I was watching Omaha PL, it blows my mind that you will have 6to8 people playing with hundreds of thousands of dollars and sometimes put it in the pot, on one turn of the cards.They blow more money in one session, than a lot of people have in their bank accounts.

PL Omaha is a whole different beast if you're mainly familiar with NL Hold'em cash games. They've grown more and more popular over the years and because you have more cards in your hand, there's more chances and outs to get big hands, which mean bigger pots.

Best edge is playing against NLH specialist that over value hand strength at the incorrect time. Definitely a gamblers game when you seldom that far behind.

I admit I love playing Omaha but dam that game can be a bit wild pot wise. With so many cards in your starting range there are a lot of flops and playing giving you odds to continue loosely. This is very much not a game for the timid.

Honestly, I don't care what others have in their accounts. The main thing for me is what I have and how I can increase it.

There are different players, and it is obvious that there are many multimillionaires and even billionaires among poker players. For you it's big money and for them it's just money for entertainment, so everything is relative.

I haven't played so much Omaha, but I really liked this type of poker, and primarily because of its low predictability. Regarding the fact that very large amounts of money are sometimes played in banks, and that such amounts do not have most ordinary people in their accounts, I completely agree. But this is life, someone has everything, someone has nothing or even debts behind their backs.
