If its a .50 ante / .50 bring in, $1 complete then the pot lays 9:1 for anyone to call (yum!), and a completion lays 6:2 to the remaining players left to act (11:1 for the bring in). Thats a serious action game, if you don't play loose then your missing expected value with this structure.... super yummy!

That game did play fast. Not uncommon to see pots $100+ pots.

Unless you are a high limit player, or there are major game selection issues in your area, I don't see a good EV based reason to learn another game besides maybe limit hold em. Stud and omaha is dealt so damned slow, and the learning curve is gonna be viscious for you.

If you MUST go with a different game, pick omaha/8. Enjoy getting eaten alive by tips/the rake when you split the pot or get quartered every damn times.

-I am an adequate LHE player , but I find NLHE to be more profitable and more fun, so I rarely play LHE and am not particularly interested in playing it more.

for some reason, NL players always think that, and it's never true.

PLO High is the crack cocaine of poker games!

Different dialect and I had to call my mom to ask her what this means. She gave me two meanings and for both I'll say yes. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I would 100 percent reccomend taking up omaha8 for many reasons.
1. with a basic knowledge of the game u can be "killing" most low limit games that are mostly loose/passive.
2 ***********************************************
3. This game is very forgiving, and stud is 100 percent not. in a very short time u can find out real quick how unforgiving stud really is, and be down serious money.
theres a few more, but i think i have made my point
