Default I don\'t get it....

Hmm... I just recieved $50 each in two party accounts (I dont play there anymore) and I cant withdraw the money without playing 500 raked hands for each $50. So I decided to play PL $25 Omaha Hi. Well anyway, I don't really get where the skill comes in in Omaha. I mean even at the PL $25s, people play loose-passive preflop, which is ok, but then tight-agressive after the flop. And any time there is almost ANY pot sized bet at all, you can be sure over 85% the bettor has the nuts or a big draw. And if there is a raise, then you can be over 98% sure that the raiser has the nuts (or a full house if the flop is paired).
Well anyway, my question is, where does the skill come in? I mean you just wait for good/drawing hands and then once you hit the nuts (or a good hand with redraws) on the flop, you bet out. When do you ever bluff in Omaha? When do you slowplay? In my opinion, both of those questions can be answered in two words: almost never. I know it's possible to make a living off Omaha, and I heard the PL $25's are a gold mine... but the game itself.. is it this stale and predictable or am I missing something here?
Another thing, people say 'dont play with danglers' well thats kinda hard when over 95% of the hands are not perfect without any danglers. I mean I played for more than an hour two tabling and I think the best drawing hand I got (that was capable of winning) was 5522.
Thanks...
