There is a good 5-10 limit with full kill omaha 8 game at Greektown on Saturdays. Last weekend it was still going when I left at 1:00 am.

This is confirmed for EVERY Thurs and Sat? I'm an O8 guy, and would love to mix up 24 tabling cash online once in a while lol. Someone asked earlier in the thread, and as far as O8 around here, here is what I know...
MCC used to run a game on Wednesdays and Saturdays. The stakes were $5/$10 with a full kill. Anytime someone scooped a pot over $70 or $80 (can't remember) the next hand became $10/$20. I used to have to arrive at 8am on Wednesdays just to have a seat, because if you didn't get there when the game started, you weren't getting on for HOURS. The game usually started around 9am, and ended sometime in the mid evening, I'd say 7pm or so. The traffic just started to slowly trickle away, and before ya knew it, the Wednesday game was no more, and then the Saturday game was no more either. I haven't been there in a few years but it was this way the last time I was there
A buddy of mine lives in Auburn Hills and told me about the charity room the Parrot club. It's a small stand alone poker room in the Lake Orion/Auburn Hills area and was told I needed to check out the LO8 tourney they ran, which was always a small field, and only had about 2 tables of people going (Only about 30 people TOTAL were there playing when I was there). It was funny to see people doing things like splitting their 4 cards into 2 groups of 2 on the table, so they knew which ones were the low ones, and which ones were the high ones
. After bubbling the tourney (I finished 4th), we had a full table of $3/$6 LO8 going. Unfortunately at limits that low, only the house and maybe one player will be coming out on top.
I grew up in Sterling Heights and frequent the Utica area. There is so much action at Snooker's on a consistent basis, it's sometimes fun just to go and watch the action for a half hour if I'm bored out of my mind! It is also true, they from time to time do a RXR $1/$2 PLO and $2/$5 NLHE. This kind of sucks, I don't want to risk the money in a $2/$5 NLHE game to reap the rewards in a smaller PLO game. I haven't played NLHE cash in years, and don't really intend to anytime soon.
I would love to start a group with people who love Omaha, whether it's PLO, LO8, PLO8, or maybe even NLO8, it'd be great to try to get a night of some lower stakes action with something like that. I know how hard it is, when I lived in Las Vegas over last winter, we had a BITCH of a time trying to get ONE game of PLO8 going. Every place was cool and said they'd gladly spread PLO8 if there was demand, and if I didn't know the card room manager somewhere, somebody I knew DID, so they were all very receptive, but the player pool just wasn't there unfortunately. However, the idea of seeing if one of these rooms (maybe snookers would be best because of the established consistent volume) would be open to us trying to start a weekly $1/$2 PLO8 or NLO8 game sounds like a great idea. Who else is interested in this? Who knows, NLO8 might catch on live lol
