I argued that plo8b should live under the plo banner, back when we had our first forum splits. PLo8b is very strange as it doesn't really resemble either game it might expect, PLO or limit O8b. But its closer to PLO.

[/ QUOTE ]Hi Big Dave - I agree, and when we took a straw vote, way back then, that's how we voted, to put all pot-limit together and all fixed-limit together.

Back then, there was no pot-limit Omaha-8 available on a sustained basis. And there was also no fixed-limit Omaha-high available on a sustained basis.

But things have changed and now pot-limit Omaha-8 games seem available on-line on a sustained basis. (I've still never seen one with my own eyes that goes daily in a casino).

And now that I'm acting as moderator for both forums, I kind of like the split the way it is.

But I still agree that the actual play in pot-limit Omaha-8 is more similar to the actual play in pot-limit Omaha-high than in fixed-limit Omaha-8.

I'm pretty sure that the vote was to keep plo8b under lo8b. This was back in the Wintermute days, as i recall.

Have the games grown enough since the vote that it could be split into 4 forums instead of 2 - I wasn't around back then?

Is it a bandwidth issue?

There are 7 forums dedicated to LHE, 5 to Tournaments, etc.

I think the new software will be implemented the first weekend of December.

I'm not sure exactly what is possible at that point. There also have been requests from other individuals to open more forums in other areas. Lots of the other areas have much greater volume than the Omaha-8 and Omaha-high forums. The Omaha-8 forum, in particular has a rather low volume at this time.

I think we have to wait until then to see what is happening.

See the URL in the stickey at the top of the opening page of this forum for more information.

I think sticking as we are probably makes sense now.

tutuffin:
my experience is more @ the micro limits...
your hi hands [the AA/KK/QQ/AK stuff] tend to lose value @ the low and micro limits, simply because there's more people in the flop [usually 6-7 handed opposed to 3-4 handed]... A2, A23, and even A3 increase in value here, along with suited aces somewhat... and you'll see less limping and more jamming. In limit O/8, the more callers, the more premium your hand has to be preflop [one or both ways].
