Re: The virtues of Omaha/8
Sheridan,
Another good post. I've been thinking of throwing my hat into other rings. I've only played that game in freeroll tourneys but it seemed that it was kind of complicated. I had a starting chart from a post somewhere here that was more complicated and I never read Zee's book but it was fun to play. My questions are: How much time do you invest in a different game? Are you worried that it will stunt your learning curve for moving up in Hold'Em (or would stunt a newer player's?)
In the first poker book I read it said something like "The crazy the rules the more advantage an expert has". I don't know if this is true or not but it sounds like it has a grain of truth for Omaha/8. Although a better explanation may be that more people play it that have no clue compared to Hold'Em.
(BTW, I used to work at the Trump in Gary. Hated it.)
