Omaha tournaments are contradictory because Omaha is a draw equity game...and the structure is an MTT where you get only 1 stack to run your equity with. In Omaha cash you can just reload while using BRM even if you lose you just need to play more hands.

Omaha MTTs have massive variance and Omaha cash you can lose up to 6-7 stacks especially Cap Omaha and not have done anything wrong.

Omaha Cash can either be played extremely loose nut strong limping all hands and betting only the nuts or the more approved and liked way is to play tight as a nit nuts or nothing pre, flop,turn and of course river only.

Check out Phil Galfond on the forum he is an Omaha specialist so is Ryan Laplante IMO.

For me, too, at the beginning Omaha seemed to be playing the lottery, but later- I learned how to play Omaha normally and understand what and when I need to fold or just like we need to play and for me the game became more and more interesting than hold'em, but many of my familiar people and my friends I do not like Omaha and they prefer to play only hold'em, but sometimes I see good streamers who play Omaha and they like the game and they win good money in Omaha, so try learning Omaha more and maybe you will like Omaha!

Hello.
I am sure it depends on the skills and experience of the player. If the player is a beginner, has little experience and scanty skills, then Omaha is a lottery. If the player is experienced, has enough experience and skills, then Omaha is an option for profit.

It is tough to do a cold stone bluff in Omaha. Easier in NL
Also variance is just insane and I don’t like playing tournament Omaha
At least cash games can load up if felted by bad beat.
I find lower limits is more passive game.
In the higher limits than are more pot size bets.

Oh absolutely. It is a lot of fun too.

The variance in Omaha is huge. It takes a lot of learning and many years of play to defeat her.

Omaha is more dispersion than Holdem. I have never played it, but watched some videos. A lot of outs isnt clear where, this game is more fun than holdem.

The fat that every one have 5 cards in his hand make omania a game for been played very tigth,ex,you have AAKK, ill never shove pre flop because any one can make 2 pairs,so the probavilities that we use in holdem to know how manny combos beat us in turn or river in omania are 2.5 times biguer just because the villain have 5 cards to use

Its a lot of fun, but in my opinion there are just too many possibilities and outs. Even if you have the nuts by the flop; there are many ways your hand will not be that good by the river.

So, even if I love the chaos that is Omaha, I'm going to say that its mostly lotto based

Hello friend, I think sometimes depends on the player, but for me it is a game which depends more on luck and the odds of victory or defeat are less extreme in Omaha than in Holdem.

The number of variables is certainly greater. lottery? is a little too much

in fact lottery is kind the same thing as lottery because of the fact that you rely on your luck...

If you've mastered the game of Texas hold'em with a little bit of work you can try to master the game of Omaha I believe to master Omaha is not to master of the cards, mastering the leverage the power of your chips

Omaha is contrary to a lottery, it is far less lottery than holdem, where you can depend on luck far more.
Omaha is for more advanced players because it demands more calculation.
I do not know about pros, but there are experienced players who play Omaha only.
You sure could earn more on Omaha newbie than on a holdem newbie where the newbie can depend on his luck much more than he can in Omaha.
