Message: [QUOTE="zachvac, post: 1143463, member: 26306"] You talked about O8 later and I'm not sure if you mean O8 or just Hi here, but Omaha Hi is far higher variance while you're right O8 has far lower variance than HE. Especially against bad players, typically in O8 if an opponent sucks out they'll only suck out for half the pot. It's a pretty good game when worst case scenario you get your money back and best case you take their stack. In O8 however, there's one pot and 60-40 is considered a huge edge. Good players are pushing a lot of small edges like getting their money in with 55-60% equity and that's the equation for huge variance. In Hold 'em the huge edges are around 80% and it's not uncommon to be able to get an opponent in drawing dead. That very rarely happens in PLO Hi. [/QUOTE]
