Omaha Flush Draws (almost) always complete
Ok, I'll have to go through my hand histories for some factual numbers, but ...
It seems that on any site I play Omaha on, including Stars, FT, Carbon, Pokertime, whenever a flop appears with a 2flush, it seems that it almost always completes to a 3 or more flush. This seems to happen much less often in Holdem. Is there a mathematical / probability reason that a flush board should complete more often than in Holdem? Or is it just my imagination ? |

Just your imagination / selective recall.
You've seen two more cards in the hand compared to NLHE so you've got a slightly different percentage of hitting your outs in Omaha but that doesn't explain any massive increase in the number of flushes that hit. |

Well if you're playing well, you will chuck hands pre that don't have any flush possibilities, so you're odds improve that you are holding a hand that could complete.
If your double suited you have better chance of hitting, and if you are 4 flushed pre that would lower your odds. |

True, but OPs suggestion was that the third card falls more often on the board. Hole cards are not relevant to that. |

True, I may be more aware of it, becase in Omaha Hi freerolls, I basically only play for flushes, boats, or trips, quads, i.e. I have AaXa or a pp. (Maybe that's why I've never cashed in one yet lol. Did get up to about ~70th in a FT one once). |

Second, your game will be very incomplete without some mastery of the component of straights. Gappers, wraps, and # of nut and non-nut outs - and starting hands that likeliest to produce more nut outs. |
