The state of LO8 online ...
Hi guys,
This is my bi-yearly return to Limit Omaha 8, and I'm looking again at the full ring 2/4 games online at Poker Stars ... The average pots are around 5BB, and the players seeing the flop around 30%-35%. (Actually, the 10/20 games look looser) I haven't checked out Full Tilt, but I suspect the games are similar, if not tighter. And I know Absolute is a nit fest. The question: Is anyone beating these games online? It seems to me there just isn't enough action for anyone, even a competent player, to beat the rake. However, I have an odd fascination with the game (I can't explain it either), so I'd appreciate anyone telling me otherwise. Cheers! Z. |

I don't play anything lower than 5/10, but there are many very good, beatable games available for LO8. No, I'm not going to tell you when & where I play, but anyone who puts in a little time can find juicy games.

There are good games all evening on stars. I play plo8 though.

Absolute is filled with a bunch of loose maniacs that think they are playing holdem - most tables have an average vpip of over 35 % - many over 40%, and all of these 'nits' (you are using the word incorrectly), will call down with top pair, 7th nut flush draw, 4th nut low draw, etc. [/ QUOTE ] |

The trend seems to be the higher the limit the better the game. The 6 max games tend to almost always be good.

Re: The state of LO8 online ...
Does the 'action' depend on when you play? Think FLO8 is more popular with US players, with Europeans having a PLO Hi tradition.
The FLHE tables certainly suffered, when the US players had to be barred from sites. Many UK Online Pro's were already switching to NLHE. So now I look at book like "Mid-Limit Hold'em" featuring $10/20 & $15/30 games etc, and see much softer play on table examples than a 50c/$1 online game this year. At European day time almost all the O8 action seems to be PLO, rather than FLO. |

I'm not finding it beatable and I don't have the BR to go higher but the 8/16 and 15/30 Full tilt games seem to be loosey goosey. If you look, David Chiu and Berry Johnston are on there all the time... assuming they are playing poker for a living they must be making some good money.

I don't think they'd be all that great of winners without a $30/hr pay from FTP.
