No Limit Hi-low?

BigBlue · #1 (**permalink**) 07-29-2007, 10:46 PM

We've been playing a bit of NL Hold 'em, and some of the guys want to go back to dealers choice every now and then.

Some of the "always low" guys think it's a good idea to go No Limit in our dealers choice games... some of which are Hi-low.

I'm not sure that No Limit is a good idea for Hi-only 7-stud (and variations)... I'm really pretty sure that it's a horrible idea for hi-low versions.

Is there anyone who plays no-limit 7-stud?

Would you even consider NL for a game that has a low?

P* runs some NL Omaha Hi/Lo games. Not my cup of tea, but it's out there.

Why not? There are NL hi/lo games altho PL hi/lo is more commone. As to stud hi, a lot of people play it NL.

I have never played it before but it sounds like fun. I might need to add it to my home game next time.

ive never seen a nl or pl 7card stud ever. If your playing stud8 and make it NL that pretty much ruins the game. pl omaha is very common tho.

We play NL ($20 buyin) dealer's choice games including 7-card, holdem, crazy pineapple, Omaha and Omaha H/L. It's a blast. Generally lots of action and some tough (and fun) poker decisions have to be made.

NL for a hi-lo game is ridiculous. I've never heard of PL or NL 7 stud. Some games are not meant to be NL! If it's dealer's choice, I believe it should all be limit poker with blinds and/or antes as the games require.

Never heard about a NL stud too. One time played the NL O8 on stars but i didnt like it..

If we play a dealers choice we make it: NL HE , PLO, PLO8, limit 7stud, PL 5carddraw, and sometimes with limit Razz.

We played pot limit stud for a while, but it was pretty ridiculous. What we do now is similar to the Big Game. The button calls a game, we play that once around the table and then the player to his left calls a game and so on. That way we can play limit or no-limit (although we play pot limit instead of no limit) games and everyone gets a fair shake.
