[ QUOTE ]
At motor city casino last night, i saw they had a sign for 5/10 limit omaha hi/lo with a full kill. Anyone play in this game?
if so...
how is the game (imagine pretty soft)?
what triggers the kill pot?
the sign said saturday morning at 10am. does this run ervey saturday or is it hit or miss?
once it gets running, how long does it go for, few hours or all day?
anything else worth knowing?

To the best of my knowledge, they run the game fromabout 9am on Wednesday, and it usually runs till between 5pm-10pm, whenever it breaks.

It's not as soft as it should be. What happens is the regular old men/ladies who are rocks, or weak/tighties go over and play O/8 with each other, and just bet the nuts for 9 hours. It's not unbeatable, but they aren't retarded either. Most of the people like the game and they are familiar.

A few ppl don't quite understand it though, and on more than one occasion a guy tried to claim the high pot with a flush when his hand was

2nd ?

The kill pot goes into effect when someone wins the 'whole' pot, and the pot is over $80, before rake and drop. So usually 1-4 hands plays at 10-20.

Good game, nice change up, just not the softest game there.
