Unusual no-limit games?

I was just wondering if anyone else on this forum has played 7 card stud, 7cs8, or razz for no-limit? We have been doing this in my regular game and it is really interesting. I noticed that natedogg played some Miss. Stud 8 for pot-limit....

What about Omaha 8? We have been playing all of these games lately and I am wondering if this is unheard of, because I haven't seen anything posted about these games as no-limit until natedogg's Miss 8 post. I must say that I have always been bored by regular 7CS, but playing high-low or Razz for no-limit is great! I have been joking with the other players about Omaha 8 no-limit being immoral and insane, as basically a nut-low has a huge advantage over a high hand, in that it is easy to push-in your stack when you know you will at least get something back. I have been in pots so large in this game that I have gotten quartered and still made significant profit in a hand.

I am just wondering if any of you have played these games no-limit or pot-limit, and if so, what are your opinions? Are these games legitimate as no-limit? If so, why are they not played, or at least talked about more? Anyway, natedogg's post just brought this to mind...

Comments appreciated, thanks!

if you are playing for fun, not money, it may be OK. I suggest that you will find very few people willing to play any split pot game with a N/L or P/L structure because the "nut" high, or low can punish the others too much.


this coimes from one who has mostly played P/L and N/L for many years....but if it is a split game, deal around me!


now in high only, I think that is the way to go.
