thanks for your posts. omaha is in the development pipeline. unfortunately i can't be more specific than saying it is coming but keep an eye out in the forum over the next few months for further updates and announcements.
thanks,
Rich
How many people on this site do you reckon have ever played OMAHA?
I have not played it yet although i have watched instructional videos on Cardrunners so i probably wont be the biggest fish lol.
I have played a few games on Party,
My God, it hurts your head.
But fret not, when it comes - & it's well down the Development & Testing Road now - I'll do a crash-course in Omaha basics on the Forum.
Yup played twice, won twice, but aint gonna play it
Hi Lo is even tougher.
Thanks to Tikay it should be such a hard learning curve this time round.
even for very good players, in this game the swings are deadly. try it out for fun, enjoy the game, but be carefull before investing much of your BR in this as you spend most of your time drawing only to be re-darwn against.
i think this will become the cash game of choice for the top players on the site but there will be a reason for that, everybody is going to pay them off lol (certainly at first).
One thing Sky does have a lot of is loyal players. There are lots of players here who don't play there poker anywhere else. (which i'm sure Sky love as a loyal member in the general Poker World is like Santa Claus....SHHhhhhh don't tell the Kids but theres no such thing lol) Which means experiance with this game and it's very different starting ranges are going to be very limited at first.
Not trying to put anyone off this great game just a word of caution is all, you can lose twice as much twice as often with this beast lol
I am really looking forward to this game coming to sky poker. Will be interesting to see which of the many regular players take part in this, and what affect this will have on the number playing hold em. I would mainly stick to holdem personally, but would have an occasional go at omaha to try and pick it up.
I would look forward to the help in the threads that tk has indicated he will provide so it would be good for a lot of us to learn at the same time.
Just to check, though, will it just be pot limit omaha, or will their be no limit as well?
i have seen omaha nl freerolls elsewhere and gave it a try to see what it was like. I found it to be fun for a slight change to playing holdem, but i was even more clueless than i am at hold em. As i say, it was no limit so I'm not sure how that compares to pot limit, and i will be having a look at it either way.
I think if i understood the game a bit better, i would understand why pot limit is more common.
Given your knowldege of the game, perhaps i will try and avoid your tables once it arrives mate...
I'm sure everybody will love it for the a mix up but no doubt once the initial buzz dies down then holdem wil lcontinue to rule supreame. It is good fun and that's all i treat it as. Certainly not an expert at playing it but do enjoy it a lot. Doesn't sound like it will be here for quite a few months though so it's MTT's in holdem on here till then lol
Can't wait for Omaha - it can drive you dizzy but hi/lo in particular would be great.
Ding refers to an impromptu Omaha Beginners Course Simon Trumper did one night at DTD.
Simon dealt out 6 out hands to 6 players - face-up - & then asked everyone what chances each hand had of winning. EVERY player got it wrong, & Simon predicted it correctly. He then dealt the flop, rinse repeat, turn, ditto, & River. Never have so many players grasped the concept of Omaha so quickly. He also explained WHY everyone was getting it wrong, & the whys & whats of each hand. Brilliant!
