Re: The attraction of omaha
There was a thread just recently (in here and cross posted to the "Omaha/8") section that listed 5 or 6 casinos bringing Omaha 8.
It is a VERY profitable game. Primarily because people bring the aggressive HE mentality to the O8 game which will frequently get you in trouble.
Al is correct about the speed. Sometimes it can be painfully slow, AND the players can be very crabby, BUT the players can be VERY bad and VERY profitable.
I play O8 online and the previous poster is absolutely right about playing to the nuts.
But when playing at the casino it is a different game, you can play a lot looser and do well.
The best book out there is Ray Zee's book in Hi/Low Split poker.
Good luck,
Dave
