Hi,
As some of you may have noticed I play SnG. I love it and will continue to play. However, I am interested in diversifying into another game. I have lost quickly when moving over to nolimit hold em cash games, so am wondering whether I should try and learn Omaha properly. One reason for this is Phil Gordon saying it is now the game of choice but tactically it is in the same place Hold'em was about 8 years ago, i.e a few good players and a lot of bad players, so there is money to be made.
I have played the game but stopped about six months ago as what I was winning at SnG I was losing at Omaha SnG.
Opinions please

Play whatever game(s) you enjoy at levels you can afford. As long as poker is a hobby, you don't have to treat it like a business by trying to maximize profit.

I think it's a very good idea to learn Omaha properly. Just make sure you start at small stakes so you don't run into a lot of experienced players, 'cause they'll eat you up at that game....

Omaha cash games are dumb at low stakes. People raise like its NLH. Stick with what's profitable. I think PL Omaha is better for tournies. NL Omaha is good for cash game. Omaha is a drawing game, so play double suited hands, and hands like 6789 or similar

Omaha is a fun game to me. Id prefer NL holdem but it is a fun and easy way to win playing the game the right way not just shoving and crossing your fingers!

Plo is a lot more fun that homldem and once you learn the rules, its not difficult, you have a lot more ways of being the winner / and the loser so be prepared for a rollercoaster ride
