Omaha Poker - only luck play or skill need?

Mostly i play texas holdem poker but sometimes i play omaha but mostly i lose.I know the basics of omaha poker,where you get 4cards and best two are selected and in the table 3 are selected.I have seen less number of players play omaha compared to holdem.
The last time i played omaha i had full house on the flop but still got lost with a higher full house.I was like this game is just extreme luck because 1 out of 2 chances someone will have a straight.Wherelse in holdem poker straight is great cards.I think in omaha luck is more needed than skills.
if im wrong than i would love to learn some usefull omaha strategys in tournaments or cash games.

I like omaha tournaments there you can wait a "good cards" keep in mind position. In tournament you have no any hurry because there are not antes, and they are usually normal speed. Very rarely needs to 3-bet. Here's some basics.

Good cards!!! Actually i dont know what are good cards in omaha poker . For ex- I have AKJQ and opponent win with a straight like 2,3,7,9..lol and many times it happen like this.

Can u please explain which pairs of card are good and why.thanks.

the card combination is like in Holdem! but you must to read rules of the game before start play it/ u can combine only 2 card in your hand with 3 card on the table (so if u have AKQJ, and T on the table it isnt str8, but A high comb)/ so its became more mathematical than Holdem. or low combination if play O Hi/L. anyway, learn rules before)

Poker Players always needs skills to play wathever is the type! In case of Omaha, dispite we have more hole cards does't means that is easier or just a lucky question! Poker is 95% skills and maybe 5% luck!!! I guess!!!

Here you can find plenty of info for Omaha http://potlimitomahastrategies.com/
e.g. Top Ten Starting hands In Pot Limit Omaha or an example of how strong certain Omaha Draws can be. Improve your skills slowly there are no shortcuts to become good/solid omaha player. A big thing to be aware of in PLO is that the variance is much, much higher. Studying first, one game the PLO and later check out PLO8 (hi-lo)

I play omaha, and omaha H/L sometimes.because it is more complex than Holdem.
i dislike players almost all-in just A-* in hand.

Omaha is a flop game and either the turn or river can change the results. You need more atention than in holdem.
