Hello Gentlemen,

I reiterate that some discussion around actual playing home poker is a nice change. Although, I love being a voyeur and checking out the sweet new chips sets.

In the poker league that I organize we do the full orbit thing as well. One full orbit with blinds and you can play all the HE, Omaha and draw varitations (with the dealer deciding). The next full orbit is with a forced bring-in bet (low card showing pays in high games) combined with a small ante by the dealer each time (for the table). With this we can play all the stud variations (again dealer's choice). At the end of the full orbit we get table concensus as to what we do next. Basically all the games are covered and you can still mix it up during the orbit.

Ps. We have been playing a lot of double flop HE, which always gets a lot of action. We just added double flop Omaha, which is a crazy variation with even more action. Anyone else try this?

Ditto your comments. I play with a group of regulars (I'm the noob) with dealer ante and progressive betting 25¢ 1st round, 50¢ 2nd, 75¢ 3rd etc... All games are split hi/lo declare and dbl flops are common - almost always Omaha... definitely good for action. Not crazy about the structure... I'd rather orbit and stick to the non-crazies! It still makes for fun and the hi/lo which I think sux does allow for break even nights for most. The dbl omaha is one of the few crazy games I like.
