eddy - if you understand Omaha and the multitude of odds situations that occur then it's an easy game to make money from. In my opinion its the worst standard of play online of any game (because it's hard to work out the possibilities, and you have a lot of holdem poker players who try it out thinking it must be easier with 2 more cards  ) |

| im new to this game but i did fairly well last week.i noticed them all in on junk too.they just dont fold.i took 13th place outta 200 plus.$50 dollars i won for the 10+1 to get in.i believe with all the new players they think they will hit the low anyways and just stay in.so a good player should be able to very well in these games.i just got lucky im not that good. |

| Well you'll never be able to figure out why players do what they do. Forget about it. I'd question your play though. That flop was horrible for you. You should have folded on the flop and it should have been an easy fold. Maybe you could have raised preflop or reraise him all in. I'm more conservative then most at O8, I want in cheap unless I'm certain I can get it heads up. So many weird and wonderful things happen in that game and the flop is so important in 08 even more important then in hold'em. |

| If your new to OHL beware,its so easy to win the low & get less back than you put in if you split & one player wins the high.Variance can be huge in this game as its an out & out drawing game & you can be sure you will miss more times than you hit. |
