Why is there no hi/lo declare online?

[GiantBuddha]

When I first moved from my home game to casinos and card clubs, I played all the games. But I was always disappointed that there was no high/low chip declare. There are so many angles and so much confusion in this game that I understand why it's not offered in casinos. But why hasn't it made an appearance on the internet yet? It seems that the logistics would be much simpler than in a live game.

One reason would be too easy to cheat.

Holdem has the advantage that successful collusion requires lots of skill.

High/lo split games today can be colluded successfully with much less skill, and has been a real problem.

Add in the hi/lo declare element, and it'd practically be impossible for an honest guy to win.

Phish is probably right, but also there isn't much of a market for it. Somebody has to compile and maintain the code for the extra game.

Look long it took for Razz or any of the draw games to be offered online, and those are somewhat popular.

Razz is somewhat popular? I thought no one had played it since mullets went out of style.

As mentioned, collusion has killed that game. You'd be commiting suicide to join it without a partner.

I like razz. Anyway, what's this about about mullets now?

Speaking of, I still find this funny

I'm curious, how do people collude in this game?
