more than no limit

**trustme** · 3rd November 2005, 09:40 PM

Everyone seems to play no limit texas hold em, anybody play anything else? While no limit is my favourite, everyday I also play fixed limit tournaments and omaha. Play pot limit now and then. If im bored i play 7stud for cash or sit and goes. If i have had 40 cans of redbull i sometimes find myself playing omaha hi/lo. I have found an insane amount of caffeine really helps when playing that game.

Ill play Omaha, tournies and cash tables, and sometimes 7 stud cash tables as well.

Omaha has the ability to drive you mad though when you find some idiots who think the way to play is for some luck, and they always seem to hit that luck.................

I play more Omaha cash online than I do NLH. I only play limit or pot limit at very low buy ins though, as i am still learning the game. I would like to play a live tourney for a bit of a change every now and then.

I have never played stud, and as for the mystery of hi-lo? Forget it.

I play N/L and P/L hold 'em. Have tried to play limit, but don't really get on with it. I've tried omaha a couple of times, it's ok but not really my thing I don't think. I've even tried omaha high low! Now there's a crazy game.......

When I first started playing online poker a few years back I was trying all the games before I knew the rules. I remember playing Omaha and not knowing you had to use 2 cards. I was about to email support and ask why my "full house" had not won the pot until my friend informed me of the key rule

I occaisonally play p/l omaha now but the swings are bigger than hold em. Ive recently realised I win more playing limit than no limit hold em cash games. Banned myself from playing no limit (apart from the odd sit n go) for a month to see what the results are like!

The swings are what make it fun! From flopping the nut straight to see it improve to the nut flush only to be done by someone hitting the Full house on the river can be exhilerating stuff!

I only play 0.25/0.50 cents, and I think the biggest pot I have ever won was about 80 dollars when someone bet into my Quad 3's with their full house... Heh heh heh!

I like playing Omaha tournaments on Betfair, as you can virtually guarantee that by the end of level 1 (ie ten hands) at least 3 or 4 players will have been knocked out.

I have very nearly made the money by not even playing one hand, and only had to start playing with 4 people left with the blinds still at 50/100, and had 900 chips left!

I've been toying with the idea of trying a few games of omaha. (although I didn't really like it that much the first time round), but the problem is, I'd rather sit down and play a one table tourney than play a ring game. And the reason I havn't done it yet is because the tourneys for omaha take too long to fill up!

This is sadly true.

I once registered for a STT Omaha game on Betfair, and at the same time registered for a NLH game. Just as the NLH game was finishing, literally heads up winning hand, up popped a box saying "Tournament 694812 is starting" and I thought to myself. "What tournament?" when I clicked "ok" to go sit down I suddenly remembered the Omaha game that i put my name down for over an hour ago!

Usually i play just nl cash, sng's mtt.Have tried a limit and cant get on with it at all so for something a little different i tend to play 7card which i tend to find a little boring at times but do alright at.

Ladbrokes have started some potlimit 7 card stud tournaments, one started at 2:30 am with only 21 runners, with fifteen minute blinds and fixed antes of 5 chips...oh and a rebuy and add on. finished at ten to six this morning! good tournament but it just goes on too long, i expected with 21 runners for it maybe to last a couple of hours. Liked it, made a nice profit because of no rebuys or add ons but really dont know if i would play it again.

They do some good omaha tournaments too thoughout the day and night, well worth a look
