I think most of you all just seem to be complaining because you haven't gotten AAxx in a splash pot and so have either open-folded for folded to first big raise. I'm pretty sure the raises aren't "standard" in the NL games (I wouldn't know as I only play PLO and now PLO8) when there is a splash pot, so why cap PLO?

The whole point is to battle for that extra cash and what everyone here is saying is <whining> "I don't want to battle. I want to see a flop and get lucky t flop the nuts with extra players in the pot"

You've all been accustomed to "3-bet only AAxx" and so will only raise-first-in on these splash pots with AAxx. Realize that you should be ready to raise wider and get it in wider because of that dead money, or just sit out and give that equity to those of us willing to do so.

Global Poker, please don't change the pre-flop betting in PLO

Side Note: The software is already marginal, do you really want their coders trying to change something that is actually functional?!

Splash pots do create tons of action, please ignore the obv nits ITT.

Ya how does an extra 5bbs in the pot not create action? lol poker players will complain about anything.

Either nut peddle and give up the ***free money you're complaining about*** or give action and have some fun. The choice is yours.

This thread proves how sickeningly nitty gp players are hahahaha. Really upset about not being able to call the splash pots pre bc they're "priced out" good lord thats bad.

Live Poker Dealer joke that is sad but true.

Wanted to give positive feedback on the splash pots, should increase traffic across the site. Selfishly hoping will help spice up the HS NL action

from the guy complaining about poker being solved because they can barely beat PLO10

The splashed pot idea is fantastic.

All I'm personally saying is the play at PLO tables here are generally very loose preflop. More than a few play looser versus an open than if it were folded to them -- this is *a* player type that only finds 3-bets with AA and has the "I don't want to battle. I want to see a flop and get lucky t flop the nuts with extra players in the pot" mindset to crack AA.

These players get a bit more tight in the splashed pot just from personal viewing, but if you've seen different, then perfect.

Fair point on the software lol

Glad they introduced this regardless

im playin a USPS satelite tournament soon, hopin 2 c sum splash pots 2 win lots of tickets and avatars

How is a statement of my belief that NO Limit Holdem is solved a whine?

I always smile when someone uses the word "poker" to describe NLH as if it were the only game that exists.

The best thing about poker, almost everyone overestimates their abilities and continues to make the same mistakes over and over. I have been trying to become self aware and realize, that maybe, some of those bad beats, weren't bad luck.
