Omaha ?

Omaha is how I know I'm a masochist.

Omaha is the most difficult poker game for me to win. "push it in and prey" is a good way to describe it.

Not true at all, although many do play it that way. You still want to have a decent starting hand just like hold 'em.

I enjoy playing Omaha while playing HORSE freeroll. Many players play every hand. So yeah when playing a freeroll push & pray when I play a premium hand lol

When you play Omaha it best to leave your holdem mentality elsewhere ... stuff like flopping an open ended straight draw will cost you a lot unless you got something else to go with it.

why is it not very many people play omaha

Most are used to holdem and many don't even know the rules of Omaha (how many cards to use, etc.). Doubt we will see an Omaha boom in the near future.

I think it have more luck involved than in Holdem, but it's not that much difference. You still need to think about the odds and started hands. The only thing I learned is that you can rarely bluff in omaha.

funny and true ... Holdem rarely pisses me off ... Omaha/8 (my favorite game) way too much but I keep going back for more

Lol, yeah right. It is if at the lower stakes i am sure, but so is hold em. and omaha to hold em is like chess to checkers. much more skill involved, and tons more strategy.
