i am sort of in awe, i just noticed there's a $1000/$2000 game of omaha hi/lo on fulltilt, it also made me curious what the highest online stakes are.

wouldnt mind making just 1BB/week playing that game

[bigredhoss]

just checked their highest 7cs game (also 1k/2k) and it has a 40k MINIMUM buyin...if the max buyin is 10x the min buyin like it is at PP/PS, you need a br of like.....4 million just to have 10 max buyins?

lol sry for pointless post this just boggles my mind tho

I actually watched one of these high limit tables for about ten minutes and saw some guy make £5,000 in that time, and another lose around £3,000. It was unbelievable watching people go all-in with £25,000 ?!?!

what does that translate to in $US :S

Do people actually play these games to make money or just for fun? Surely all also 1k/2k players are gonna be at the same skill level and are just gonna end up trading chips back and forth in accordance with variance and with no real winners or loosers?

Very approximately, multiply by 2. So £25,000 is very approx $50,000

That is like saying that all pros are the same so they shouldn't play against each other b/c they will eventually just trade money all while losing to the rake. There are just people out there that aren't that good that have some money.
