Is it about time that the GSN network changes the High stakes game to PLO?? Lets assume that the poker player watches the show because we are sick of seeing AK vs. 99 shoves in Tournament poker and we want to see more strategy and post flop play

The irony here of course is that pretty much every big pot would probably be a coinflip situation.

THis idea came from the post on who should be the next internet pro to play in the HSP poker game.

Is it about time that the GSN network changes the High stakes game to PLO?? Lets assume that the poker player watches the show because we are sick of seeing AK vs. 99 shoves in Tournament poker and we want to see more strategy and post flop play, and lets also assume the novice player or person who knows nothing about pokers watches because he/she loves the cash that is flying around in the high stakes game.

what about 400/800 dollar blinds 500K buy in PLO full table.

Omaha i think is becoming better to watch and more fun to the poker public. because the swings can be tremendous

Now i know some critics will say networks won't do it because they will be afraid the novice will not undertand it, but Kaplan is probabally the best commentator around and could easily transition the average public to understand the game. Plus i think people would tune in to see a 3 way all in pot for 1.5 million

Think of how great it would be to see farha or Benyamine rebuy after loosing a 2 mill. pot because his wrap and flush draw missed. Throw in the internet pros and that would be some great TV

err maybe not

How about we leave it NLHE, but we allow a small viewing crowd armed with paint ball guns firing at any player that says "this is so sick!".

I kind of completely suck at Omaha so I'd love to see how these high stakes players maneuver in PLO. Definitely in the minority but I do wish there was some kind of Omaha cash game on TV.

[pete fabrizio]

how about making it 1k-2k nlh/plo mix, like the bellagio game. i mean, 300-600 is so passe.

[Lurker.]

It would go like this every one limps and they see a flop and whoever flopped the nuts and draw to the nuts would start betting and everyone would fold until they had a huge pot of nut flush draw with a wrap vs. top set. Thats the whole show, they dont even need to make the episodes now!!! Enjoy [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I like it the way it is. It's basically the only NLHE on tv with post flop play. If you get rid of that, all we have is the monstrosity that is the WPT.
