Hello, Hi-Lo!
If you are not familiar with Omaha Hi-Lo, a range of "How to Play Hi-Lo" Editorials will be going up across the Site in the next few days.
I will put up Links to them on this thread when they appear.
Also, if you have ANY questions about Hi0Lo, feel fre to pitch them on this thread, & I'm sure I & others will do our best to reply.

Hi-Lo has ARRIVED at Sky Poker.
It has gone live this afternoon, which I'm thrilled to see.
At the moment, it will be a restricted schedule ONLY, to allow it to settle down, & players to get used to the functionality, & to get feedback from you guys as to what Tourneys & Cash Games you want to see in Hi0-Lo Omaha.
For NOW, a schedule of Hi-Lo MTT's will go live early this evening, Hourly I think, restricted to £1, £3, £5, & £10 MTT's. (All with 10% Reg Fee), as well as a range of Hi-Lo Cash tables.
These will run unchanged over the weekend, & will be reviewed based upon your feedback, & then a full schedule will be introduced later next week.
So, tell us what you want, or forever hold your peace.

There you go belsibub, that do you?
And remember, if the flop comes all high (3 cards 9 or above), there CANNOT be a Low hand.
The Board MUST contain THREE Low Cards (eight or less) for a Low hand to be possible, & you can ONLY use two Low cards from your hand.
See you on the Tables later on, I expect.
Handy hint.
Go to OPTIONS, & enable "SHOW HAND DESCRIPTIONS".
That will SHOW you, on the Table, what High, & Low hands you currently have, on the Flop, Turn & River.
The cash action on Hi-Lo has started "quietly".
There is a 25p - 50p Hi-Lo Cash game going with about £600 on the table. I'm scared!
Hi Tikay once i've read up on hi-lo through the links i will have a go sounds like fun
I ran rather well (= lucky) tonight, & ended up with a most pleasing £247.26. I'll settle for that!
Rather pleased also to win the first ever £10 Hi-lo Tourney on Sky Poker, though to be fair, there were only 8 runners! But I think it was for about £50.
I like Hi-Lo.
I yoyo-ed severely - down hugely, back to level then down a bit.
It's a great game with an enormous amount of "strategy" involved.
If you can't cope with the concept of variance I suggest that you avoid it.
If you fancy a challenge then I strongly recommend the game.
Hope to see many of you playing the game soon.
Ultimately I just wanna make Tikay use that 'Deposit' feature on the cashier.
Big thank you to sky Dave and Talon for their help at the table x
Hmmm jury is out at the moment.
played for 2 hours last nite on 2p/4p table thought it was a good game pots a lot bigger than holdem found it very addictive & very enjoyable keeps you thinking
I read the rules and don't really understand it, same as when I first heard Omaha, then I played the free-play and now I enjoy playing Omaha tournaments.
