I hope not, I have spent most of the year learning to be a break even player. I am almost there.

5-10 LO8 & below is boring, Nuff Said.

[/ QUOTE ]

and 20-40 might be boring to players who want to play 100-200 ... point being, depending on someone's bankroll - a 1/2 game can give them all the rush they need.

[/ QUOTE ]There's not much of a rush in playing low limit omaha eight or better. It's just a game for those who don't want to gamble and have fairly easy decisions. The game becomes more interesting and skillful at the higher limits.

I completely disagree with this statement.
1) I get a rush from LL O8
2) I have had an easier time beating some 10/20
and even 30/60 games than I have some 1/2. The game
is always about the players, not the limit, and
higher limit does not always equal better players,
although 80-90% they will be better higher you go.

5-10 LO8 & below is highly profitable , Nuff Said.

[/ QUOTE ]

FYP.

Seriously, I have made a lot more money playing low stakes LO8 both online (Pokerstars and WPX up to 3/6) and live (3/6, 4/8, often with a kill) over the last two months than I have playing LHE at higher levels (up to 20/40) at any time.

Now maybe that's because I am a crappy LHE player or maybe its just because a competent LO8 player has such a large advantage over the field of donks while a competent LHE player is more likely to face better competition... whatever the reason, I will take the cash...
