Default Re: Why is PL Omaha not NL?

There are some NL omaha games at times (once in awhile on prima there's a low stakes one). It ends up being more of a mathematical game and you can easily get your aces in before the flop against somebody who has no idea what they're doing. It's also a heck of a lot easier to protect a hand. In PLO you have to build the pot then figure out what the opponents are chasing/doing on the river. I couldn't raise every (or 90+% of them) hand like a lot of people do. I just can't raise a hand like 6664 or even play the darn thing lol. When they do that I nut peddle a little too much but I know I can really hurt them in a big pot because they think they can easily run me over.

I've noticed at small/mid stakes it really doesn't change that much though. Just makes the pot/implied odds different for some players who will just move allin. I usually end up firing close to a pot size bet anyway.
