Limit O8 and Limit Hold 'Em Limit O8 and Limit Hold 'Em

Recent Ignition software update pretty much killed limit games on their site.

There was good consistent action of Limit O8 and Limit Holdem going daily at stakes 1/2 through 30/60.

You are in a great position to capture that pool of players, I hope you step up and add those games soon.

It would also be amazing if eventually you could add an 8-game and all its' poker variants.

I would certainly do my part to spread the word among limit and mixed game players.

Thanks

I 2nd this.

Limit O8 is a great game

Tables from .50-1 to 5-10 limit sound good to me

I agree that this would be great...... eventually... with such a new company having a smaller player pool this would only spread the pool out causing fewer players in each game.

I know plenty of players who do not play NLHE or PLO but play Limit games, so in IMHO that wouldn't be the case

Any change to this? Does Global support limit? Seriously dead over at Ignition.

We are open to considering anything that our players want.

As mentioned above, our main priority is to ensure that any changes that we make does not effect our traffic in the existing games.

Your feedback has been noted.

Admin imo adding these games won't impact your traffic in NLHE games, it will be negligible. The demand for these games is very small. There are always some players that like them, but just for a comparison...

I just opened up a larger US facing network, they currently have well over 125 NLHE cash game tables running. There are exactly 2 fixed limit HE tables running, both are heads up tables and 1 player is at both so that's 3 active FLHE players only playing HU. There are 4-5 more sitting alone on tables waiting for some unsuspecting rec player to sit with them because they refuse to sit with each other lol.

PLO8/NLO8 has 10 tables currently running, FLO8 has none and only 1 player seated waiting for a game.

I do think these games should be added. I'm not sure they warrant a high priority because frankly the demand for them is low. On the plus side adding them simply won't have any tangible impact on your NLHE games and having a more robust game offering makes sense. Also I can't stress enough, make sure these (or any) new games are very well beta tested before you roll them out. Especially Omaha/8 since you don't yet offer any high/low split games... no offense to your programmers but I'd be surprised if they get all the nuances correct with version 1.0.

I'm not trying to take a side for or against these games. Just trying to bring some unbiased facts to the discussion as well as share my own opinion. FWIW once FLO8 is offered I will play, I currently go to that larger US facing network for FLO8 but the games are very limited and generally only running in the evenings higher than 2c/4c. I would play anything from $2-$4 to $5-$10 if the games run.

Build it and they/we/me will come. Start with one or two tourneys, like a $2.00 - 5.00 $weepsCash for PLO8 and another one for a fixed limit game.

Please.

WPN never had a big population of Limit Hold 'Em and FLO8 players.

All of them were playing on Bovada/Ignition and there were tons of games across of all limits(up to 30/60) until the lobby changes.

Limit, NL, FLO8 and PLO8 co-existed without any problems with big enough pools for all of those games

I guess I missed out on that as I didn't start playing on Ignition much until more recently

sounds right. I'll check ignition for these more frequently (and when GP does eventually add them, I'll play)

I'd love to see some limit games on GP, particularly O8. I no longer think there's the traffic issue that there was prior to the Spring boom that brought hundreds of players to the site.
