def freaking donkeys game pssh ffs omaha
What are you talking about?
Omaha is the most skilled game and fun ever. :)
Lots of variance in the game ... it's just unavoidable. Pushing with current nuts vs monster draw is a frequent occurrence.
Guess if someone is a perfect Omaha player, he can make a lot of money...
like the game play it on hero for free
but there is a lot of shove and pray for sure
IMO its just too much a luck game. I dont really see the skill involved unless the skill is folding alot. way too many see a flop or try to. If someone could explain what the skill is involved in omaha id definitely listen to opinions but at this point i just dont see what it could be..
No, definitely not, there is a strategy to Omaha as with any variant of poker. I do not have it down, but know quite a few successful cash players at higher stakes.Quote:

omaha is a tuff but fun game ,it is to me alot of good guessing when to play or stay or just fold.but yu can have nuts in beginning by the end yu are outdrawed
One of the dealers at the poker room I go to plays High Stakes Omaha and gets backed into some wsop events and stuffQuote:

omaha hilo is the best version
Omaha is how I know I'm a masochist. :eek:
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.Quote:

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

aww baby, i taught you more than having that philosophy. I took quite a bit of time to show you the in's and out's of omaha. you are a much better player than push and prey, but i know you can't play the stakes i do yet where the skill comes out more. but you will love, and tis why i love my girl.Quote:
