was pot limit, could not  even shove any A and hope for best.

Had such fun playing it. Almost understood it by end. Accidently played ofd lower stakes before. Is so much fun as when it does get all in i genuinly have no clue if ahead or behind when another card turns as no time to keep up. Felt sorry for opponent as we split a few hands when i thought made nuts but he had a low hand, ended up all in super late levels my AQ34 besting his A874 all in pre. 

Out of interest, what is best / worse statting hands? Is AA 23 a good starting point? And guessing when i was dealt 10 10 10 10 that is pretty poor haha

    No disrespect nuggy, but i fail to see why plo8 is such a mystery to some.Even i bink and cash in the mtts regularly, so its gotta be an easy game to fathom.

    Nice one thank mate. 

    Is a really fun game. Variance is huge and just takes away all the entitlement tilt amd bad beat stories. And being such a fish i wouldnt even know if got done by a one outter. Think i may give low stakes a go

    On a totally unconnected note, on another site on Sunday I was sat next to someone named "PLOisLuck"

    I have to say I enjoy PLO8, though PLO does not have the same attraction

    Found pl08 omaha the same way (reg for wrong game). Now prefer pl08 over texas, in most cases players give you a good game without being rude or whinging in the chat box. so good luck Nuggy if you give it a go. if only more players would give it a chance, would love to see a weekly freeroll pl08 to get other players involved.
