Omaha is definitely the first game a Holdem only player should branch out to if they want to play more than just Holdem. There is more action and higher variance in Omaha, but it is a definitely a fun game to play and when played right is very profitable.
omaha is just like holdem only difference is that you get 4 cards and must make your 5 card hand with 2 of your hand and 3 on table
I like to play Omaha. You should try HORSE. Its a variety of all the games. One of my favorites.
I like to pick up an Omaha game about once a week just to change it up. Hi/Low is usually a great game to start with for a beginner!

I actually like Omaha H/L. If you play it long enough, you can tell which hands will almost guarantee you some of the pot.
Only thing I don't like is people that don't know how to play it and think you should bet like in Holdem. Since the chance of splitting a pot with someone else is high, then you don't want to push people out with over betting. With the split pot structure, you want to keep as many people in with a winning hand as possible. Otherwise I have split way to many pots with just me and another player who pushed everyone else out. Ticks me off. The Omaha and Omaha H/L book from TJ Cloutier is excxellent.
Omaha is a great game with lots of card combinations you can play
I personally fee Omaha involves mere gambling than Holdm b/c it is more difficult to predict your hand strenght a lot of times
yes omaha is a tuff game to play at times but is fun an is more of a gamble
