Default Re: Why is there no NL Omaha?

One would need to get experience of it to know better. No-limit before the flop, no thanks. No-limit on the flop might be good in loose games; sometimes one can't even bet because there just are too many cards that will beat it on the turn, and the many callers get collectively good enough odds. I am not sure the overbetting on the flop is too big of a problem as if one overbets the nuts one gets action from overnuts and misses calls from players that are not getting the odds with a pot size bet. No-limit offers more variety, so basically more skill. Bad player overbetting the flop, you might not like that as you might rather get good implied odds to try to beat him. The same reasoning for preflop play; one might like to have the option of all-in, but one might not like to give that option to worse players, even though they will make mistakes there too. A very loose game would be better as no-limit, to pick the flop where one is a good favorite and figure to move more or less all-in.
