£1.15 DYM's required to encourage people to try the game. £2.25 too expensive wnen you are new to PLO8 as my bankroll has found out over the last few days :-)

Hi mate, you've been on a couple of my tables.
I had the same problem when learning hi lo, was expensive playing regs at £2.25 at the start. But hopefully you will persevere, and lets hope we get some lower stakes DYMs soon.
If anyone wants some "fun stakes" Hi-Lo Evenings (Cash & or Tourneys) after I get home, I'm up for it! Almost any midweek evening is fine by me. Posted by Tikay10
I would definitely like to participate. Don't know how my game would be against a WSOP casher. It would be nice, to have it at stakes that would encourage new players to try out, what you and I know is a terrific game.
I played a hi/low tourney yesterday and enjoyed it very much, it was a low buy - as I only play up to about £3 buy in's MTT's
I really enjoyed it and would play more if they were low price I even cashed - I came 2nd.
I think this one was £1.10 and there were 17 runners - it was great fun. So I do now look out for them - and we seem to get a few players on the low stakes ones.
I did try a DYM one, but think you have to be cut out for DYM's - which I'm not - yet. Regards
There are a few issues regarding PLO8 on this site. Firstly PLO itself is a minority game here and by follow on PLO8 is therefore a minoity variation of a minority game. This means the traffic will be very low. PLO8 is not a game that should be played without a good grounding in PLO first. The skill level differences between a knowledgable player and a novice are huge and therefore lead to people having to invest a lot to get better, which understandably they are not inclined to do, especially when there are juicy games available in a format they are more familiar with. I personally love both PLO and PLO8 and enjoy playing both of these but due to the low traffic available it is quite a while since i have played even one hand of PLO8. A little while back i did a series of blogs on omaha strategy which included one based entirely on PLO8. Dont know if it is still around anywhere but it might be of use to anyone wishing to start out playing the game. I hope that PLO8 does take off because i for one would love to be playing it more. The only thing i can think of to boost it up would be either for rake reduction/ extra points deals around. Or much better would be to get someone like tikay on the tables(when he gets back of course) at the lower limits and advertise the fact that he is playing to encourage people to check it out.

That would be, errr, sick!
I'll be available to play most nights except Wednesdays.
A few of us had a fun forum game going on a Sat night but its not run for a while (anyone know what's happened to jjjach? Not seen him about recently).
