It's the only tables that have constant action, so why not have them on a daily basis,
instead of only the weekend.

I see that they aren't open today, however I think they have been open most days for the past couple of weeks. The SBR NL Omaha HiLo games are a lot fun, with a wide variety of tones to the games. Sometimes it's an all out burn to the ground affair, while at other times it's good solid play. I personally enjoy both versions.

I enjoy omaha hi/lo and would love the omaha tables to remain daily for us.

That sucks that they have been removed, I really enjoy omaha and it was nice to have that option regularly.

Why was daily Omaha removed without notice? Would have played over the weekend, if I knew it wouldn't be available. Why not give the poker community what they want, is this tease necessary?
Opti, make some calls please.

This is a pretty strange move after they were up for a couple of weeks. Not sure why they were only up on weekends anyways; is it because it makes rolling over easier with chopped pots? Regardless, would be nice to see those back (and SNGs) to give more options, even if it hurts some of us by keeping people's rollovers off the hold em tables and out of our bankrolls

I like them daily also. I work a rotating 12hr shift and only have two weekends a month off.

It should make no difference how poker points are rolled over as the rake is the same whether all pots are chopped or one player doubles up and one goes broke, SBR still gets the rake. Unless there are plants and superusers
Sure there may be some more all ins at hi/lo and max rake is reached but in the long run the difference is probably negligible

Unlike real money poker sites, where rollover is tied to bonuses in a way to make sure the site gets more in rake than they pay out, SBR rollover isn't set up to require the points to be raked. H/L games with a lot more chops will still result in the same rake/rollover, but gives people many more chances to rollover by simply paying the rake and chopping larger pots....compared to a hold em game, where better play is required to hold on the points long enough to roll them over.
In terms of points released, SBR doesn't care (if you assume the points are cashed out as soon as rollover is met, it happens with the same amount of rake either way), but maybe they care about making it easier or harder? I dunno...the most likely answer is that SBR doesn't really put that much thought into it, and that Omaha tables were pulled in keeping with how it was usually done. SNGs might be a different story, maybe that piece of the software is more challenging to implement or maintain...but I'd like to see them come back and allow buy in with rollover.

Right, so you agree this can't be a strategy to increase rake from those rolling over or it is a poor strategy
Maybe they do it to ensure more action because it takes longer to rollover at holdem like you said

Yeah...while I certainly appreciate the efforts SBR takes to keep some poker activity, I think most of us would agree there's not a cohesive plan, or any kind of analysis like real money sites would employ. Many possibilities, but SBR probably just has it low on the priority list...and can ya blame em? Poker doesn't exactly pay the bills around here

Suggested I could look after weekly updates. But I think they prefer me to spend all my time on the stuff they need me for.

a man like you doesn't need to be dealing with petty disputes with sportsbooks and people not reading the rules before they deposit..take the reigns of poker, get us some new promos..you're the man for the job

Would be nice as I said above, but first you'd need to start a petition for SBR to take feedback a little more seriously...thought maybe they turned a corner by making World Cup much better format and the short but sweet contest afterwards, but the general lack of concern over the last contest (tourneys not up until last minute, almost no updates) seems to be a big step backwards. If SBR doesn't do updates for a contest it's running, seems unlikely they're gonna go above and beyond to improve the poker experience.
Standard disclaimer: dailies are good and I enjoy em, SBR still doing that right

I was wondering what happened to the Omaha tables! Didn't know it was a "weekend only" thing. It's just like sex with my gal....
