Default is omaha H/L easier than omaha High (pot limit)?

still a newbie but about 20,000 games under my belt so not a complete idiot either. Normally play 10/25 to 50/1$ games at pokerstars and UB.

I am up about 3BB/100 on H/L but down about the same on O/High. I am fairly tight/passive-agressive with a VPIP of about .41 (bit lower lately).

My typical omaha session goes something like this
20 hands in a row tossing in the bin pre or post flop. (none would have won even if I stayed in)
Couple of OK hands back to even. Another 20 crap hands.
After 2 hours maybe a little up. Real struggle. Then one ball breaker where you go all in and lose the lot (with the best hand!) .

H/L seems more controlled. Lots more bad players who can't evaluate their hands properly. Much fewer all-in decisions at an early stage (say before the turn when anything can happen). Often a back door escape if you are outclassed one way.

I am wondering if this is other people's experience or just mine? I only play high now when I get bored with H/L or there isnt a decent table available. [Obviously I need to improve or change my style but that is not the question here]
thanks
