'No Limit Omaha?' I hear you cry. Yeah, its sounds hellish. But I've become quite enamoured with NL Omaha 8 or Better over the last couple of weeks.

The reason is because there are a substantial number of players who will put in their whole stack with no chance to scoop the pot.

For a fairly patient player, these games are a goldmine. I've been playing the smaller games for a bit of practice, and over the last few sessions, I have been all-in for my entire $200 stack with:

The nut flush and nut low against a counterfeited low and no high!
A six high straight and a wheel against an overpair of aces!
Quad tens against a busted low draw and the top full house!
A wrap low / straight draw against two pair (kings and fives) and an overpair of aces!

Basically there are two types of hands that people ridiculously overvalue - A-A with any two cards, and low-only draws. I've seen people push all-in for $190 into a $10 pot to 'protect' their overpair or one-way hand.

Anyway, I implore you guys to try it, it might be the most profitable day of poker you ever have.

I once tried playing NL omaha 8 for play money when I was trying to learn the game but everyone kept pushing all in pre-flop. I realized I was never going to learn that way since it is a flop game and without the flop your hand is worthless. Do people play a lot of all in pots before the flop for real money?

People like to limp in to see flops at the lower level, but rarely are there allins preflop. As you go up, the hand selection is a little more refined.
