A Question of Taste

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Split-pot games require strategies not used in NL Hold'em, and they're also fun to play. But they don't seem to be a big hit with the viewing public. Most days the rail is packed with people watching players fight their way to a World Series final table. Today there's just a handful watching, probably because after you watch ten chopped pots, you think you've seen them all.

The players, however, don't seem to mind that there aren't throngs of rabid poker fans breathing down their necks. Omaha Hi-Lo requires concentration, and every face around the four remaining tables looks determined and focused.

Level: 14

Blinds: 2,000/4,000

Ante: 0
