Why isn't Hold 'em ever played Hi/Lo???

[luv2chkraze]

I'm sure there's a reason for it, but sometimes I'm stupid.

[Warik]

Because Hi/Lo suxxxxxxxxxxxxx

and Hold'em doesn't. Therefore, the two are incompatible.

It has interesting looking starting hand rankings (the group6 looks like 22, KQs, 99, A9s and 62s, 43, 52, 63s, A8s, 65s - I haven't verified anything just looked them once from acespade's rankings and grouped them for fun), more so shorthanded where we see also some hands that are not better aces (AQ, AJs, A4, A6s), bigger pocket pairs (TT or better) and 5Xs. These, except 54s, would be group4 or better. But there are just too many splits. Omaha hilo has two more cards so it makes more sense, though perhaps still not enough.

I don't think 2 hole cards is enough for a split game.

word. plus there is something so unsettling about A2 now being the best possible hand.

there would be a ton of split pots, tons.

Because it's hard to play any hand without an A in it.

Its called Omaha nad is a GREAT game!!!!!

If you think beating Hold'm is easy - if you become good at Omaha it's REALLY easy.

Don't play stoned though!!
