umm one main flaw with 6 card omaha i see.... max players at table would be 7 and if the dealer dealt the river he'd have two cards in his hand (i know were talking online)...

5 board cards + 3 burn cards + (7) 6 hole cards/player = 50
6 players would mean 44...

might aswell just put all the money in the middle and play showdown omaha, make it a high/lo game and it'll take the dealer 10minutes to shove the pot (i know were talking online...)

so to the OP's subject question... NO, and if they did why would you play it?

edit: after rereading i'm guessing this is a joke right?

I think it sounds great. I cant imagine the pot sizes there would be at 8 or better.

Yeah 6 card o/8!

Why stop at six? I demand HU twenty-card Omaha.

There aren't enough cards in the deck eh? 9x6+5 ??

They should also consider 6-card crazy pineapple.

Hi,

Your calculations are correct, it is 7 players max. No its not a joke, this is a very popular game here in Scotland and Ireland in the b&m casinos amongst cash game players. If they had it online of course Id play it, its tons of fun.

you basically get an easy edge from tilters/gamblers chasing any sort of ridiculous draw for pot size bets on the turn.

collusion would be a serious issue. harder to detect and 2 or 3 players would have a ton of information to use against their opponents.

i have seen 5 card hi/lo played a lot live but i have never heard of 6 card hi. especially limit (it is limit right?).

limit omaha high is basically the worst poker variant out there. well nl 5 card stud is pretty lame as well.

dont forget the 3 burn cards if you see the river... and also 9 times 6 is 54 plus 5 is 59 (52 cards in my decks)... pretty sure 7 is the max they could allow and at that it would def live up to the name "crazy omaha"
