Some Omaha games in Gauntlet VII?

Do you guys think Omaha is popular enough now to mix in with the NLH games for Season VII of the Gauntlet? If we do it, I was thinking 8 of the 24 games to choose from would be Omaha with each player still allowed a max of 12 games to play. And if so, which Omaha format would you like?

Please vote accordingly and let me know what you think. If voting YES, vote only if you will be playing in the Omaha games.

FYI, the buy-in for each game this season will be $10+$1.

Also, vote here on the Tournament Of Champions game:

Would it make more sense to add the Omaha games rather than replace NLH games? So if we have 8 Omaha games, there would be 32 total games to choose from (24 NLH + 8 Omaha)...?

I'm just concerned about consistent attendance for every game throughout the season.

I'm going to guess the omaha games get not attendance. Unless the regs who don't really care about the standings decide to play. Just my speculation.

NL omaha is dumb. Limit isn't fun so I think it has to be PL. Omaha H/L is played in tourney's more than Hi, maybe someone else knows why. I'd play either H/L or Hi PL.

FWIW, If the format was going to stay the same I wasn't going to play at all this season.

I have cast my vote. I'll be there if it goes ahead, and I've voted H/L, the game that's played in tournaments and also my best game

For sure I wouldn't be able to play this season if 8 of the existing 24 games are Omaha. I would avoid playing Omaha games because I am terrible at that game, so I either vote 'no' for Omaha or say it's okay if they're added on to the existing NLHE games.

wow, I would be tempted to play 6max even though I'd get totally owned

6 max nlhe would be sooo good and I bet they'd get a good turnout. (I am kinda biased though) I would play some pl omaha even though I'd be a huge donk. I do eventually want to be good at it anyway.

6max is suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch a good idea.

i voted no for omaha.

yeah hu would be cool. They have 6 max tourny's on stars though can you email stars support and see what they say?

I like the heads up tourneys too

I like PLO8, I will play if they are the weekend ones, not the Wednesday ones;

How about a HORSE one ?

I am not that good at Omaha, but I think that in order to have a well rounded league, you have to mix it up. The league would be better for it. I voted PLO, 'cause H/L confuses me.

I really want to add Omaha to our league. I voted for and would totally play PLO8, as I've been playing that in home games and am liking it a lot.

There seems to be enough interest to get at least 1 full table in the Omaha games. If you Omaha guys could get other Omaha players to get excited about the Gauntlet and get them to this poll, I think I may go ahead and add Omaha to our league... maybe a total of 32 games.

Those of you that have voted for PLO so far, will you not play PLO8 (Hi/Lo)?

And 6-max NLH seems to be very popular. Maybe I'll do all three this season... Full NLH, 6-max NLH, and PLO8.

I voted no. Sad

Sadly I wouldn't play in that many of the Omaha events. I would like to play in a couple though. If you included fewer throughout the season, you would probably get more participation in the Omaha events you do have. Throw in like 2-3 extra PLO8 events on top of the holdem tourneys.

P.S. I vote for PLO8, if you throw a couple Omaha events into the mix.
