When I sat down it took me a few hands to figure out that we were playing O8 and not Omaha (idiot floor...am I supposed to be psychic? they ask if I want to play 'Omaha' while I wait for a hold-em seat and I say 'sure'. Is it THAT hard to remember that Omaha-Hi is usually referred to as just Omaha in the poker-universe??)

Games such as Omaha that are normally played high low split are refered to as the shorter version. Omaha high is rarely spread in a casino and when it is it is normally designated "Omaha High" to avoid confusion with "Omaha" (8 or better for low). When it is pot limit "pot limit Omaha" is assumed to be high as PLO/8 is very rare in a B&M.
