Omaha 8 suggestions for improvement

1 get rid of the killpot or at least raise the trigger point to 2 scoops instead of 1, it really blows to know that out of the 70 $ dollars you just one your going to give back 1 1/2 blinds usually defending a marginal or terrible hand here.
2 get rid of jackpot in O8.  The jackpot rules for O8 basically mirror holdem rules, problem is 08 is a signifactly different game.  wereas in holdem you usuallly want to play pocket 5s through 9s and almost always want to play 10s or higher in  O8 you are or you should be dumping a bunch of hands that contain these pairs and also the various suited connectors (playable in holdem)that lead to the uber rare st8 flush vsof a kind for jackpot.

I"ll admit i'm ranting and I sound cheap but it is not fair to be forced to pay for a jackpot system that benefits holdem players while playing O8.  Fwiw i hate jackpot while playing holdem too, if i wanted to scratch lottery tickets i could drive 2mins to circle k instead of 1/2 to the casino

They are two different jackpot pools now.

And you really don't want your opponents playing T993 chasing a jackpot?  Come on now, let's be logical.

Any time your opponents make a mistake chasing a jackpot and you don't make a similar mistake, you benefit.
