    In Response to Re: A later £1.10 PLO8 tourney? : If you provide russian roulette SNG's and "chip and chair " mtts, which you do, then i can't see any reason not to provide the odd NLO mtt, or higher NLO cash tables, on that logic. PLO IS a beautiful game for sure, but for those who are not bothered about learning it properly, or perhaps incapable of understanding it fully, why not have NLO as an option for people that like a gamble? fwiw, I much prefer the NLO dyms to the PLO dyms because they usually play quicker and they allow the loose players to exit earlier meaning i can fold to the win.

    Sky Poker used to offer a range of NL Omaha, but there was, unsurprisingly, almost nil demand. NL Omaha just does not work.
     
    If they include every single players wishes, the Tourney Lobby would be worse than the 'Stars one, which is cluttered to death.

    In Response to Re: A later £1.10 PLO8 tourney? : I can only reiterate what I already said, I'm sorry. I have now sent it upstairs again. With the greatest respect, there is not an "overwhelming consencus" in favour! ALL requests are considered, not all get accepted. I would imagine there is a reason in every case, too. I will have a personal word, & see what they say, but it will be next week before I get the opportunity.

    Thanks for you reply Tikay,

    we will have to agree to disagree on the overwhelming consensus.  Also thanks for having a personal word.  I look forward hearing what upstairs have to say, if you, or they, would be so kind as to post their thoughts.

    Thanks, fair point about the lobby which is much clearer than it used to be also, especially with the seperate tab things at the top

    Just saw by chance a PLO BH... then thought, if its a BH it shouldnt it be NLO? the concept of PLO and a BH together seems a bit odd. But  if it was changed to NLO then you would upset the regular PLO BH players.. cant please everyone can you? Who would run a poker site... seems like an impossible job!!!

    P.S when we getting NLO8 :) only joking dw, didnt mean you to spit your tea out!

    You are most welcome, Sir, & I'm sorry to hear the grim news from Glasgow this week.

    I think we probably have differing views as to what "overwhelming concensus" means, given that 11 people have requested it.
     
    I will do my best to persuade them though, honestly.

    On that, we can agree.

    I rather enjoyed your technical explanation too - "tab things". I may use that on the Show.

    The consesus of 11 people is of course a small sample, but not one dissenting post, which on this forum is unusual.  Also I have spoken in chat boxes with  many PLO8 players, and others that I am actively trying to get involved in the PLO8, and have yet to find a dissenting voice.  The fact is, that there are only a small number of PLO8 players to express their opinions, but we all seem to be in agreement here. 

    On the Rangers front, BRM ftw

    If I saw a later plo8 tourny in the lobby, I would leave the site immediately and put all of my bankroll on a site that only has sensible games, like speed turbo timed bounty hunters!!!!

    I am a massive fan of omaha and plo8 - i would support any increase in low stake comps in the evening - I agree we are starved of options

    WELL--- you are just showing off, because you have a brain! --- there are plenty of people that can't seem to get their head around it.

     How about one minute roulette omaha?

    Really though, I would give it a go if there was an evening 1.10 game, and I think plenty of others would. Especially when table resizing arrives and we can play more tables with a proper view
