My friends and I were bored of playing Holdem, Omaha was too much of a sugar-rush and money was lost too quickly.
In a stroke of genius, we decided to have 3 card Holdem. The rules are such, everyone is dealt 3 cards. However unlike Omaha, we are not restricted to using only 2 cards. We can use 1,2 or 3 whichever makes the best hand.Therefore, one-card straights and flushes are legal.
Also, take note Aces are not the strongest hand anymore. Trip Aces is. But any trips, even trip 2s would be strong enough to shove preflop. Also suited rundowns like KQT of spades are very powerful hands in multiway pots.
What do you think of this hybrid? For us, we will revert to this if we're sick of Holdem or Omaha.
