| History of Omaha Hi Lo Poker |
 |
The history
of Omaha Hi Lo begins around the start of the Second World War
when community card poker games first became popular. Texas
Holdem has always been the most prominent community card poker
game but Omaha is fast catching up. During the 1980’s Robert
Turner, a professional poker player from California, is said to
have introduced the game of Omaha to Golden Nugget card room
manager and pro poker player William ‘Bill’ Boyd. As a result
Boyd started to spread the game in the Golden Nugget labeling it
‘Nugget Holdem’, a name which obviously would never stick.
In 1984 the first Omaha Hi event was introduced into the
WSOP as a limit event with a $1,000 buy in which was won by
poker legend David Sklansky. However it’s not until 1991 that
Omaha Hi Lo poker was added to the WSOP schedule. In 1991 event
17 was the Limit Omaha Hi Lo Event, it had a $1,500 buy in and
was won by Joseph Becker who took down the $119,400 first place
prize money. By 1991 there were 3 Omaha Hi events as well as the
Omaha Hi Lo tournament.
Between 1991 and now Omaha and
Omaha Hi Lo have both seen a massive spike in popularity partly
due to there generally being more people who play poker now but
also partly due to the fact that poker players are bored with No
Limit Texas Holdem and are looking to other poker variants to
find weak games and increase their win rate. All variations of
Omaha look set to have an extremely bright future, especially
online. |
