Alright I need help, im doing a tutorial, poly to sub-d head modeling, and the guy keeps edgelooping edges on the head. I searched threw tons of threads, and it seems that edgeloop for polygons in Maya don't exsist?! Can somone clear this up for me.

com'on of course we have it in maya..:)..

If you have version 7 it's included else you have to look at

OMT or MjpolyTools

what do you mean?

You can't select edgeloops with Maya out of the box?
Try select continous edges as long as they work ;]

But Its really not the same. For real edgeloop selecting crawl for OMTools (http://jakob.welner.dk/omtoolbox/docs/), MJPolytools (http://www.maya3d.dk/Scripts/MJPolyTools/)or koshigaya script suite (http://koshigaya.de/). The first two are only scripts. Koshigaya is a real programmed Plugin.

-thematt, darn im using maya6, i'll download one of those plugs, thanx :)

-my understanding of an edge loop is just like inserting an isoparm on a nurbs surface, from an exsisting one, dragging it into place. Like the second picture below. So with Koshigaya script suite (http://koshigaya.de/) I will be able to do that?

With OMTools at least you can do exactly that, dunno about the others.
