Omaha outreach program?
Anyone have any ideas for advertising Omaha to the general poker population?

Why? So the tables can all be overrun by TV watching wannabes like the Hold 'Em tables are? I quite enjoy its current lack of popularity, as long as I can find at least one table.

Yeah, well that is a good point.
But I still enjoy the jovial air around the Omaha table. |

That's how most live O/8 games I've played have been, there just arent' enough of them :/! |

They (Wannabes) usually sit in my O/8 game waiting for a NL seat to open up. Best gift ever!!!

Re: Omaha outreach program?
It's think that tournament style No-Limit Hold'em has propelled the incredible popularity of ring game Hold'em (Both limit and No-limit). If big Pot-Limit Omaha games gain widespread acknowledgement as a game requiring a very high degree of skill, then perhaps limit Omaha (Both Hi and Hi/Lo) ring games will become more popular.
The beauty of Hold'em is that it literally does take a minute to learn but a lifetime to master. Omaha takes about 10 minutes to learn which is too long for the attention span of the kind of people that you would like in your game. |

As long as it has the word 'holdem' in it, it should really help. |

Re: Omaha outreach program?
it is kind of annoying that ESPN will show almost a dozen of the WSOP events, but that almost all of them were hold 'em. i guess they assume their audience is too dumb to figure out hi/lo games. as someone who plays stud 8/b and omaha 8/b exclusively, i would've loved to have seen at least one of these events. i mean, you can turn on the tv any night and see all the no-limit you could ever want.
