Hello, Hi-Lo!

Hi-Lo has ARRIVED at Sky Poker.

It has gone live this afternoon, which I'm thrilled to see.

At the moment, it will be a restricted schedule ONLY, to allow it to settle down, & players to get used to the functionality, & to get feedback from you guys as to what Tourneys & Cash Games you want to see in Hi0-Lo Omaha.

For NOW, a schedule of Hi-Lo MTT's will go live early this evening, Hourly I think, restricted to £1, £3, £5, & £10 MTT's. (All with 10% Reg Fee), as well as a range of Hi-Lo Cash tables.

These will run unchanged over the weekend, & will be reviewed based upon your feedback, & then a full schedule will be introduced later next week.

So, tell us what you want, or forever hold your peace. ;)

    If you are not familiar with Omaha Hi-Lo, a range of "How to Play Hi-Lo" Editorials will be going up across the Site in the next few days.

    I will put up Links to them on this thread when they appear.

    Also, if you have ANY questions about Hi0Lo, feel fre to pitch them on this thread, & I'm sure I & others will do our best to reply.

    Yes - but ONLY if there is a qualifying low hand! If not, it ALL goes to the high hand.

    And remember, if the flop comes all high (3 cards 9 or above), there CANNOT be a Low hand.

    The Board MUST contain THREE Low Cards (eight or less) for a Low hand to be possible, & you can ONLY use two Low cards from your hand.

    Handy hint.

    Go to OPTIONS, & enable "SHOW HAND DESCRIPTIONS".

    That will SHOW you, on the Table, what High, & Low hands you currently have, on the Flop, Turn & River.

    Just played my first ever game of hi-lo & even managed a whopping 35p profit from the 2/4p cash table. 

    WOO-HOO!!

    It takes some getting used to but I think I understand the basics now

    The cash action on Hi-Lo has started "quietly".

    There is a 25p - 50p Hi-Lo Cash game going with about £600 on the table. I'm scared!

    I've been silently railing this for the last hour - it's great stuff and Tikay don't be so modest...there's £600 on the table of which £200* is yours! Nice going Grandpa...

    *Normal service should be resumed by time I finish posting this...Tikay is probably now on £32.68*

    Thank you Dan!

    I ran rather well (= lucky) tonight, & ended up with a most pleasing £247.26. I'll settle for that!

    Rather pleased also to win the first ever £10 Hi-lo Tourney on Sky Poker, though to be fair, there were only 8 runners! But I think it was for about £50.

    I like Hi-Lo.  ;)
