It's literally the stupidest poker game in existence. Really hope they change that to pot limit. Encouraging that there's quite a sizeable player pool for Omaha Hi/Lo, though.

Just played a bit. Ridiculous. If I want to play a preflop shoving game I would play tournaments.

Please change it Stars!

There aren't really that many people shuving preflop, i've played for a couple of hours now. And most of the guys shuving are giving away money

I agree pot limit would be better though.

It doesnt matter if YOU can do it, alot of people will do it and can't handle it. Its ruining the games, stop complaining please.

good point, it should prob be a case by case basis. I think PS was going to do something similar for regular ring games iirc.

What was the peak number of players in todays No Limit Omaha High Low pool? And I totally agree that this needs to be changed to Pot Limit.

Post black friday there where more players at FR nl400 than FR nl200. But the game at FR nl200 broke down post black friday.

The nl200 6max game still ran, The nl400 6max normaly did not.

I personally think the dev team have already made plans to develop and implement it. How can they not. The Rush-On-Demand at Full tilt was massive. With Full Tilt reopening aswell they need to make sure their software is the best it can possibly be.

Just my opinion though.

In one of the previous Pokercasts, Steve D was asked about Zoom MTTs and his answer was vague, but sounded to me like they are not currently being considered until it is clear how cash games go. I would think it would be a couple months at the earliest.

Yeah I don't understand why there's no 0.02/0.05 PLO when there's 0.02/0.05 NLHE.

The fact is, NLO8 is a more popular format than PLO8. This is the opposite of PLO High where the Pot-Limit format is more popular than the No-Limit format. Check the NGs and regular cash games that run, NL is WAY ahead.

The reason NL isn't seen at the nano-micro level cash games is because they didn't exist at all before the zoom games were introduced (25 NLO8 cash were the lowest levels you can play).

In terms of MTTs, the entire Stars MTT schedule is outdated and there's a 2:1 PLO8 to NLO8 ratio of tournaments that run and there is some serious consideration to having this changed up to reflect the present climate of where NLO8 is more popular.

Suggestion: I AM A FISH

When you are playing zoom and you fold, and there are no tables currently available to play your next hand on.. I think you should stay at your current table and watch the current hand play out.

Playing 2.50/5.00 zoom when there are only 13 people in the pool.. after folding I get put on an empty table by myself and wait for 20 seconds for the next hand. I'm a fish, I have no clue what's going on and I'm getting bored. I quit.

This needs to be fixed otherwise fish like me wont play high stakes zoom when there's only 1 or 2 tables running.
