Went to HPC last night and played 3-6 kill Omaha8. One table was wild, capping preflop 70% of time. Pots were huge. Other table, the one I played, was very passive. I was the only one who would raise preflop. Everyone kept giving me nasty looks when I raised, but my understanding is that raising preflop in Omaha is usually not a great idea because it gives your hand away. But if everyone is going to stay and chase with 2nd and 3rd nut draws, why not punish them? Well, despite playing tight and good poker, I managed to drop $170 in about 6 hours. Of course, I had numerous bad beats.
The question I have, is if you play solid Omaha8, is it more profitable to play in the wild game or this incredibly passive and game? And should I play many more hands, as there is about a 95% chance of the pot not being raised preflop?
Thanks.
