Love them. Most people that play those games can barely play OmahaHi and they weigh their initial hands completely wrong. A play I like to do is in late position vs many opponents, enter the pot with crappy LOW cards if there has been a raise and many calls. This usually means the high cards are spread out between the players. So, most times I scoop the low pot while they split the high one, or I can take it down on the flop if it comes rags (usually does, since the high cards are, as I said, dealt between the others).

Great game I just started playing it myself... I was playing mostly Omaha Hi but Hi Low is a much better game with so much to think about...

Hi debb313.
I think is funny and profitable if you are a good player, of course. I don´t play too much, because if i´m a fish in Holdem in Omaha much more . Is the best kind of game for the rakebackers, too.

I think Omaha is the other side of Poker, because you have to play very weel if you don't want to lose all your money. Also I don't like playing Hi-Lo because you alwways have to split your Pot when you win whit KKKK.

I like it but it's much more difficult than Hold'em (at least to me) and requires the most of your attention... I know that you can make many more FTP or Party points in a 9-handed ring game of Omaha HI-LO than in any other game... Me, I lack a bit in the theory part, as I can't value very right the hands... and this "LO" factor adds an interesting twist, although irritating to split a pot when you caught a monster hand...

yeah i prefer pot limit like,its quite addicting at mo for me hehe yes teteban thats how i usually go about it go for the low and let them have a split pot for high its alot more complex and gets your brain going more than holdem
