Default What is the best site for Omaha8?

I am just learning Omaha8 and want to play some limit online. I just played a little on PokerRoom but there was only 1 game going on there and it was .5/1. That is fine for practice but I would like a better selection.

What site has the best game selection for Omaha8?

Thanks!

Party is OK but it can be hard to find a selection of full ring games at 2/4, 3/6, or 5/10 LO8, so if you don't want to play 6max Party may not be best, although it probably does have more total games than other sites.

UB usually has a few LO8 games going but never more than 2 or 3 at a particular limit. Haven't tried Paradise.

If it's just limit you're after, nothing beats the fishyness of Paradise O8. Plenty of table choice during peak hours too.

No, you were right. They're pretty bad at Paradise too.

Cool. I generally only like to play a site if I have some bonus to clear but I may make an exception while learning this game.

After I get some experience with it, should I play PLO8? Is that where the money is?

At the risk of letting the cat out of the bag, I've found PLO/8 games to be the single most profitable form of poker for the skilled player. It's a tricky game, however. The progressive pot-limit betting structure, the split-pot nature of the game, along with the usually Omaha nuances can result in a lot of confusion for the beginner. I would suggest spending enough time to become a winning limit Omaha/8 player first before you experiment with PLO/8. Once you go pot-limit, though, you'll never want to go back to limit.
