Many congratz to him on winning this omaha event. I find Omaha a very difficult game but i find Omaha Hi-Lo an almost impossible game to fathom out and this discipline is not for me

great to see that ladies are showing men how to play poker... not the winner eventually, but a very solid second place and that means that she has defeated a gang of more than 900 men (what a gang bang that would be...) congrats martini dude for finally owning hoang

I do not understand the omaha hi lo game but i played a omaha game with 5000 fixed players and i won 1st with 5.17 dollars my prize. A nice amount of money compared with money earned by Julien Martini in this tournament. Anyway is a beautiful sum for this Frenchman and now he can play more games in this WSOP.

It is an easy game. You can grasp the basics at once. If you are lucky enough and you know what you are doing you can make money out of it. You will need to be very careful of the split pots, to know when to bet and how much. Also some times it saves you money calling, when you are sure that the pot is a split

Omaha hi lo is a super great game, when you have plenty of idiots at the table who do not know the basic rules of the game right or just play the game as if Omaha hi for the most of time, but when the table is dominated by those who are good Omaha hi lo players this game becomes very frustrating to play and very hard to scoop both pots

Big congratulations to Julien Martini from France on winning the $1,500 buy-in Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better tournament and scooping nearly a quarter-million dollars. I have played Omaha Hi-Lo 8 or Better a couple of times online, but I couldn't quite understand the rules.
