Default Omaha/8. Should I just stop playing in tournaments?

I've been playing some Omaha/8 tournaments. A few sit and go's on Party as well as the multi-table tournaments at Ultimate Bet. My results have been decent. I'm doing well at the SnGs on Party but I'm wondering if this is simply due to luck and not good play. If so, should I just stop playing? The sit and go limits move up too fast for my liking, and if I don't get a hand early, I'll just wind up going all-in at a later level with nothing more than a naked A2 or a good, but not great hand. I think my wins are due more to luck than my good play, and my losses are also due to my luck in getting a good draw, but not making it and being short-stacked much earlier than I'd like.

At the multi-tables, I've finished on the bubble a few times. Once, it was 8th place out of 48 when it paid top 5. Yesterday, I finished 13th out of 55 just missing the top table. I'm still kicking myself for that one, as I had a good chance to fold and make the money, but I got caught with a mediocre hand and flop and the big blind and didn't win any half of the pot. I tell myself that this was okay and I needed to take a chance to move up and not just slide by, but I'm still kicking myself for not folding.

It's a little discouraging to be so close for me. Should I just quit playing these? It almost seems like there's more luck here than in Hold Em tournaments. Maybe I should loosen up my starting hand requirements in an attempt to build chips early?
