    Some people like a crazy game
    Slow night at the casino with only two games going. Eventually the game I'm at breaks and move to other table. It's 1/2NL with straddle every hand and always opening raise of $20+ with frequent all in's preflop. If anyone of these Asian guys got a big ace or pocket pair it was all in. These games are just straight up gambling pots are so big preflop that on flop you only have one move............. either all in or fold. These games are just straight up gambling and drawing hands are worthless. Just no poker is played in these games.

    Really wasn't all that interested in playing a high variance game so picked up and left. Some guys just salivate over this type of game and would give and arm and leg to play in it. But I prefer a game with lots of tight players. You know anytime these guys put money in the pot they have it. You can just take down pots left and right in these games. I call these games risk free poker.

        agree emily, if you play guys who fold, you can nickel and dime them to death. why do you like omaha so much then if this is your style of poker?

          Oh its poker,just a different style. Assess their pfr ranges, what calling and reraising ranges are of the Pf raises, adjust accordingly and start jamming pots preflop yourself. I'd trip over myself trying to get to that table.

            I think I probably like it so much is that it's just something different than holdem

            Get tired of playing that game

              omaha is definitely beatable, its just a very high variance game. thats more what i was alluding 2.
