Does anyone play any other variations of poker? Omaha, stud etc?

Even the old fashioned 5 card draw????

Ive played a few of the free tourneys, although that was over 12 months ago .. Used to enjoy the Horse (although when hammered and playing for free I'd always forget the change of game type lol) .. Enjoyed the Omaha and Holdem, but the Hi-lo Razz and 7-card (I think) were my favourites.

I have no idea at figuring pot odds in proportion to "outs" in those games though.

have a look here CP
how many outs

play 5 card but not online as yet

I enjoy playing Omaha h/l.

I'm not sure if the Pstars software allows it but would be good if a few separate leagues could be set up. i.e. One for holdem and a separate one for Omaha. Also separate ones for different nights of the week i.e. A weekend league separate to a mid-week league.

Getting the numbers to each league may be an issue though which brings me to another question. Is this just restricted to safooty posters? I have a couple of mates that would be interested but aren't safooty members. Or do I just get them to sign up to safooty.net?

Good call Wooly, I was actually coming in to discuss the same sorta thing .. Would be great to get some games of Razz, Omaha etc going - Best way to learn is with play money and Im sure most of us would be in the same boat experience-wise.

[mickey]

Sounds like there is some interest for a horse tournament I will set 1 up for Friday night, play money of course....

When I get home from work ill copy and paste the rules etc for each of the different games.

***New Tournament***

This Friday night at 8:10pm there will be a Pot Limit Holdem / Pot Limit Omaha tournament..
500 + 30 play money
3000 starting stack, 10 minute blinds.

NOTE - This will not count as a leaderboard event as its only a trial..

How to Play Omaha Poker

Below is a general explanation on how to play Omaha Poker. The basic rules for all Omaha variants are the same, with the exception of the different betting structures between them. More details on these different betting structures follow.
In Limit games, the big blind is the same as the small bet, and the small blind is typically half of the size of the big blind but may be larger depending on the stakes. For example, in a $2/$4 Limit game the small blind is $1 and the big blind is $2. In a $15/$30 Limit game, the small blind is $10 and the big blind is $15.
In Pot Limit and No Limit games, the games are referred to by the size of their blinds (for example, a $1/$2 Omaha game has a small blind of $1 and a big blind of $2).
Betting then commences from the player to the left of the big blind.
Now, each player receives their four hole cards. Betting action proceeds clockwise around the table, starting with the player ‘under the gun’ (immediately clockwise from the big blind).

The Showdown

If there is more than one remaining player when the final betting round is complete, the last person to bet or raise shows their cards, unless there was no bet on the final round in which case the player immediately clockwise from the button shows their cards first. The player with the best five-card hand wins the pot. Remember: in Omaha, players must use two and only two of their four hole cards in combination with exactly three of the cards from the board. In the event of identical hands, the pot will be equally divided between the players with the best hands.
After the pot is awarded, a new Omaha poker game is ready to be played. The button now moves clockwise to the next player.
